One-Page Executive Summary: <strong>2011</strong> SPOC <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
Introduction. Each year KCC‟s faculty, administrators, and supportive staff work hard to support successful student<br />
outcomes. We now have a process in place to document key activities of the faculty/staff committees. The process<br />
includes committee members: 1. reviewing KCC‟s scorecards and accreditation materials to determine areas of<br />
greatest need; and 2. submitting an annual plan, a mid-term report, and an end-of-term report with recommendations<br />
for the following year‟s committee. The results are reported in the following pages.<br />
