President’s Message Since I joined Schenectady County Community College (SCCC) as President on July 1, 2009, I have had the esteemed pleasure to serve as the executive leader of a dynamic higher education institution that is embraced by a strong faculty and staff and a growing diverse student population. SCCC is a premiere community college and more and more students and parents are recognizing the myriad advantages of attending SCCC. We continue to keep our tuition low, staying true to our mission of providing accessible and affordable education for new and continuing students who wish to attend SCCC. We are a student-centered institution, providing small class sizes, superb faculty and excellent support services. I am pleased to celebrate the accomplishments of our students from the past year including those recognized by SUNY, Phi Theta Kappa and the NJCAA. I also applaud their commitment to student learning and academic success. Our faculty enhance student learning through innovative teaching tools and by utilizing technology in the classroom, as we prepare students to enter the workforce and/or to transfer to a four-year college or university. Last year SCCC professors covered new ground to enhance student success, from organizing a new high-tech summer camp for young women to authoring a book with tips for online learners. Additionally, we explore and develop partnerships with the community-at-large and the Capital Region, reaching out to other schools, as well as to business and industry to provide training and programs. During Commencement in May 2009, the College’s first graduate of the Nanoscale Materials Technology A.A.S. degree program crossed the stage at Proctors on his way to a new job with SuperPower, Inc. Also, enrollment in the SUNY Delhi Bachelor’s degree programs at SCCC and the University in the High School courses continued to excel to new heights. As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, a time for reflection, we look back on the past years with pride and are proud to share some of the 2008 – 2009 events and accomplishments in our Annual Report.

On June 25, 2009, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education acted to reaffirm accreditation for SCCC. Middle States accreditation is an expression of confidence in an institution’s mission and goals, its performance, and its resources. Based upon the results of institutional review by peers and colleagues assigned by the Commission, accreditation attests to the judgment of the Commission on Higher Education that an institution has met the following criteria: • That it has a mission appropriate to higher education; • That it is guided by well-defined and appropriate goals, including goals for student learning; • That is has established conditions and procedures under which its mission and goals can be realized; • That it assesses both institutional effectiveness and student learning outcomes, and uses the results for improvement; • That it is accomplishing its mission and goals substantially; • That it is organized, staffed and supported so that it can be expected to continue to accomplish its mission and goals; and • That it meets the eligibility requirements and standards of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. According to President Bullock, “The accreditation affirms the excellence and quality of SCCC’s curriculum and faculty. We will continue to look for new opportunities to serve our citizens through current and new high demand programs.” 3

A survey of students in online courses conducted during Spring 2009 revealed that students are satisfied with their online courses (85%) and would like to take more (92%). They responded that advantages to online learning include the ability to do the work anytime, anywhere (not having to be on campus at a specific time) and the independence and flexibility of being able to work at his/her own pace.
University in the High School
Many college freshmen across New York state are enjoying a higher academic status as a result of credits they earned in SCCC’s University in the High School program last year. More than 1,450 students earned about 6,000 credits toward their college degrees during the 2008-09 academic year, helping some students to begin their postgraduate studies with a semester or more already completed. These credits are earned through approved courses taught in high schools by SCCC-approved high school instructors. The courses are the same as taught on campus. Eighteen high schools participated in the program last year. SCCC invited several UHS instructors on campus during the year for collegial interaction and additional training for the courses. SCCC continues to play a leadership role in concurrent enrollment. Last year, the Director of the program at SCCC, Sandra Gonzalez, served her first year as Secretary for the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships, which accredits concurrent enrollment programs across the country. SCCC also played a key role in creating national standards for operating concurrent enrollment programs.

SCCC Foundation Dear Friends: The past year has been a very exciting time for our College. We recently welcomed a new leader, President Quintin Bullock, celebrated our first Nanoscale Materials Technology graduate, and listened to President Obama as he spoke about the importance of community colleges while standing – literally standing - in the Capital Region. Our Region is growing. The workforce demand for our students is growing. Enrollment is growing. SCCC has all the key elements necessary to thrive in the future. Our Foundation Board of Directors focuses on providing opportunities for the community to assist students in their pursuit of higher education. This past year, the economic downturn resulted in significant challenges for us and
Types of Gifts made the work we do even more important. The needs of SCCC students do not decrease when stock market investments decline. Scholarships make a big difference to our students, as we know from their letters of appreciation. Our donors make it possible for us to assist the College through Foundation grants and scholarships. Last year, the Foundation was able to award 226 scholarships totaling more than $170,000 to assist talented SCCC students. I want to thank the Foundation Board for their efforts in the past year and extend a warm thank you to all of our donors for their generosity. We thank you for making positive change a reality as together, we change lives.
