Strategic Bold Steps and Goals for 2013
At the Board’s extended meeting, the Board will have the opportunity to consider a set of draft
bold steps and goals for the new calendar year. This draft was shared at an all-college meeting
on Jan. 11 with the understanding that the board would further discuss them at the upcoming
meeting. The draft is included with this report.
Higher Learning Commission Accreditation Process
Also at the recent all-college meeting, Dr. Ryan McCall, Vice President of Academic Aairs, and
a team of faculty and sta involved in the newly formed accreditation commiee, provided an
overview of the Higher Learning Commission’s new criteria for accreditation and the Open
Pathway model of accreditation. An important aspect of this accreditation model is the college’s
involvement and work on a “Quality Initiative.” You will note in the draft 2013 goals that our
initial thought is to propose a quality initiative related to student success. The alignment of
this important initiative to an anticipated state requirement of a “completion plan,” and a new
state funding formula rewarding completion will allow the institution to concentrate signicant
collective eort toward helping our students meet their educational goals.
Annual Ethics Financial Disclosure Statement
College trustees are annually required to submit a nancial disclosure statement to the Ohio
Ethics Commission. The enclosed form may be led directly with the Ohio Ethics Commission
before April 15, 2013. The college will remit the required fee.

Ohio Means Internships & Co-ops Grant Received
Southern State was awarded a new grant, Ohio Means Partnerships & Co-ops, in
partnership with several other partners, including career centers and higher education
institutions (see aached leer). The purpose of the grant is to increase the opportunity
for internships and co-ops for students in our region. The total amount of the grant is
$236,450. Karen Davis, Interim Dean of Technical Studies, was the lead person for Southern
State in this process.
Faculty Announcements
Faculty Member Presents at AMS Conference
Jon Davidson, Assistant Professor and Division Coordinator of Physical Science, recently
presented at the American Mathematical Society (AMS) national conference. The
conference is aended by 6,000 to 7,000 mathematicians. Mr. Davidson presented his
research—“Hidden Treasures in 2x2 Linear Systems/Applications of Non-Orthonormal
Coordinate Systems”—in a session titled, “Innovative and Eective Ideas in Teaching
Linear Algebra.” A hearty congratulations goes to Mr. Davidson for being selected to
present at this national conference.
SOCHE Faculty Excellence in Teaching Awards
The Southwestern Ohio Council for Higher Education (SOCHE) hosted its annual
banquet honoring excellence in teaching. SOCHE member institutions are requested to
3
President’s Report to the Board of Trustees Alignment with the Strategic Goals
submit names of faculty members who demonstrate excellence in teaching throughout
the past academic year. This year, Southern State is proud to have three faculty members
receive the Faculty Excellence in Teaching Awards. Those individuals are: Chyane Collins,
Assistant Professor and Director of Respiratory Care; Ken Holliday, Assistant Professor
and Division Coordinator of Arts and Humanities; and Dr. David Garippa, Instructor.
Workforce Development and Community Services
Truck Driving Academy
November’s enrollment was down slightly compared to last year; however, the December
enrollment of 15 is a notable increase over the six and four of the previous two Decembers.
New partnerships continue to be sought to boost enrollment. John Joy, Dean of Workforce
Development and Community Services, aended a regional LiftEd meeting at Miami
Valley Career Center where Barbara Wagner, Director of Adult Education, requested a
meeting to discuss a CDL training partnership in Greene County. It was to be scheduled
for early January.
The customized training for Warren County Career Center to oer straight truck training
for its Lineman Technician program continues. The second group of students completed
their training in November and the partnership has been well received by the students
and sta at WCCC. The additional revenue has met expectations, and has proven to
be of value in the department’s improved nancial performance in recent months.
Discussions are under way with both Pickaway Ross Career and Technology Center and
Scioto County Career and Technical Center to oer similar customized training to them
in the fall of 2013.
