[GuidedPathways] Structural questions for all

[Nulty, Brigid C.]

Hi everyone.
I'm interested to know how each college has positioned their GP staff within their college.

For example:
At Shoreline, I am a full-time Director of GP. I act as "meta-" project manager and budget manager for all things GP-related.

  *   We have a single VP that oversees both Curriculum & Instruction and Student Services. Because GP affects both areas, I report directly to the VP, who is the Executive Sponsor
  *   I do not have any GP-specific support staff and rely on the generosity of administrative assistants around the college.

At other colleges, I know there are separate VPs for Instruction vs Student Services. And I'm sure we all have varying models of AVPs and Deans.

I've heard that some places have their GP efforts report to the VPI. Others have it in Student Services. Some have GP report directly to the President. What about Institutional Effectiveness/Research? What about DEI? Does anyone have anything like a "Exec Director of Retention" instead of a "Director of GP"?


Questions:

  *   Do you have a dedicated full-time lead for GP? What is their title? And who do they report to?
  *   Do you have a lead for GP who has other responsibilities too? (E.g. a Dean of some kind) I'm not referring to executive sponsors.
  *   Do you have dedicated support staff for GP? (E.g. coordinators, administrative support, etc.)
  *   Are you using some other model, what is it?

Anything you can share would be greatly appreciated, and feel free to contact me directly if you prefer.

Thank you all!
