00:00:02,250 --> 00:00:10,440
Mary Rees: Welcome to Moorpark College Campus Update for November 15. We'll be waiting just a minute, while we wait for others to come and join us.

2
00:00:33,630 --> 00:00:41,370
Good afternoon and welcome to our Moorpark Update. We'll wait just another minute for people to be joining us.

3
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,120
So for today's Moorpark College Update, we would like to start

4
00:01:07,470 --> 00:01:09,420
with our land acknowledgement statement.

5
00:01:10,530 --> 00:01:18,990
We acknowledge Moorpark College occupies the unceded traditional land of the Chumash people who have stewarded it throughout generations.

6
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:34,620
As we honor the Chumash people with gratitude, we commit to learning how we may be better stewards of this land we inhabit as well. We seek to build relationships with the Chumash community through academic pursuits, partnerships, 

7
00:01:35,730 --> 00:01:45,510
historical recognitions, and community service as these relationships are foundational for inclusive and equitable education and community engagement.

8
00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:54,900
A wonderful land acknowledgement and a wonderful way for us to be celebrating national or excuse me, Native American Heritage Month here at Moorpark College.

9
00:01:56,070 --> 00:01:56,700
In the

10
00:01:57,810 --> 00:02:04,890
chat, I believe, is the link. If you're interested in putting the land acknowledgement statement on your syllabus or using it as

11
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:16,470
something to support your work here on campus, it's available. And I think it's a wonderful place to start some wonderful communication and discussion. So thank you.

12
00:02:17,370 --> 00:02:26,280
For today's update, we're going to start with President Sokenu going through campus update, we'll have our COVID dash update,

13
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:35,790
Business Service update, academic, student support. We'll go through the remote work groups and end up with some

14
00:02:36,450 --> 00:02:47,730
additional question and answers, and we'll end off with a wonderful veterans video. Just want to remind people that the updates are closed captioned.

15
00:02:48,120 --> 00:03:09,060
If you're interested in seeing the closed caption, please click the CC at the bottom of your screen. Also the webinars are being recorded and they will be transcripted and placed on the president's website. So good afternoon and so good to have you all here today. Good afternoon Julius.

16
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,800
Julius Sokenu: Good afternoon Mary. Thank you everyone for being here this afternoon.

17
00:03:14,970 --> 00:03:20,850
It is astounding to me that we are just days away from Thanksgiving and

18
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:33,270
it's Indigenous people day and it's just fascinating to me that we thought the semester was just beginning and it's now moving towards its end. And so a big thank you to each and every one of you.

19
00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:40,860
Also, a big thank you to each and every one of you as our campus community continues to move

20
00:03:42,450 --> 00:03:48,780
and support the health and well being of everyone, that's a part of this college community of ours.

21
00:03:49,830 --> 00:04:01,080
Folks are complying with the testing and in great numbers. Thank you to PubSeg for continuing to reach out to our campus community members who are testing,

22
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:14,430
and for their continued participation in this process. I appreciate your participation. Similarly, we are continuing to increase the number of folks uploading

23
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,860
their vaccination cards and information to the

24
00:04:20,310 --> 00:04:30,330
app. And again, thank you to folks who are doing that and to everyone who is involved in our in our screening process, as well as involved in our

25
00:04:30,630 --> 00:04:39,240
safety and well being on campus. I'm going to turn it over to Allison and she can provide you more detail. Hi Allison. Thank you for joining us.

26
00:04:39,420 --> 00:04:52,770
Allison Barton: Thank you so much, and good afternoon everybody. So our familiar slide here. We can see that we're kind of data status quo for active positive cases and exposures.

27
00:04:54,510 --> 00:05:09,900
You can see that the new exposures number is rather low compared to positive cases and that's because a few of them happened off campus and then people were never on campus at a time when they could have exposed anybody, so that's great.

28
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:17,880
The other thing that you'll notice is that as Julius pointed out, we have a ton of vaccines, more uploads.

29
00:05:19,230 --> 00:05:32,610
I think we verified another 150 or 140 or something last weekend. We did several over the weekend. So this slide is now old but you'll get to see it updated next time.

30
00:05:33,330 --> 00:05:44,340
The other thing I wanted to mention just while we're on the topic of vaccines uploaded is that many of you are starting to get booster shots, which is great,

31
00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:49,500
and you're uploading them because you should right?

32
00:05:49,890 --> 00:06:01,650
But the tiny little problem with that is that it reverts your pass to an orange pass. And in order for you to be able to come on campus you need a blue or green.