The information session at the Strategic Training Center in South Point on Nov. 8 was
a big success, with about 20 potential students aending. Eight students started CDL
training at South Point on Dec. 10. An information session, open to the public Dec. 11 at
the Delaware Career Center, was not as well aended, but there was enough interest to
indicate the rst class for Delaware County will be Jan. 22 or Feb. 4.
John Joy and Training Manager Eddie Mullins met with Jane Dunigan, Business Manager
of Cincinnati State Workforce Development Center, at CS’s new Middletown branch
campus on Dec. 18 to discuss oering CDL training at that location to serve residents of
Butler County.
Workforce Development
The proposal submied to PAS Technologies in Hillsboro last October resulted in a plant
tour on Nov. 14. Tommy Collingsworth, Adjunct Faculty at SSCC’s Fayee Campus,
accompanied John Joy on the tour. The discussion that followed indicated that PAS will
begin supervisory skills training in January.

Continuing Education & Departmental Notes
The Dental Assistant program, oered in partnership with Boston Reed College, continues.
The information session held Dec. 12 for Boston Reed classes—which were planned to start
in January 2013—was a huge success. More than 30 people aended, with 19 completing
forms indicating their interest in one of the Boston Reed classes. The turnout indicates the
interest and demand for short-term, low-cost training that will provide individuals with
basic skills and a clear path to entry-level employment in particular elds.
Eighteen participants completed free Connect Ohio computer classes in November, and
two completed the classes in December. In recognition of contributions to the Connect
Ohio eort over the past two years, six Lexmark printers were given to Southern State at
the regional meeting held Nov. 16 in Dayton. The printers will be used as door prizes to
incentivize Connect Ohio course completion in January.

Direct Mail Projects
Aordability – With emphasis on the cost of education and the value students experience
by choosing Southern State, a direct mail yer will be sent to nearly 4500 seniors in our
surrounding area. Leveraging the previous awareness mailing that was sent to the same
target audience in the fall, highlights of this aordability piece include personalized
variable data, charts depicting the tuition gap between Southern State and our four-year
competition, as well as links to available scholarships. This mailing is expected to reach
households in late January.
Parent Mailing Following the student’s receipt of the aordability mailing (mid/late
February), the parents of those
seniors will also receive a direct
mail piece emphasizing many of
the same features but from the
perspective of being a parent. As
depicted in the image, the intent
is to acknowledge the challenges
parents sometimes experience
when coaching their teenager
to make decisions about college.
As part of the parent and the
student mailings, the call to action is to aend one of several Open House opportunities
5
President’s Report to the Board of Trustees Alignment with the Strategic Goals
where families can learn more about Southern State and get started on the application
process. Open House programming is being coordinated as a collaborative eort between
Student Services and Academics. The schedule for these activities is March 2 (South 9-11
a.m./Central 1-3 p.m.) and March 9 (Fayee 9-11 a.m./North 1-3 p.m.)
New Online Biweekly Newsletter
Designed as a biweekly online newsleer, The Connector is brimming with photos,
headlines, spot summaries, upcoming events and hyperlinks, and is delivered in a more
interactive format. Every two weeks, a link to the newest edition of The Connector will be
available to students, employees, and community partners. The inaugural edition was
distributed Jan. 15 and will be archived along with future editions at hp://www.sscc.
edu/newsleer/index.shtml.
Transfer Process
In collaboration with Academics, the collateral used to market the transfer process
is being re-envisioned. Using Southern State alumni as the focal point, the transfer
brochure and on-campus
kiosks are being overhauled
to present transferability in
a more streamlined fashion.
Rather than hosting individual
articulation and transfer
agreements among various
colleges and universities, we are
consolidating the information into a single brochure and directing students to the web for
more specic information. The image here represents the overall approach of positioning
Southern State alumni to be transfer spokespeople.
Foundation
Dayton Power & Light Company Foundation Grant
In late December 2012, the Southern State Foundation received notication that the DP&L
Foundation was awarding a $5,000 grant to advance the work done within the college. In
cooperation with the Southern State academic division, the nancial aid department, and
our colleagues within DP&L’s Generation Center in Manchester, these funds will be used
to recruit and retain students pursuing higher education through this unique partnership.
