dc.description	The Valdosta State College Annual Report of the President for fiscal year 1994-1995 by Hugh C. Bailey	en_US
dc.description.abstract	Valdosta State’s second year as a Regional University was a tremendous success. Enrollment reached an all-time high each quarter. After extensive input from every segment of the campus, the University’s Mission Statement and Institutional Goals were revised. The PEW Charitable Trust Roundtable was used to study and clarify all aspects of the institution’s operation. The fiber optics network was extended to all segments of the campus and “lighted up,” creating a truly outstanding data network system. During the year, over 200 micros were received and installed, making available 1,700 for use in 15 student laboratories and in faculty offices. The application of technology enabled the institution to improve its service to the entire region while reducing costs. Although there was an 8.7 percent increase in off-campus enrollment, the faculty reduced off-campus travel by over 40 percent (to 62,000 miles). The University successfully offered the first Postsecondary Options courses by distance learning and continued to offer the entire undergraduate degrees in business and nursing by the same method. In all aspects of its operation, the University worked to nurture a diverse student body, maintain a positive balance between liberal arts and professional education, serve its region responsibly, and provide an appealing setting in which students can grow. Optimism and anticipation continued to be the prevailing campus attitude. We realize that we must provide much of the training, guidance, and leadership to our region if it and the entire state are to realize their optimum growth and development. The challenge is a great one, but one that is exciting and exhilarating. Sincerely, Hugh C. Bailey President	en_US