33
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:20,940
So I'm going to respectfully ask you to hang on to your booster information until we have a better way of having you upload it. We're talking about it actually in a meeting tomorrow to figure out how to have you upload your booster without making you

34
00:06:22,470 --> 00:06:32,160
get a pass that can allow you onto campus if that makes sense. So hang on to the booster information and just upload if you haven't uploaded any vaccine yet.

35
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:41,880
Alright. So excuse me. The other thing about vaccine uploading, if you haven't done it already and you're getting ready to do it,

36
00:06:42,180 --> 00:06:51,210
please make sure that you're using the vaccine upload tile, the little blue one with the syringe on it. A lot of people are uploading to our

37
00:06:51,810 --> 00:07:05,520
testing tile and that doesn't put you in the queue to get verified. Luckily PubSeg has been finding those and identifying them and letting us know about them, so we can verify them.

38
00:07:06,390 --> 00:07:19,980
But that's another thing that will delay your ability to come on campus with a blue pass. So hopefully that makes sense, and you can ask me questions. You know where to find me if you have questions about that. Next slide please?

39
00:07:22,950 --> 00:07:40,410
Alright, and so here you go. This is if you're uploading testing. That's the title you use for that, and in order to upload a vaccine again, you're going to slide to the left until you get to that blue tile with the syringe on it. Alright next slide please?

40
00:07:41,970 --> 00:07:44,250
Alright and then excuse me.

41
00:07:45,930 --> 00:07:50,850
So we had alluded to the idea that we're having just this really great

42
00:07:51,810 --> 00:08:02,280
experience of people uploading their vaccines like crazy it's wonderful. So this gives us an idea of the percentage of people coming on campus each day and

43
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:17,010
how many of them are vaccinated, and excuse me, as you can see we're in the high 80s to 90s. Last week we had 90% almost every day, which was nice.

44
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:27,930
It was very low on Thursday. Thursday it was a holiday, but we still had people coming on campus. So you can see that that was lower.

45
00:08:28,350 --> 00:08:33,150
And you can see, even on Wednesday seems to be our highest population day.

46
00:08:33,750 --> 00:08:46,740
And we were in the 90% last week, this week on Wednesday. So that's really great news. I'm just delighted to see how many people are vaccinated and uploading that information and it's just

47
00:08:47,340 --> 00:08:55,020
wonderful news. So keep up the good work. I must say that it's a team effort from everybody from classroom

48
00:08:56,550 --> 00:09:01,710
instructors really helping their students remember to upload, and

49
00:09:02,940 --> 00:09:13,800
to the Student Health Center staff that's monitoring all of it too. So thank you very much, everybody, for all your hard work and getting this done. And I think that's it.

50
00:09:15,870 --> 00:09:18,450
Back to Julius, I think. Yeah.

51
00:09:19,620 --> 00:09:20,160
Thanks.

52
00:09:23,730 --> 00:09:27,810
Julius: Okay. Let's see if there any questions, in particular.

53
00:09:28,620 --> 00:09:31,620
Mary: Julius the only question is whether a booster will be required.

54
00:09:32,790 --> 00:09:35,220
Julius: At this point, we're not requiring boosters.

55
00:09:36,420 --> 00:09:40,770
But if you've gotten one as Allison says, please keep your documentation

56
00:09:42,510 --> 00:09:49,260
until we're able to document them through the app, but we're not planning to require boosters, at this point.

57
00:09:50,910 --> 00:09:51,360
Mary: Thank you.

58
00:09:51,750 --> 00:09:52,200
Julius: Sure.

59
00:09:54,090 --> 00:09:54,450
Okay,

60
00:09:55,740 --> 00:09:57,780
if there are no questions, next slide please?

61
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:11,130
Okay, so, as you all know, as you have all have heard by now, Moorpark College is identified as one of the best community colleges in the country. Well, we already know we're the best.

62
00:10:12,150 --> 00:10:24,120
We're one of the top 150 colleges that are eligible for the Aspen prize. And if you're not familiar with the Aspen prize, it's a coveted award. Someone referred to it as the Oscars

63
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:30,870
of higher education, because it really is an opportunity to demonstrate and articulate

64
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:42,720
how a college does its best at serving students. Serving students so they can transfer, serving students so that they have equal access to

65
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:53,760
the classroom and to the learning that happens, and serving students in that they are preparing, this college is preparing students for the workforce of preparing students for

66
00:10:54,510 --> 00:11:05,220
participation in their communities. We are very proud to be on this list, yet again, year two in a row. And last year, some of you know, we made it to the

67
00:11:06,180 --> 00:11:16,500
top 30. And then we got some good feedback. So we will be working on that, so as to ensure that we make it past that this year.