Consolidation of the Foundation Portfolio
Ocers of the Foundation Board met via conference call Dec. 7 to discuss the process
of consolidating the investment portfolio into a single investment entity. Currently the
Foundation’s nearly $1.9 million portfolio is split and managed by Fifth Third Bank
Securities and the National Bank and Trust, Trust Division. The process, including the
request for proposal and rm interviews will begin in the spring. Ideally, a rm would be
6
President’s Report to the Board of Trustees Alignment with the Strategic Goals
selected by the start of the new scal year. The Foundation has an established investment
policy which will be an integral part of the interview process along with the Foundation
Board’s interest in quality reporting and the prospective rm’s ability to employ diverse
investment instruments.
Student Affairs/Enrollment Management
Tutoring Services
Workshops
Computer Fundamentals workshops were held at the Fayee Campus on Dec. 17 and
at Central Campus on Dec. 19. Packets containing information about Microsoft Oce
programs were provided to all new students aending. Sixteen new students and four
tutors participated in this hands-on training to beer prepare them in creating documents
using Word, Excel, and Power Point programs.
Online Success (Blackboard 9) workshops were held at Central and Fayee campuses on
Dec. 18 for any student enrolled in an online class. Thirty-two students enrolled in at least
one online class and one tutor participated in a simulated online class to learn how to use
the navigational tools for successful completion of assignments and tests. The Tutoring
Center also addressed the challenges of online learning. Several students commented
afterwards that such an orientation should be mandatory before signing up for online
courses.
Tutor Training and Appreciation Luncheon
Nineteen tutors completed Level 1 training during three sessions conducted on Nov. 30,
Dec. 5, and Dec. 6. Other training sessions will begin in January to bring new tutors on
board or nish up current tutors who need to nish Level 1. Once a tutor has nished the
training and has conducted 25 hours of actual tutoring, the Tutoring Center will award
them Certied Tutor status. They will then have the opportunity to pursue two more
levels of certication.
Adjunct Meeting
Timothy Crowder, Workshop Facilitator and Adjunct Instructor, and Susan Long,
Coordinator of Tutoring Services, aended the adjunct orientation meeting on Dec. 1 and
conducted a session for instructors who teach College Success (Psychology 1108). The
new syllabus requires that instructors help students activate student accounts, emails,
Blackboard, and teach Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint skills. The adjuncts were
given an overview of the Tutoring Center’s Web Tutorials and the Computer Fundamentals
workshops. These sta members were invited to aend the Fayee workshop or work with
Mr. Crowder to set up a training session to prepare them for teaching the new curriculum.
Seven adjuncts teaching the College Success course aended the session.

President’s Report to the Board of Trustees Alignment with the Strategic Goals
First Week Activities
Tutoring sta manned tables at each campus on Jan. 7 and 8 to promote tutoring and
to direct students to the tutoring labs for web tutorials. Twenty students received web
tutorials and 73 tutor requests were received.
Susan Long, Kari Simpson (Mentor Tutor and Writing Lab Associate), Stephanie Bartley
(Tutoring Data Specialist) and Adam Foster (Peer Tutor) visited nine classes—six College
Success and three English—to promote tutoring and/or to assist students in activating
their student accounts located on the My SSCC portal. These class visits resulted in 54
more students receiving the web tutorials and an additional 43 students receiving a
Blackboard 9 orientation.
Career & Counseling Services
Conference Presentation
Tom Payton, Coordinator of Career and Counseling Services, aended the Mid-West
Glaser Institute Conference and presented on “Adapting Choice Theory and Reality
Therapy for Career Counseling.” The conference was held at the University of Detroit and
was well received. It demonstrated how career choice could be viewed through the lens of
William Glaser’s Choice Theory, dening career satisfaction as the ratio of what one wants
in a career versus what one is geing. The goal is to get the client to understand the ve
basic needs that motivate us—belonging, power, freedom, fun/enjoyment, and survival—
and see how they might be expressed for a given client in terms of career. Simply put we
are not concerned with what one wants to do but what one wants from a career.
