 Equipment for this technology is now largely in place or on order. The up-link is operational, and the FCC license and a
 $500,000 grant to upgrade to digital encoding have been received. The smaller TVRO antenna has been relocated and is operational,
 permitting the conduction of multiple simultaneous teleconferences.}

 was spent to insure VSU's position as a technology leader. The major focus was to upgrade and increase the reliability of
 technology. For example, in the last 18 months, 792 Pentium computers were installed to replace older machines, and critical
 portions of the campus-wide network were increased in speed from 10 to 100 megabytes per second. With an extensive, reliable,
 campus-wide data network comprised of 18 miles of fiber and 55 miles of copper connecting every building, office, student
 lab, and classroom, VSU's faculty and students utilize 2,300 computer workstations for easy access to the capabilities of
 the Internet, World Wide Web, e-mail, and other resources.}

 invoices to be mailed. The system allows students to register over the phone and know the amount of fees due. The Personnel

 personnel, and termination of employees. In the Auxiliary Services Division, Food Services and Catering increased sales
 and surplus revenue. The rapidly growing University Bookstore installed a point- of-sale register system which affords improved

 effectiveness in academic programs or academic support units must originate in a mission statement that describes directly
 and effectively what the purpose of the unit or program is. The unit-specific statements reflect the broader mission of
 the University. This past year the University Mission Statement was amended and approved by the Faculty Senate. This Board
 of Regents approved document served as the template for academic units to prepare statements of purpose. A central tenet
 was that all units and programs should work in concert to fulfill VSU's mission. Assessing program quality requires assessing
 tasks or outcomes for their effectiveness and utilizing the lesson learned from reflection to improve practices and devise
 new goals promoting improvement in purpose or activities. Academic program reviews must focus on student learning, while
 the review of support units must focus upon the delivery of services and student perceptions of those services.}

{\cs18\lang1033\langfe1033\b0\i0\ul0\strike0\scaps0\fs22\afs22\charscalex100\expndtw-3\cf1\dn0 In addition to changes in
 the institution's role, scope, and mission, there have been significant changes in academic personnel over the last year.
 New deans were hired in the College of the Arts and the College of Nursing as well as new department heads in Communication
 Arts, Educational Leadership, Music, and Sociology/Anthropology/ Criminal Justice. Also, new administrators were appointed
 at the VSU Kings Bay site. During the past year, VSU continued to attract a talented group of new faculty. These individuals
 were chosen in large part because they have a commitment to quality improvement and to planned change that is driven by
 the institution's unique mission, its goals, and a sensitivity to the characteristics of its service region. Moreover, the
 new faculty bring with them new perspectives on their disciplines, new methods of instruction, and new agendas for service.
 Taken together, the strength of the "established" faculty/administrators and the dynamics of the "new" faculty/ administrators
 have resulted in a positive academic atmosphere.}

 positive steps in the area of advanced educational technology. Distance education continues to be an import vehicle for
 delivering courses and curricula to remote sites in the service area. Through satellite down-link technology, VSU will become
 one of three sites for Georgia Public Television's Satellite Communications for Learning Program. This technology will allow
 VSU to receive numerous international programs which can be transmitted through distance education to other sites in the
 region. The satellite uplink will extend VSU's ability to be a participant in collaborative state-wide programming by early
 1998. Additionally, VSU has created a number of model electronic classrooms, new computer labs, and additional microcomputer
 workstations. Although this technological enhancement is almost revolutionary in nature, VSU has maintained the personal
 attention to students that has long characterized its campus culture, a condition it will sustain.}
