[SADivision 0148] 2014 Student Experience Survey
by Jennifer Jarvis 24 Nov '14

24 Nov '14

Sharing: Dear Colleagues: The results of the 2014 CUNY-wide Undergraduate Student Experience Survey are now available at the OIRA website at the link below. The tabulations show the results for each college in a format that facilitates comparison among colleges. The survey results include information on socioeconomic background, household composition, perceptions of class size, use of time, access to technology, course availability, satisfaction with student services, work activity, and transfer. The results are based on responses from more than 22,000 students. Each IR director will receive the data for his or her college next week. Note also that results from earlier student experience surveys are also available at the same site. Since many of the same questions have been asked over the years, some trend analysis is possible, though caution is necessary because of some changes in question wording, response formats, and sampling methodology. http://www.cuny.edu/about/administration/offices/ira/ir/surveys/student/SES… .

Having trouble viewing this email? Click here <http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?ca=98317802-9970-4af7-a370-c…> [QC Banner] >From President Félix V. Matos Rodríguez: The City University of New York and Queens College are dedicated to maintaining an inclusive work and learning environment; and I write to strongly reaffirm Queens College's commitment, and my own commitment, to the principles of affirmative action, equal opportunity, and diversity. It is the policy of The City University of New York and Queens College to recruit, employ, retain, promote, and provide benefits to employees and to admit and provide services for students without regard to race, color, creed, national origin, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, legally registered domestic partnership status, disability, predisposing genetic characteristics, alienage, citizenship, military or veteran status, or status as a victim of domestic violence. Sexual harassment, a form of sex discrimination, is also prohibited. Most recently, unemployment status was added as a protected category. The City University of New York as a public university system adheres to federal, state, and city laws and regulations regarding non-discrimination and affirmative action including, among others, Section 1324b of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA); Executive Order 11246, as amended; Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972; Sections 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended; Section 402 of the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended; the Equal Pay Act of 1963; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended; the Age Discrimination Act of 1975; the New York State Human Rights Law; and the New York City Human Rights Law. The "protected classes," as delineated in Executive Order 11246: (i.e. Black, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaskan Native and Women), were expanded on December 9, 1976 by the Chancellor of The City University of New York to include Italian-Americans. The U.S. Office of Management and Budget further expanded these protected classes in 2006 to include two or more races (not Hispanic or Latino) and replaced Asian/Pacific Islander with Asian (not Hispanic or Latino) and Native Hawaiian (not Hispanic or Latino). Black was renamed as Black or African American (not Hispanic or Latino), and Hispanic was renamed Hispanic or Latino. I have assigned the responsibility for the implementation and monitoring of our compliance program to the Chief Diversity Officer, Cynthia W. Rountree, Esq., who will also serve as the 504/ADA Coordinator and Title IX Coordinator. The vice presidents, deans, directors, managers, and supervisors share responsibility for ensuring our compliance with these policies and laws. The Office of Compliance and Diversity Programs is located in Kiely Hall 147, and the telephone number is 718-997-5888. I look forward to your energetic involvement in the affirmative/diversity programs, and thank you for your assistance and support as we continue in our efforts. [City University of New York logo]

[SADivision 0143] CUNY Campaign for Voluntary Charitable Giving
by Adam Rockman 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

Dear Student Affairs Staff Member: Last week you received the email below from President Matos Rodríguez asking you to contribute to the CUNY Campaign. Today, I am writing to make a personal plea to everyone in the Student Affairs family. Most of us already donate to various charitable organizations, so why not make it even easier and have donations to your favorite charities made directly from your paycheck? For many years I have been doing this and I know the charities are getting the money I designate to them as I get a thank you letter from the charities each year. Won’t you consider doing this as well? Whether you want the donations taken from your paycheck or to donate a one-time amount to your favorite organizations, you can set it up via the CUNY Campaign secure website at http://cuny.edu/site/campaign/donate.html If you don’t want to do this on the secure website, you can complete a paper donation form in the Human Resources Department (163 Kiely Hall). Every little bit helps; no donation is too small! In addition to your favorite charitable organizations, I would like to suggest that you and your colleagues consider contributing to the Queens College Foundation. As you know, many of our current and potential students have great difficulty paying for Queens College. Our contributions to the Queens College Foundation will go directly to support scholarships for our students. Please feel free to contact Reinalda Medina (HR), Maria Fosco (the fundraising Captain for the Student Affairs Division), or me if you have any questions. Thank you very much for your consideration! Sincerely, Adam [Description: Queens College]<http://www.qc.cuny.edu/> Adam L.