Disability Services
Remote Interpreting Services (RIS)
With the assistance of Dennis Grith, Director of Information Technology, and Cathy Zile,
System Administrator, the Disability Services oce implemented Remote Interpreting
Services (RIS). Jamie Darling, Sta Interpreter, will be utilizing Collaborate and Instant
Messenger through the Blackboard platform to provide interpreting services remotely,
instead of relying on an agency interpreter to cover the assignment. This will be rst
time the college has provided services remotely. The cost savings of agency interpreting
services verses RIS is approximately $7,500 for the spring semester.
Mentor Agreement with Sinclair Community College
In the Fall Semester 2012, Jamie Darling added an agreement with Sinclair Community
College’s Interpreting Training Program to mentor their interpreting practicum students.
Interpreting students, with approval of the SSCC instructors and deaf students, are paired
with a working sta interpreter to “learn the ropes” of post-secondary interpreting. This
invaluable experience helps promote and support the interpreting profession and at
the same time creating a network between SSCC and other community colleges. Thus
8
President’s Report to the Board of Trustees Alignment with the Strategic Goals
far, Disability Services has supplied mentoring services for Ohio University Lancaster’s
Interpreter Training Program (ITP).
Advising & Retention Services
AmeriCorps
The AmeriCorps state audit was conducted Dec. 18 with 100-percent compliance. The
program at Southern State received rave reviews from the representative who commented
on the extensiveness of the training and the amount of participation the College
Completion Coaches have had with their community events (9/11 and Make a Dierence
Day). Southern State’s AmeriCorp College Completion Coaches are also leading the state
with the number of students who signed up to receive their services (150).
Nicole Ellio, College Completion Coach at South and Central campuses, was part of
a student panel that spoke and answered questions at the OCAN Student Success
Symposium on Dec. 14. She was one of ve individuals selected to be a part of the panel.
Kylena France, College Completion Coach at North and Central campuses, graduated
with her master’s degree in education with an emphasis in mental health counseling from
Lindsey Wilson College on Dec. 14.
Retention/Perkins
The Campus Performance Report was received from the state for FY12 with 100-percent
compliance, meeting all objectives but two (however, still in the 90-percent range of
meeting the goal).
Student Activities
Student Frequency Card
In order to encourage students to be more involved in campus life, Student Activities is
introducing a Student Frequency Card (SFC) program for spring semester. Students use
these cards to collect ocial stamps for aendance at designated events on each campus.
Once a student has received ve stamps on his or her card, that student may enter the
card in a grand prize drawing to be held at the end of the semester. Four lucky students
will win a Google Nexus 7 tablet. The designated activities are posted on the Southern
State website, and include athletic events, LRC talks, and special reduced-price bowling
nights for students and their families at Hillsboro’s Highland Lanes. Since studies show
that students who are more actively involved outside of the classroom have improved
retention rates over those who simply aend class and go home, this new program
supports Southern State’s strategic goals.
Men’s Soccer
Congratulations to Southern State men’s soccer player Michael Theobold for being named

13th in blocks per game. Congratulations to Brandon Whitlock for being named USCAA’s
Men’s Division I Basketball Player of the Week for Dec. 18.
Student Government Association
First Week Activities—SGA members manned a table in Central Campus’s lobby during
Tuesday and Wednesday of the rst week of the spring term to meet and greet new
students. A remote control car was used as an “aention geer” to draw students to SGA’s
table for conversations. “My SSCC Student Features” brochures were handed out to those
students who were interested in knowing how to connect to basic services, including
logging into their blackboard accounts, nding their ID numbers, and learning how to
access student email. On Wednesday, hot dogs were given out free of charge to students,
compliments of SGA.