68
00:11:17,220 --> 00:11:29,010
Thank you to the folks who are helping to draft the documents that will then be submitted on December 13, which is when our application for the Aspen prize is due.

69
00:11:30,930 --> 00:11:35,310
Moorpark College as an exemplar of what is the

70
00:11:37,980 --> 00:11:46,650
appropriate and the humane way of working with students and student populations, and we hope to be able to demonstrate that this time around, as well.

71
00:11:47,430 --> 00:11:59,580
We've also submitted a student housing grant. The State Chancellor's Office with the Department of Finance for the state of California, is releasing about $2 billion.

72
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:05,970
Half of that to go to the community college and the other half to the four year institutions. So as to

73
00:12:06,510 --> 00:12:24,450
support and build student housing for the most neediest of our students. Moorpark College, Ventura College, and Oxnard College, are all three applying for this grant. Both Oxnard and Moorpark will be applying for the planning grant, which is to plan to

74
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:36,390
put together a construction project. Ventura College already has a plan that they developed a few years back, and they are applying for a construction grant.

75
00:12:37,530 --> 00:12:46,320
If we get the grant it will be an opportunity for us today put together a group and a team of folks who can then develop a very

76
00:12:47,010 --> 00:12:58,410
comprehensive plan to house our neediest students. As you all know, and as we've said multiple times, we have students who are dealing with housing insecurity, who are

77
00:12:58,860 --> 00:13:15,480
couchsurfing. We have students who report in previous surveys, that they have been homeless and live in their cars. And so this is an opportunity for us as an institution to meet the needs of those students into right by that and continue to do so.

78
00:13:17,490 --> 00:13:19,320
Thank you to Priscilla Mora,

79
00:13:20,340 --> 00:13:26,400
Dean Priscilla Mora, who helped to spearhead this project and write the grant, to

80
00:13:27,510 --> 00:13:37,800
Director of FM & O, John Sinutko. It's great to have a director of FM & O, who is well connected in the state and can connect us to individuals who can help answer questions.

81
00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:53,820
I would love to say a very big thank you also to our vice presidents who's thinking and contribution to this process, made it possible for us to get our grant application in on time.

82
00:13:54,990 --> 00:14:03,420
As we do this work we do it in partnership with the city of Moorpark that is going through a planning process. And that planning process

83
00:14:04,650 --> 00:14:16,500
in a very good way, identifies Moorpark as a special population, for which they want to support. So they would like to support our housing for students and hopefully at some point, faculty and staff.

84
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:31,590
And when we talk about housing, we're talking about affordable housing. Also kudos to our women's volleyball Western State Championship team. Our women's volleyball team beat at Cuesta College to earn this

85
00:14:33,540 --> 00:14:40,200
championship. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the coaches and particularly, to Dr. Adam Black,

86
00:14:41,220 --> 00:14:54,210
the head coach of our volleyball team, as well as the assistant coaches and the team members themselves. You do us proud and our scholar athletes, as always, always strive for excellence.

87
00:14:54,780 --> 00:15:03,390
In terms of hiring for 22-23, I did communicate with the joint dean's council and Academic Senate council committee,

88
00:15:04,710 --> 00:15:16,410
on Friday, that we will be hiring for the counseling position and the ethnic studies position, which is number one and number two on the faculty prioritization list.

89
00:15:16,950 --> 00:15:26,040
We will also be hiring the mandated position of a nursing faculty member, as well as the categorical position of the EOPS counselor.

90
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:38,520
One other position that is mandated is a vet tech faculty member, and we are currently working towards putting the program together and making it viable.

91
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:46,590
And so at this point, I am not recommending that we hire faculty in vet tech until that program is more viable for delivery.

92
00:15:47,370 --> 00:16:04,500
Again, you should you already know, and you may have seen it, that the announcement for the Vice President of Academic Affairs position has been posted. It will close on January 16, 2022. And we look forward to

93
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,230
that hiring process.

94
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:25,290
Thank you to Jodi Dickey, to Dan McMichael, to Monica Garcia, and to Linda Resendiz, who represent our college and the district wide remote work group committee. That committee met for the first time

95
00:16:25,710 --> 00:16:36,600
this past week and it's a very good conversation as to the future of work in the VCCCD. We were able to address people's concerns around

96
00:16:37,860 --> 00:16:44,910
what they perceive as resistance to remote work, and we're also able to sort of visualize what we would like to see

97
00:16:46,620 --> 00:16:57,570
in the college districts support of remote work. We also discussed what particular support managers and

98
00:16:58,170 --> 00:17:06,270
supervisors will need, so that they can manage remotely effectively, but also the context in which employees can

99
00:17:06,930 --> 00:17:23,430
work remotely. That conversation continues. I believe we have another meeting next week. Our goal is to be able to make recommendations for the short term to Chancellor Gillespie in mid December, and then to continue working on long term

100
00:17:24,120 --> 00:17:42,000
recommendations for mid spring semester, so that by the time this academic year is over, we can identify the elements that might need to be negotiated, we can identify the elements that can be put into practice, and we can also build upon the good practice that's already in place.

