As a result of the growth in the international student population, an ESL instructor was hired in the summer of 2010, with another staff member assigned academic advising responsibilities, bringing the total advisement staff to three in the Center For Global Education. Extra writing tutoring/editing services are available to all international students. Student Affairs also supports the efforts of the Global Education Office by providing special housing services, student events, and transportation services. A second ESL instructor was added in July 2011 to provide additional language support. In the summer of 2011, the College committed resources to support international students whose scores fell short of admissions standards. A non-credit bearing English as a Second Language (ESL) program was piloted for students whose scores did not meet the undergraduate program requirements (5.0 IELTS or 500 TOEFL paper-based/50 internet-based score) or the admissions standards for the Master of Science in Management: International Business program (5.5 IELTS or 525 TOEFL paper-based/69 internet-based score). For these undergraduate students who tested in the 4.5 IELTS band and graduate students who tested in the 5.0 IELTS band, the Summer ESL Institute was designed to provide pre-admission instruction in English language and culture, to ease the transition to a new country and education system, to acquaint the participants with American culture, and to establish relationships with other international students before the semester begins http://international.keuka.edu/english-as-a-second-languageesl/. The 6-week program provides intensive instruction in academic listening, speaking, reading, vocabulary development, and writing. For its initial offering in summer 2011, 23 international students participated, all of whom completed the program and enrolled in the fall 2011 semester. Undergraduate students in the ESL Summer Institute program performed quite favorably in their overall GPA for Fall 2011 coursework as did the graduate students who participated in the ESL Summer Institute.

students with the skills and strategies needed to meet the academic demands of their courses in a U.S. institution of higher education. Offered in both the fall and spring semesters, ENG 201 focuses on success strategies, research skills, and appropriate documentation, and extensive reading/writing activities. --Library Services Lightner Library is an integral and dynamic part of Keuka College academic support services. Its mission is to promote life-long learning for students by providing the resources and services that meet their information needs. As the intellectual center of the College, the Lightner Library strives to create the optimal environment for study, research, and scholarship. The Library’s Mission Statement notes that the Library seeks to “Provide services and innovative technologies that will empower students in the 21 st century.” Today’s students expect 24/7 access to library services and resources. Lightner provides access to resources in a variety of formats that support academic programs both on and off campus. They include: Books, both print and electronic A variety of multi-disciplinary and subject-specific online databases that contain literally thousands of articles, many of which are full text A collection of print and electronic journals CDs, DVDs, , and videos A collection of streaming videos LibGuides, http://libguides.keuka.edu/index.php, portals to high quality research information Access to library services is also important, and many are just a click away: In person at the reference desk (56 hours of coverage Monday through Friday) Via telephone Through email at the Ask a Librarian link on the library’s home page or using the refhelp email address, refhelp@keuka.edu Library instruction for both ASAP cohorts and traditional classes can be scheduled by faculty working with librarians to arrange library instruction sessions, and bibliographic instruction is routinely provided to all traditional students in their ENG 110 and ENG 112 courses. In 2007, a librarian was hired to be dedicated to the needs of ASAP students. The ASAP librarian travels to the off-campus locations and provides instruction to cohorts in Social Work, Criminal Justice, Nursing, and Management on improving research skills, using on-line information resources available through the Lightner Library, avoiding plagiarism, and employing APA style. The Library conducts ongoing assessment of their services and uses the information to improve library services and library instruction. (Appendix 5.18 Lightner Library Annual Report 2010- 2011). Ongoing assessment of the adequacy of library hours: Through student surveys and continued monitoring of library usage patterns, Lightner now remains open until 12 am three nights a week and remains open for extended hours for the two weeks prior to finals Page 23 of 39 Chapter 5: Admissions, Retention & Support
