Community Involvement & Team Building Despite a global pandemic for the latter half of the fiscal year, the 2019 - 2020 year brought many opportunities for the Office of the Registrar to get involved in the community and participate in a variety of team building events and activities! To kick off the beginning of the year, our department hosted a very successful silent auction on behalf of the 2019 State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC). This year’s silent auction and individual employee donations raised a grand total of $7,388, which greatly exceeded our departmental SECC goal of $1,675.19. Proceeds from our SECC fundraising efforts were donated to the Lubbock Children’s Health Clinic, and personal contributions were donated to various local, state, and national charities. During Thanksgiving, our office collected and donated meal boxes that were distributed to families in need through the Lubbock Dream Center. Registrar staff members also participated in a community service and team-building activity while constructing winter cat shelters for Kat’s Alley Cats, a local nonprofit organization. Cozy winter shelters were then distributed to homeless community kitties in need throughout the Lubbock area. While most of our usual spring activities were held virtually, by Summer 2020, the institution remained committed to providing an on-campus, face-to-face experience for student services. Staff members participated in planning and hosting a series of welcome back sessions at the United Supermarkets Arena, during which the Division of Enrollment Management provided in-person assistance with a variety of student services.