Matos Rodríguez: CUNY Campaign for Voluntary Charitable Giving The Power of One Person Making One Pledge The CUNY Campaign for Voluntary Charitable Giving is one of our community's finest traditions. It is the time each year when the entire University comes together to address critical health, human, and environmental challenges facing our city and our world. At a time when social challenges can seem overwhelming, your donation to the CUNY Campaign counts more than ever. The Power of One-the power of one person making one pledge to help others-is an extraordinary power that we all have. There are hundreds of charitable organizations that the CUNY Campaign has helped over the years and to which you can target your donation, including those that provide food and shelter to the less fortunate, perform cutting-edge research on our more vexing diseases, as well as our own Queens College Foundation which provides scholarships to our hard-working students. How You Can Help Our campus uses an environment-friendly, web-based format to accept donations. On that website-http://cuny.edu/site/campaign/donate.html<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0011cvrrhQPbe3rWkWjl8W-oZB_lpuXVgwi45bsKeipOg-3…>-you will find a list of participating organizations and a donation form. If you are more comfortable with the paper format, booklets are available through the Office of Human Resources (Kiely Hall 163). Signing up for the payroll deduction option makes giving easier as your gift will be taken out of your paycheck in small deductions throughout the year-small deductions that will add up to great benefits for many people. And if you sign up by Friday, December 5, you will be eligible to win an Apple iPad. The Queens Team Making a Difference I know our contributions make a difference, and that together we can help promote positive and lasting changes in people's lives and our communities. Reinalda Medina, our Assistant Vice President of Human Resources and Administrative Services, has volunteered to spearhead Queens College's participation in the 2014 CUNY Charitable Giving Campaign. Reinalda has put together a team of dedicated individuals from across the campus community to serve as captains. They are: Molash Alemayehu, Division of Mathematics and Natural Sciences Paul Dubois, Division of Arts and Humanities Carol Douglas, Division of Social Sciences Maria Fosco, Division of Student Affairs Kim McCants, Division of Education Sandra Mew, Office of the Provost Tanya Ross, Division of Finance and Administration Mary Aboki, Office of Human Resources and Administrative Services.

[SADivision 0140] Registration for Winter and Spring 2015
by Jennifer Jarvis 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Sharing, The attached registration schedule was sent to the Divisional Deans and the Office of the Provost for their review. Please note that the dates indicated are start dates and student enrollment continues until the beginning of each semester/session. In addition, you recently received an email from Joyce Kong regarding the scheduling period for Winter/Spring 2015 (Sept 29th - Fri, Oct 10th ). As your schedules are being created, please review the setup of functions such as instructor assignment access, waitlist limits, and class permissions. Set correctly, this will reduce the number of issues both departments and students face during the registration and grading period. If you need any assistance in reviewing the setup please let us know. The Registrar's Office plans to term activate (rollover) the Winter and Spring terms and begin assigning enrollment appointments today. Our goal is to allow students the opportunity to plan their schedules several weeks prior to the beginning of registration. You will soon see the Spring 15 semester indicated on students records. (winter is part of spring so there is no separate winter session indicated) In addition, I have attached the campus contingency plan. This plan was created by the Enrollment Management team with detailed instructions for faculty and staff in the event that CUNYfirst is unavailable during the registration period. Please review and share with your staff. As always, if you have any questions or concerns please let us know. -Matt Matthew Casanova Director, Office of the Registrar Queens College, CUNY 1-718-997-4428