Discount Card Sales—SGA Discount Cards, which fund the association’s annual student
scholarship, have been selling beer this year. The rst month has generated about 40
percent of the required sales to break even and cover the $500 scholarship. About 110
cards were sold during the rst month; 250 is the goal. All campus bookstores are carrying
the cards which helps students and employees access them.
SGA Student Growth—There are seven active SGA members. Their cumulative GPA is
3.67. Other noticeable achievements include one student informed me that during the
last national Student Government Conference he decided he needed to lose weight. That
was in July. He now reports having lost more than 30 pounds and is very motivated
to continue. Another student, whose wife had graduated from SSCC a few years ago,
and then passed away a few months later, informed SGA members that they are his
second family. He has gone from a deep depression to one of service and self-worth. He
is contemplating running for either Vice President or President this upcoming election.
10
President’s Report to the Board of Trustees Alignment with the Strategic Goals
He also thanked the advisor for giving him the courage to y for the rst time when he
aended the conference last July in Orlando. In addition, four of the seven active members
are due to graduate this year. Three of those four are looking into moving on to colleges
housed here (such as Franklin University, Ohio Christian University, Lindsey Wilson
College, etc.) so that they can continue in Student Government.
Human Resources
New Hire
Michelle Abreu has been hired as a full-time faculty member in Respiratory Care in the
Academic Aairs division. Her rst day teaching full time with Southern State was the
beginning of Spring Semester. Ms. Abreu’s experience includes working at other colleges
as an adjunct instructor, as well as working as a Respiratory Therapist for more than 12
years in the healthcare industry. She has an associate’s degree from Keering College of
Medical Arts and a bachelor’s degree from Franklin University.
Insurance Committee
As most are aware, insurance costs continue to rise and the Patient Protection and
Aordable Care Act (PPACA) poses new challenges in understanding and compliance,
which is all new territory for any employer. In order to tackle these issues head-on, the
Insurance Commiee engaged a third-party consultant, the Hylant Group, to evaluate
the college’s existing benet program. Starting in November, the Hylant Group assessed
the college’s benet programs considering plan design, claims experience, contribution
strategies, vendor services, competitor services, and wellness initiatives. After the analysis,
the Hylant Group presented the commiee with several recommendations that included
savings opportunities, funding options, renewal strategies, and an analysis of ancillary
benets. Being mindful that most of the opportunities would need to be negotiated under
the terms of the existing Southern State Education Agreement (SSEA), the Insurance
Commiee forwarded their recommendations to the College and SSEA leadership for
consideration.

Examples of “gross income” include compensation for services (such as salary), interest, rent, and pensions.
Most filers* must list every source of income, regardless of amount, that: (a) they received in 2012; or (b) any other person
received in 2012 for their use or benefit. Following each source of income, briefly describe the services you provided in

income for your use or benefit. You must list the trust as a source of income and all sources of income received by the
trust. For more information about trust disclosure, see Advisory Opinion No. 2005-01.
If you are paid for your public service, include the public agency as a source of income.

Dr. Kevin Boys
President
Southern State Community College
Dear Dr. Boys,
Congratulations, I am pleased to announce that Southern State Community College was awarded for
your Ohio Means Internships & Co-ops Ohio South Consortium. Your proposal will provide new
opportunities for students to engage in hands-on-learning and deepen relationships with area
employers. This award is part of Governor John Kasich’s workforce development strategies to align
Ohio’s higher education curriculum with skills that are in demand by Ohio’s businesses.
I’m pleased that we received significant interest in this initiative from across Ohio. Through the review
process, your proposal was recommended to be funded at $236,450. All awards are contingent upon
Controlling Board approval and this is slated to be reviewed in January 2013.
My hope is that you’ll strive to serve students with these funds as soon as possible. Information on the
process to receive your award will be forthcoming; staff from the Ohio Board of Regents will work with
your program administrator(s) in the coming weeks to enable your program to serve students during the
