Table 8 lists the comments respondents made after being asked what Classified Senate can do to get them to participate in more Classified Senate events. Table 8. Respondents’ Suggestions of Things Classified Senate Can Do to Get Them to Participate in More Classified Senate Events. Suggestions to Get Individuals More Involved in Classified Senate Events 1. ADD IN A NEW EVENT EACH YEAR; MAYBE ROTATE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF EVENTS. IT’S NICE TO DO SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT SOMETIMES. 2. BRING SOME OF THEM TO THE CHINO CAMPUS 3. COLLABORATE WITH EXISTING PROGRAMS AND EVENTS ON CAMPUS – INCREASE VISIBILITY, PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATIONS. 4. CONTINUE TO HAVE THE FULL SUPPORT OF ADMINISTRATION (NOT JUST THE DISTRICT LIKE PRESIDENT AND BOARD SUPPORT BUT ALSO FULL SUPPORT FROM THE IMMEDIATE SUPERVISORS LIKE DIRECTORS AND SUPERVISORS) WHEN THESE EVENTS ARE ADVERTISED FOR OUR PARTICIPATION. 5. DEMONSTRATE THAT THE EVENT IS MEANINGFUL. 6. ENCOURAGE MANAGERS TO SUPPORT US. 7. EXPLAIN THE POINT OF THE EVENT AND HOW IT SUPPORTS SENATE’S MISSION 8. HAVE SOME EVENTS ON FRIDAYS WHEN THE ADMIN. BLDG. SHUTS DOWN AFTER 2PM. 9. HAVE THEM MORE ORGANIZED. I WANTED TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASSIFIED SENATE APPRECIATION WEEK BUT THE TIMES AND ACTIVITIES WERE NOT NAILED DOWN UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE. 10. HAVING EVENTS THAT ARE NOT DURING PEAK TIMES SO THAT WE CAN PARTICIPATE. 11. I ALREADY PARTICIPATE IN ALL OF THE EVENTS AS MY WORK SCHEDULE WILL ALLOW. 12. I AM HEAVILY INVOLVED IN CS EVENTS. 13. I ENJOYED ALL THE EVENTS AND WILL CONTINUE TO PARTICIPATE. IT’S A GREAT RELEASE FROM DAY TO DAY OFFICE LIFE. 14. I PARTICIPATE IN MOST. 15. I’M NOT SURE WHAT KIND OF ‘EVENTS’ YOU NEED TO PROMOTE SHARED GOVERNANCE. AS FAR AS WORKING COLLABERATIVELY TO PROMOTE STUDENT SUCCESS…PERHAPS WE CAN SEE THE SENATE MORE VISIBLE IN SOME OF THE DRIVES THAT AFFECT OUR STUDENTS DIRECTLY (I.E, THE FOOD PANTRY; NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION NIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FALL TERM; VISIBILITY AT THE PAWS BOOTH, MINI BOOK GRANTS, ETC.) 16. IS THERE RELEASE TIME TO HELP IN EVENTS? IF SO, YOU COULD MAKE IT MORE CLEAR TO STAFF SO THEY CAN LET THEIR SUPERVISOR KNOW. IT’S DIFFICULT TO FLEX TIME TO HELP. 17. JUST LET ME KNOW AHEAD OF TIME 18. MAKE IT WORTH MY TIME 19. MAKE THE EVENTS UPLIFTING AND ENERGETIC. HOW ABOUT HIRING A LOCAL COMEDIAN TO HELP CLASSIFIED STAFF LAUGH? HOW ABOUT A COOKING CLASS? HOW ABOUT A FASHION SHOW? HOW ABOUT HIRING A COUNSELOR TO TALK TO US ABOUT DEALING WITH STRESS IN A GROUP SESSION? 20. MAKE THEM RELEVANT… 21. MAYBE NOT MAKE THE EVENTS TOO LONG AND CONTINUE TO GET SUPPORT OF THE ADMINISTRATORS TO HAVE MY BOSS GIVE ME PERMISSION TO PARTICIPATE. 8
22. NOT MUCH. 23. NOT SURE 24. NOT SURE. 25. NOTHING, I SIMPLY MUST PUT MORE REMINDERS ON MY CALENDAR SO I CAN STOP MISSING DEADLINES FOR ACTIVITIES. 26. NOTHING, LACK OF TIME IS USUALLY THE REASON WHY I DON’T PARTICIPATE IN MORE EVENTS. 27. OFFER MORE FOOD. 28. OFFER MORE INTERESTING OPTIONS. 29. PROVIDE MORE EVENTS THAT HELP THE STUDENTS “ACHIEVE AN EXCELLENT EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE”. THIS COULD MEAN THAT WE PROVIDE MORE TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES OR MORE SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES. 30. SOME OF THE EVENTS DON’T EXTEND TO THE FONTANA CAMPUS, AND NOT ALL EMPLOYEES HAVE THE TIME TO COMMUTE TO RANCHO TO PARTICIPATE. 31. SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT ABLE TO PARTICIPATE BECAUSE OF THE WORK LOAD THAT IS TAKEN DUE TO SHORT STAFF 32. YOU HAVE BEEN DOING GREAT SO FAR. I WOULDN’T CHANGE WHAT YOU ARE ALREADY DOING. PERHAPS IT WILL BE USEFUL IF YOU COULD GET THOSE WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK IN WRITING ABOUT HOW BENEFICIAL AND/OR USEFUL IT HAS BEEN FOR THEM TO ATTEND A SPECIFIC MEETING, WORKSHOP OR CONFERENCE. Table 9 lists the comments respondents made after being asked what suggestions or themes they would like to see incorporated into future Classified Senate events. Table 9. Respondents’ Suggestions of Topics or Themes to Incorporate in Future Classified Senate Events. Suggestions or Themes to Incorporate in Future Classified Senate Events 1. A SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU FIND OUT WHY INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT ATTENDING THE MEETINGS OR MORE IMPORTANTLY IF THEY ARE RECEIVING AND/OR READING THE INFORMATION YOU SENT. READING OUT TO OTHER IS CRUCIAL RIGHT NOW. 2. EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DO IS GREAT. 3. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE COLLABORATIONS. IN MY OWN AREA, ALL REQUESTS FOR CLASSIFIED SENATE TO CO-SPONSOR AND/OR PARTICIPATE HAVE RESULTED IN NOTHING BUT “NO’S”. 4. LET’S BRING BACK THE CRAFT FAIR AND/OR A FARMER’S MARKET. 5. MAKE THE EVENTS UPLIFTING AND ENERGETIC. HOW ABOUT HIRING A LOCAL COMEDIAN TO HELP CLASSIFIED STAFF LAUGH? HOW ABOUT A COOKING CLASS? HOW ABOUT A FASHION SHOW? HOW ABOUT HIRING A COUNSELOR TO TALK TO US ABOUT DEALING WITH STRESS IN A GROUP SESSION? 6. MAYBE A STRESS FREE WORKSHOP MORE MASSAGES! 7. MORE PARTICIPATION/INTERACTION AMONG DEPARTMENTS. 8. NONE 9. NONE AT THIS TIME 9
