17. Admissions Request Budget Request For 2008-09 Coordinator of Admissions Processing $37,800Enhance Accessibility The dire need exists for this position because of the substantial increases in student applications, acceptances, and enrollments. For example, at Recruiting Week #42 in 2000, the Admissions Office processed 3,595 total applications. Comparatively, at Recruiting Week #42 in 2007, a total of 6,986 applications were processed. This increase is almost double the total number of processed applications in 7 years. During this same period of time, we have experienced 7 record setting student enrollment terms consecutively except in the fall 2005. We have addressed the tremendous increase by implementing some technology upgrades, but our response time to prospective applicants is lengthening because of the overwhelming numbers.

24. Orientation MOCS Camp: 64 Participants – 38 Female – 26 Male MOCS Camp is a new initiative that we will develop to connect new students with a peer group prior to arriving on campus in August. We will track the retention and success rates of the participants to document the direct effect of this experience. A total of 75 students will participate in the summer 2008 program.

25. Orientation Budget Request Orientation Staffing Support The Orientation Program is currently support by two staff members providing .25 time each to the program. Given the importance of the transition programs for all new students on a year-round basis, we can greatly strengthen our range and quality of services in partnership with academic departments and other areas across campus by creating a full-time position with the primary focus of building smooth and effective transition services for new UTC students, and providing students who need to step away from school with a single resource point to facilitate their compliant separation from UTC and an easy return when they are ready to continue their studies.

26. Dean of Students Judicial Affairs In 2001 the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga opened up a 1,500 bed residential facility on campus, increasing the on-campus student population to 2,800 students. Because of this growth in on-campus students, the Dean of Students Office has seen a significant increase in judicial cases. This increase in judicial cases has also created a need for a proactive educational approach in conjunction with a remedial approach. UTC internal data, Clery data, and TBI data also indicate a need for a professional dedicated to judicial affairs. Since 2003 the number of students and incidents handled on our campus has increased significantly. When comparing data with other public universities of our size, we are experiencing a larger number of drug/narcotic violations with a smaller staff to respond to these incidents. Judicial Numbers at UTC from 2005 - Present Judicial Staffing Comparisons UTK 2 professionals, 4 Graduate Assistants, 2 admin.

33. Dean of Students Partnerships For Diversity Office of Multicultural Affairs – Women’s Center Partnership We are positioned to make a significant step in strengthening our institutional commitment to foster a campus environment and a quality of life for our students around the topics of a diverse and multicultural living-learning community through the completion of the Multicultural Center and Women’s Center project. This concept has been in the works for a number of years and we are now prepared to move ahead with this exciting initiative. Proposal: Renovate the third floor area of the UC (the old student organization room) to establish a Multicultural Office and a Women’s Center. These offices will serve as focal points for the development of programs and services directed to helping make UTC a community that celebrates and embraces diversity and multiculturalism on very broad terms. The partnership will facilitate educational and social programming for our students and campus, and link with campus departments, community and regional groups, services, and agencies to build a comprehensive program that supports this effort. Through our partnerships, we envision the programs and services will address topics of race, gender, GLBT, and international issues, and engage our students and community in critical conversations and actions to build on our existing institutional commitment to diversity.

Early-morning, late-night, and weekend access to the facility is necessary to support the range of activities, programs, and services that students utilize on a regular basis. Dining Services, the UTC Bookstore, and the Computer Lab draw a constant flow of patrons through the UC during all hours of operation.

37. University Center On average, the University Center hosts eight events per night from 5:00 – 10:00 p.m. The current staffing level only allows for student workers to provide evening and weekend coverage. Without a professional staff on duty during the evening and weekend hours there is no one to assist these groups and to help expand student programming for extended programming options. Full-time staff coverage for evening and weekend hours of operation is also a safety and security concern that this position will provide, and this is a primary need for the safety of patrons and the security of the facility. Organizations that request the facility after hours are charged a $15/hour fee to fund additional student staff. If this position is funded, the department will be able to offset these charges by flex scheduling this position. Current hours of operation for the facility are: Monday – Thursday 7:00 am – 10:00 pm Friday 7:00 am – 8:30 pm Saturday 10:00 am – 8:15 pm Sunday 10:00 am – 10:00 pm Of the 96 hours of total operation 46 of those are afterhours and weekend when staff are not in the building. The chart depicts the UC Hours of Operation.

But many new and experimental programs are also scheduled yearly, particularly under the auspices of the Association for Campus Entertainment, and a highly diversified program gives the individual student many choices of interests and activities. The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga currently has 146 student organizations. These organizations fall within the following categories: SGA, Student Media Organizations, Major Campus Organizations, Service Organizations, Fraternities and Sororities, Departmental And Interest Clubs, and Religious Organizations.
