Brunswick Community College President W. Michael Reaves is look ing 10 1992 wilh "cautious opti mism". Reaves says he and fellow staff members arc excited ahoul an in crease in student cnryllmcni, p!i?n ning for new programs and scheduled completion this fall of a 1.500-seat auditorium on campus. If funds aren't forthcoming to ac commodate that grow th, however, he said the college faces the prospect of having to downsi/e its entire opera tion. "It's a catch-22 situation," he said. "Whether the growth funds will Ik there for us bothers me. From an eco nomic standpoint I don't think we'll be better oil next year than this year ? but it is an election year." Growth is exciting and needed for the tut uii' of the college. However, more students creates the need for more money, more personnel and more space. "Wt can't get away from the issue of funding," he said. "We've ab sorbed all we can. Our staff is wear ing as many hats as we can now." BCC experienced the largest fall and winter quarter enrollment in 1991 it has seen in several years, and plans a big push to increase spring quarter enrollment as well. Enrollment generates much-nccdcd FTEs or full-time equivalent stu dents, the basis for pan of its state funding. Reaves hopes essential state and local funding will be forthcoming, though state funding last year didn't keep pace with growth and BCC's al location from the county was slightly smaller than the previous year. The new Odcil Williamson audito iiuiii vv ill require some local start up money for operation in addition to an endowment by its namesake that helps cover management costs. "It will be interesting to see what wc can do at the local level," he said. "tf ii,.- H- ?< "~N.I Uk <1 VV v. UV U JsNAlU jv;u Kill* 1 1 IV.VI U IV needs, at some time the funding Aill be there. It may not be when you first want it, but it will be there." Money spent by the stale or county is "an investment in its people," he said, not simply an expense.

Funding was in shon supply at a lime the community college system has increased demands on it to provide vocauonal training and retraining. "Slate funds were up a little, but there were no pay raises. And with enrollment increased. stalT was earn - ing additional responsibilities. Morale was like a roller coastcr." The pace isn't likely to slow in 1992, though some help may be in line. Reaves thinks stall will appreciate some of the projects in place: a per sonnel/job classification study by Griffith & Associates to pinpoint em ployees' responsibilities and to make sure they arc paid for the jobs they are actually doing, and changeovcr to a more objective approach to evalua tion, one tailored more to job perfor mance. To help get the work done, the col lege is looking to fill several vacant posts and hire additional full-time in structor. for curriculum programs. It now has 20, plus a "host" of part time instructors. With the new year, the college plans to advertise to fill the dean of continuing education position, which has been vacant since the death of the previous dean, Jesse Clcmmons, ap proximately ! 5 months ago A search committee will also be appointed to select a new resources development officer from the close to 2(X) applicants for the job previously held by Vicki Spencer.

Reaves said BCC will pursue ef forts to more fully utilize the Southport campus, burning ;in old building there during January', letting a contract for heating and air condi tioning of a portion of the classrooms and proceeding with an "Adopt-A C'assroom" project in which local businesses and others can sponsor renovation of a room in their name. "We have gotten such a good re sponses from area businesses we feel like we won't have any problem at all getting those done when the time comes," said Reaves. While no additional construction is planned on either campus, Boney & Associates Architects of Wilmington will be completing a five-year master plan for the main campus north of Supply. liiai plan will accommodate pro '92 With autiou urarrsn RCC horjc?. !n c/v* nut in nl-wc ww "vpw ~ ? I r over ihc next few years, including an allied health building. That building would be designed to accommodate allied health pro grams BCC hopes to add to its cur riculum over the next several years, with the state's approval. Need for the courses has been identified by a regional consortium affiliated with the Area Health Education Center. BCC has been targeted as the most appropriate campus to provide train ing in medical records technology, occupational therapy and respiratory therapy. Member schools of the consortium (BCC, Southeastern, Cape Fear and James Sprunt) would take turns pro viding a one-quarter certification course in phlebotomy. BCC plans a feasibility studies for these courses along with the pro posed upgrading its one -year practi cal licensed nursing program to a two-year, associate-degree registered nurse program. A feasibility study has been com pleted for its top priority in curricu lum development: recreational grounds management technology. This month BCC is surveying Bruns wick County high school students to identify interest in the program. It also intends to hire in the near future a head for the planned depart ment, someone with either a turf or anil nmfrggional ^'"'kL'nv.iru! o r ? u-vm^vu'iw. Before proceeding further with an application for a federal Economic Development Administration grant, BCC also plans to complete a feasi bility study regarding an aquaculturc program. It may contract die study out to The Marine Crescent. To beef up the college's llagging literacy program, Anna White, acting literacy program director, will incor porate a new competency-based ap proach into the Adult Basic Education curriculum. She is one of 10 certified CAS AS trainers in the state. In a cooperative cITort with the lo cai schools, BCC also expects to see a full-fledged "Prep Tech" program in placc by this fall. Tech Prep is a program developed to prepare high school .students to enter associate de gree courses of study without requir ing remediation and with a firm aca demic and technological foundation. High school students interested in four-year college educations arc get ting a head sum with a contractual ar rangement between BCC and West Brunswick High School, where a group of students is taking one class each during winter and spring quarter for college credit with transcripts from the University of North Caro lina at Wilmington and Brunswick Community College. Its the kind of flexibility Reaves Optimism' hopes BCC can expand on in future months. The collcgc already offers some courses via satellite hook-up and through an agreement with North Carol ina Public Television Membership in CAPE, the region al Consortium for the Advancement of Public Education, will offer addi tional new options. The long-distance learning project links UNC-W with area schools for relay of classroom instruction. "1 understand we're in line next year for fiber optics," Reaves said in a pre-Christmas interview. In addition to eyeing new pro giants, DCC will also begin taking an in-depth look at existing offerings through a fomial system of program review that will take three years to complete for all program areas, said Gerry Shaver, director of planning. Using inside and ouusidc sources of infumiaiion, BCC will examine each program, identifying strengths and weaknesses, come up with rec ommendations for improvement and devise a plan for making those im provements. First to be reviewed w ill be the business administration, ad ministration office technology and general office technology curricula. "We've got a lot of work to do, a tremendous amount," said Reaves. "It makes for an interesting work day."
