Steps are currently underway to strengthen the relationship between the SSSprogram and the <strong>College</strong> OPTIONS program so that we can better collaborate withthe higher education partners on their Governing Board.Resource Efficiency1. SupportSSS receives support from a variety of <strong>Shasta</strong> <strong>College</strong> departments includingAcademic Deans, Enrollment/Admissions, Business Office, InformationTechnology, Human Resources, Enrollment <strong>Services</strong>, EWD, Financial Aid, <strong>Student</strong><strong>Services</strong> Vice President and Deans, Campus Safety, Food <strong>Services</strong>, Print Shop,Marketing, Physical Plant, Transportation, EOPS/DSPS, and the Bookstore.All offices at <strong>Shasta</strong> <strong>College</strong> are responsive and helpful. Most of these offices arequick to respond and the support staff has excellent customer service skills. JohnMoore has been an exceptional resource for our programs through the provision oftransportation for college trips and through the physical office moves thattranspired in Fall 2009.2. Use of TechnologyOffice staff uses computers for daily work such as e-mail, word processing,spreadsheets, databases, scheduling appointments, and presentations. There aretwo communal printers for large jobs and for color printing. Staff also uses aProxima projector for student/parent activities, Financial Aid presentations andevening events. In addition, technology equipment such as computers, printersand cameras have been purchased with federal funds to support work at ourpartner schools. In these instances, equipment is assigned a <strong>Shasta</strong> <strong>College</strong>inventory number and a record of all equipment is kept by Kathy Miller at the<strong>Shasta</strong> <strong>College</strong> GU/TRiO office. The SSS program uses Blumen as their primarydatabase for tracking program services. A plan for ensuring that support staff isfully trained on the Blumen system needs to be established.3. Comparison with Other InstitutionsThe SSS program is comparable in size and scope to other SSS programsnationally and in the region. Allocations per participant are set by the Departmentof Education so budgets are also comparable. However, graduation, transfer andretention rates exceed the regional and national norm.4.
