Dr. Cornille presented scorecard data related to high school districts within the Madison College service area that currently offer courses in one or more Madison College subjects. Of the 40 public high school districts in the College s service area, 35 districts (87.5 percent) offered courses during whose credits could be applied toward completion of a Madison College degree or diploma. Dr. Cornille stated that it would be difficult to achieve 100 percent participation because several of the school districts are very small. However, the College is working to partner with these districts so that dual credit courses can be provided online and/or through Interactive Television. Dr. Cornille noted that many of the high school students taking these courses continue on to Madison College. Ms. Oyama-Miller requested the break-out of minority students participating in the Youth Options program. 4

5 Dr. Cornille presented scorecard data related to the number of students transferring from Madison College to four-year colleges each year, and the number of postsecondary institutions with articulation agreements that allow Madison College graduates to participate in a Bachelors degree completion option. Transfers have increased steadily from 2008 to 2012, with 3,571 Madison College students transferring to four-year colleges during The College currently has 128 program-to-program articulation agreements with 28 four-year colleges and universities. This allows students to transfer their credits earned in a technical program towards the completion of a bachelor s degree. In addition, students may transfer to hundreds of other four-year colleges using specific course-to-course and other articulation agreements. Madison College continues to be the largest transfer institution to the UW System and to UW Madison.

Ms. Walleser reported that a recent survey of College faculty and staff indicates that 47 percent of respondents participate in at least one community organization, and 42 percent hold leadership positions. The results indicate that Madison College employees play a significant role in a diverse array of community and professional non-profit organizations. Ms. Bultema suggested that general talking points about the College be developed for faculty and staff to use when they are out in their communities. 5

The curriculum offered is new, and has not been offered before. This convention offers the opportunity for faculty to network with real estate professionals to gain information on best practices for the real estate program at Madison College. The real estate program is in the process of reinstating its Associate s Degree program, which was suspended in Students and the community including the Advisory Board for the program are requesting an expanded program with the most current and updated classes to make Madison College the leader in real estate in the State of Wisconsin. This will be the only statewide meeting of current real estate professionals that will be held before the final work is done on the Associate s Degree (May 2013 with courses beginning in fall 2013). Blood s participation will help to position Madison College s real estate program as the leading training program for aspiring real estate professionals. Center for Excellence in Teaching & Learning (CETL) faculty development funding and other program funds will be combined to cover the cost of participation in this conference. Note that while Puerto Rico is not technically an international destination, Madison College leadership has decided that the logistics of travel to Puerto Rico sufficiently match those of international travel such that it is included here for board review as if it was an international destination. RECOMMENDATION: The President recommends approval of this international travel. 33

The ICISP consortium is a regional network of colleges in Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa that promotes international education opportunities for member institutions. Madison College has been a member of ICISP since Each year ICISP selects faculty, staff, and administrators from member institutions to participate in a two-week reciprocal exchange program with partner colleges in Europe. Agnes Berenyi, Antonio Molina Rivas, and Leah Narans were nominated in spring 2012 and hosted the following visiting professors for two weeks in October 2012: Jaakko Laamanen, Teacher of Building/Construction works, North Karelia College, Kitee, Finland (Agnes Berenyi); Geoffrey Tsang Keung, Vice Director-International Center, Xi an International University, Xi an, Shaanxi, P.R. China (Antonio Molina Rivas); Jarkko Koistinen, Teacher of Technology/Culture, North Karelia College Joensuu, Finland (Leah Narans). As part of the reciprocal exchange, each Madison College faculty member will stay with their reciprocal ICISP exchange partner this May This program is designed to foster cooperation and partnership at program and department levels, enhance the global awareness of participating faculty, administrators and staff, and build on ICISP consortium partnerships to increase opportunities for international learning. Madison College agrees to pay for airfare and ICISP placement fees related to this exchange. Exchange partners assume the costs for food and lodging of their guests for the duration of the exchange. This results in a cost effective way to enhance faculty international development and encourage lasting peer-to-peer partnerships among exchange participants. RECOMMENDATION: The President recommends approval of this international travel. 34
