SOUTHEAST BOARD OF REGENTS TO CONDUCT REGIONAL PUBLIC FORUM NOV. 11 IN ARNOLD
Residents of St. Louis County/Jefferson County/Festus/Arnold/Hillsboro invited
The Southeast Missouri State University Board of Regents will hold a public forum Nov. 11 in Arnold, Mo., as the University continues the process of preparing for another cycle of strategic planning.
The forum is scheduled for 1 to 3 p.m. at Jefferson Community College North Room 204. The College is located at 4500 Jeffco Blvd. in Arnold. The forum is designed for residents of St. Louis County, Jefferson County, Festus, Arnold and Hillsboro, but is open to the public.
The forum is the 10th in a series of forums hosted by the Regents, which began in mid-September. The forums have been held in communities throughout the service region, including in Cape Girardeau, Caruthersville, Kennett, Malden, Poplar Bluff, Sikeston, Park Hills, Perryville and Jackson. A St. Louis forum is planned for 6-8 p.m., Nov. 11 in Southeast’s St. Louis Outreach Office at 400 S. Fourth Street in St. Louis.
The Regents have scheduled the forums to report on the progress and outcomes since the first forums were held in 1994 and to hear additional comments, expectations and recommendations as the University moves into the 21st century and beyond, said Donald L. Dickerson, president of the Board of Regents.
“The purpose again is to solicit specific opinions about the future educational and service needs of the region and ways in which the University can be more effective in meeting those needs,” he said. “The aim once more is to produce a set of priorities to be used as the basis for the University’s future programmatic and budgeting decisions.”
In fall 1994, the University’s Board of Regents held a series of public forums throughout the
service region to hear comments and suggestions on how the University might respond to the needs of the region. This served as a basis for the University’s Strategic Plan.
“Strategic planning is a critical element in the continuous improvement of any organization and must be seen as a continuous process in the ‘plan, do, check, act’ cycle of quality improvement,” said Dr. Kenneth W. Dobbins, president of Southeast Missouri State University. “Many of the initiatives set forth in the 1994 plan have been completed or are well under way. It’s now time for the University to plan for another cycle.”
“Comments and ideas from citizens throughout the region are important as the University strives to meet the educational, economic and cultural needs of Southeast Missouri,” Dickerson said. “We hope they will give us the opportunity to hear their insights by taking part in the open forum process. Their voice is important.”
UPWARD BOUND INFORMATIONAL MEETING TO BE HELD AT CAPE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Southeast Missouri State University will hold an informational meeting on the Upward Bound program Nov. 16 at Cape Junior High School.
The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. in the counselor’s office.
Upward Bound provides services enabling high school students with limited income and who are potential first generation college students with a need for academic support to achieve their educational goals. The Upward Bound Program is designed to generate in program participants the skills and motivation necessary to complete a program of secondary education and to enter and succeed in a program of post-secondary education.
Project Upward Bound is a federally-funded program that is part of the Southeast Missouri State University Student Development Division. Upward Bound is designed to identify and assist low income and potential first generation students who are interested in pursuing a college education. The goal of Upward Bound is to develop academic skills and motivation necessary for success in post-secondary education.
The Southeast Upward Bound Program accomplishes these goals by offering year-round academic and non-academic assistance. The program is divided into a summer, academic year, and bridge component. Each component includes both academic and non-academic services.
The Academic Year Program consists of students coming Southeast’s campus two Saturdays a month. Students take part in academic workshops that are presented by University professors. The majority of these presentations are directly related to one of the core courses - English, math, science or foreign language. However, some presentations are more topical in nature - careers, study skills and self-esteem. Students also may attend various University-sponsored cultural, educational and social events.
The Summer Program is a six-week session held on the campus of Southeast. Students live in campus residence halls and complete academic courses on a daily basis. The Summer Program is designed to provide students with a simulated college experience.
The Bridge Program is an eight-week session, which allows high school and Upward Bound graduates the opportunity to take six hours of college courses at Southeast. These courses are paid for by the Upward Bound Program as well as students’ room and board. The Bridge Program helps students make the transition from high school to college.
Students participating in Upward Bound receive instruction in reading, writing, mathematics, science, English, foreign language, performing arts and computers. They also receive academic and career counseling, tutorial assistance, and exposure to cultural events and academic programs. They also participate in college visits and receive assistance with college and financial aid applications. The program also offers parent support programs and educational workshops.
Southeast is looking for students to participate in the Upward Bound program who are willing to pursue a college education, to commit six weeks of their summer to academics, to commit two Saturdays a month for academic enrichment and to follow a structured program. The program also seeks students who are enrolled in the college prep curriculum, in good academic standing, and who get along with and enjoy meeting new people.
To be eligible, a student must be a U.S. citizen, a potential first generation college graduate (neither parent has a four-year degree) or come from a family with limited resources, and have completed the eighth grade but have not entered the 11th grade.
