ADMINISTRATION

MESSAGE FROM THE VICE CHANCELLOR AND DEAN I am pleased to present the 2013-14 Annual Report for the Division of Academic and Student Affairs (DASA). The Division was created on July 1, 2012 through the merger of the former divisions of Undergraduate Academic Programs and Student Affairs. The convergence of these divisions into a single unit that serves the needs of all students is a direct result of NC State’s Pathway to the Future, in which Goal One is to “Enhance the success of our students through educational innovation.”

DASA serves all students by providing: (1) an array of academic and co-curricular support programs to help students progress towards degree completion; (2) access to high-impact educational experiences that enrich student learning, and (3) support for the health and well-being of our students. We are a division of over 2,300 staff, faculty, graduate assistants, and student employees all dedicated to enhancing the experience and success of all students at NC State.

During the past year, we have come together to envision the work of DASA through the lens of a new strategic plan – a plan that directly supports Goal One of the NC State plan. We have identified five goals in our plan that will guide our work for the next several years: I. Shape Your Life: Promoting Student Success Through Personal Responsibility In A Supportive Environment.

II. Open Your Mind: Promoting Student Success Through Educational Innovation And Intellectual Growth.

III. Build Your Community: Promoting Student Success Through Engagement.

IV. Serve The University: Providing Leadership For Student Success.

V. Ensure Sustainability: Developing And Stewarding Resources For Organizational Excellence.

It has been a year of restructuring and growth in the Division, driven by Goal IV. We have established a Development Office, Marketing and Communications capacity, enhanced our Divisional support for Finance and Business services, and continued a more centralized approach to technology support. These moves will ensure that we continue to serve students and the university well into the future. DASA also became home for NC State’s new Quality Enhancement Plan that starts fall 2014. The TH!NK Program will focus on classroom activities that improve students’ skills in critical evaluation, creative thinking, and reflection on their own thinking.

The report is organized by our five strategic goals and we highlight a variety of programs and their activities for this year in each area. However, with nearly 50 programs, it is impossible to

completely describe all activities in this report. We encourage you to visit program websites to learn more about their activities this past year.

It is a privilege to work with the dedicated staff, faculty and students in DASA as “We Support the Success of the Whole Student,” and I am pleased to present this report on their behalf.

A total of 4,043 students participated in formal Center for Student

Leadership, Ethics, & Public Service (CSLEPS) programming, resulting in a total of 28,847 direct contact hours in service and leadership programming.

ORIENTATION: PREPARING STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS Arriving on campus for the first time is exhilarating. But it can also be overwhelming. New Student Orientation gives first-year and transfer students and their parents the opportunity to become acquainted with the campus, before ever setting foot in a classroom. Attending one of the 23 orientation sessions offered during the spring and summer gives students a head start: they can explore campus freely, plan their schedules for the first semester, and even get their Wolfpack One cards. Orientation is directed by undergraduate student leaders who have completed more than 100 hours of leadership training.

This modern embrace of traditional craft alongside its virtual counterpart is sweeping through campus by way of the “Makers Movement.” The Crafts Center has proactively pursued inclusion in this new movement by introducing advanced technologies into its studios and broadening its programming scope and vision.

BECKMAN NAMED “OUTSTANDING TEACHER OF THE YEAR” The cultivation of artistic curiosity is a theme that resonates soundly within ARTS NC State and the Division of Academic and Student Affairs. Perhaps the best tangible evidence of that nurturing occurred in Spring 2014 when Gary Beckman became a recipient of the Outstanding Teacher of the Year, an award sponsored by the Office of the Provost and the Office of Faculty Development. A defining feature of Dr. Beckman’s program is student contact and mentoring.

HIGH IMPACT PRACTICES SHAPING STUDENTS’ FUTURES PACK PRIDE SETS THE STANDARD College is the chance for students to grow into the people they will be for the rest of their lives. There are high standards for the Wolfpack family, and as a community, we believe in making positive decisions and considering the implications of our actions. Pack Pride, a “reader’s theater” presented by orientation leaders during new student orientation, creates an opportunity to take an honest look at situations that students may encounter on campus. The program offers a realistic portrayal of a range of topics, from decision making and the power of language, to the impact students can have in the community. By allowing students to responsibly examine their own values and biases, we encourage them to build a community of respect and acceptance for

There are some experiences that change everything.

It’s more than just a fond remembrance; they make us look at life in a different way. NC State students don’t simply attend class. They are fully engaged in the university experience. There is so much knowledge to be gained, and many lessons occur outside of the classroom. The most successful students embrace the experience in its entirety. They are forward-thinking.

They are active participants in those opportunities considered to be High Impact Practices -- activities that directly impact student success. During orientation, New Student Programs collaborates with partners on campus to introduce students to ideas like study abroad, undergraduate research, and service learning. Students leave orientation with a deeper understanding of the opportunities that promote success, on campus, in the workplace, and in the greater community.

WOLF RIDGE RECEIVES LEED SILVER CERTIFICATION Wolf Ridge at Centennial is the ideal location for undergraduate and graduate students who want to experience apartment-living without missing out on all that our campus has to offer. It represents NC State’s first 12-month lease apartment development that is occupied mostly by undergraduate and graduate students. Residents have access to on-site dining and fitness facilities, as well as a University bookstore. This new complex is a cutting-edge example of NC State’s commitment to sustainable living. As a LEED Silver certified complex, Wolf Ridge features green spaces, a green rooftop, and energy-efficient appliances in each unit.

GREEK VILLAGE UNDERGOING MAJOR RENOVATION For the Greek Life community, tradition is everything.

The brothers and sisters of NC State’s Greek organizations have been a presence on our campus for decades, and the Beta Tau Chapter of Sigma Nu has been here since it all began. They were the first fraternity established on campus, and more than a century later, they continue to lead the way.

Sigma Nu has become the first fraternity to build and operate a house in the new Greek Village. With such a lengthy history, it’s second nature for Sigma Nu to think long-term. That’s why it’s no surprise that with the construction of their new house, they’ve taken steps to ensure sustainability on campus. The Sigma Nu house was designed with the future in mind.

Construction incorporated energy-efficient cooling and lighting systems, thermal insulation, and the use of environmentally-conscious paint. The Beta Tau

DASA DEVELOPMENT OFFICE TAKES SHAPE Although still in its infancy, the new Division of Academic and Student Affairs (DASA) Development Office is already experiencing success. Since its November 2013 inception, the office has worked to become established within the structure of University Advancement and the NC State Foundation. Residing in a powerhouse unit of more than 40 departments, DASA Development’s potential is enormous, and a palpable sense of enthusiasm is prevalent. It is an unparalleled opportunity to forge lasting relationships and connect alumni with the experiences that played the most significant roles in shaping their college experiences. In the coming year, Development leadership will focus on opportunities that will strengthen and propel the DASA and the University’s strategic plans forward. All involved recognize the extraordinary amount of work still to be done, but as members of a university that places such value on action and innovation, we know that the challenge will only serve to enhance the reward.

Chapter has a proud heritage, rich in tradition. With the new Sigma Nu house, they continue the legacy that will be a source of pride for generations of brothers still to come.

IRC AND UNIVERSITY APARTMENTS RECEIVE GRANTS Both Inter-Residence Council (IRC) and University Apartments received At Home in the World grants for programming efforts this year. IRC partnered with MultiCultural Student Affairs and various international student organizations for a program during Residence Hall Week.

University Apartments partnered with 10 different groups, including the Confucius Center, OIS, IRC, and the Korean, African and Thai student organizations for their MultiCultural Festival.

The At Home in the World grant promotes collaboration between diversity and internationalization efforts across the campus. In addition, it fosters cooperation between groups on campus that may not be familiar with one another.

MUSEUM RECEIVES FINE CRAFT COLLECTION AND ENDOWMENT

Bequest from the Brickhouse family is an ideal example of a gift that will both ensure the sustainability of the Gregg Museum and will further the museum’s ability to serve the mission of the university.

The development office for ARTS NC STATE aims to further the goal areas outlined in the Division of Academic and Student Affairs’ strategic plan.

One of the department’s fundraising highlights of the 2013-14 year, the $400,000 commitment from Wade and Brenda Brickhouse, illustrates how the development office plays a vital role in ensuring the sustainability of ARTS NC STATE. Brenda Brickhouse is an alumna of the College of Natural to give their collection of fine craft, valued at $200,000, to the Gregg Museum through a planned gift.

The Gregg will be an ideal home for their collection, because their artwork will complement and enhance the museum’s existing collections.

Wade and Brenda Brickhouse guaranteed that the Gregg will be able to support the ongoing expenses of managing their collection by accompanying their in-kind bequest with a $200,000 endowment.