101
00:17:43,230 --> 00:17:46,200
Tomorrow at 1:00 pm we will be

102
00:17:47,430 --> 00:17:57,600
groundbreaking our tiger habitat for for Neil and Karma. And at the zoo, please feel free to join us at that event.

103
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:07,260
I promise that it will be a short thing, to the point celebrating and thanking the folks who are part of making this happen,

104
00:18:07,950 --> 00:18:20,280
but also be an opportunity for us to put the right spotlight on on America's Teaching Zoo and our EATM program. We as always know that we are

105
00:18:20,910 --> 00:18:30,930
conservators of the public trust and that also includes our conservators of our animal friends. Thank you to those who are planning that event.

106
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:45,180
Particularly Tamara Rodriguez, our development coordinator for the zoo and for the team of faculty and staff at the zoo, who are working on that program as well as our marketing people putting that information out there.

107
00:18:46,410 --> 00:19:05,340
We will not have a campus update on December 3. The next campus update will be on December 13. And at that campus update and we will be celebrating the faculty and the staff who are retiring, as well as

108
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,380
as best as we can, getting ready for the festive

109
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:22,200
end of the year season. Let's see, I think that is it for those. Are there any particular questions for me to address?

110
00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:36,180
Mary: Julius, there was a question as to when the just to verify again, that the remote work recommendations are going to the district, and what kind of time frame would be involved in any kind of action.

111
00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:39,660
Julius: I'm sorry, can you repeat that again?

112
00:19:39,780 --> 00:19:46,290
Mary: Sure. There was a question about the remote work when the recommendations would go into effect.

113
00:19:46,800 --> 00:20:06,720
Julius: Yes, so when the recommendation goes to the Chancellor and he then reflects upon that, takes it to the Board of Trustees and, of course, gets their feedback and when that is done, then we can go into

114
00:20:08,070 --> 00:20:17,010
operationalizing those recommendations. So I would say to you the short term recommendations we plan to make them

115
00:20:18,210 --> 00:20:33,660
by mid December and the hope is that by January at the very latest, that those recommendations will go into effect, or some of those recommendations, I don't know if all of them will be able to go into effect, but some of those recommendations will go into effect.

116
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,040
[Mary]: Thank you. [Julius]: Sure.

117
00:20:39,270 --> 00:20:39,660
Okay.

118
00:20:40,770 --> 00:20:46,560
If there are no other questions I will go ahead and pass the baton to Dr. Jennifer Clark.

119
00:20:48,630 --> 00:20:53,010
Jennifer Clark: Good afternoon everybody. Just a couple of quick, one announcement and one update.

120
00:20:54,150 --> 00:21:10,650
I wanted to circle back to the student HEERF funds that we've been distributing for about the last year and a half now, we have distributed I'm very happy to say, just over $9 million directly to students.

121
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:25,530
And we are just a few students under 7,900. So we have directly impacted with direct aid nearly 7,900 students with over $9 million. So that's great news.

122
00:21:26,550 --> 00:21:36,120
And we're still doing it. We're continuing those efforts, yep. And then just an announcement that we have the classified

123
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:46,890
prioritization meeting coming up. That is next week, Thanksgiving week, during the cap, so EdCap/ Fiscal

124
00:21:47,310 --> 00:22:03,780
committee. So if you are presenting, if you had a request, and you are attending to talk about your request, then don't forget. Mark your calendar, it is next week. That is it from Business Services.

125
00:22:08,250 --> 00:22:09,030
Mary: Thank you Jennifer.

126
00:22:11,700 --> 00:22:21,900
As far as talking about academic affairs, we have a couple of things going on. One is we just wanted to update people, like on the next slide. Oh, here we go.

127
00:22:23,310 --> 00:22:28,440
Want to thank everyone for all that everyone has done all semester and

128
00:22:30,090 --> 00:22:40,500
want to thank them for all of that. And what a great semester. When you saw that Thursday or Wednesday, what we have over 1,500 people on campus. I think we're really,

129
00:22:41,070 --> 00:22:50,070
it's exciting times, it is. We're really redefining work and redefining the instructional and student services process, so thank you.

130
00:22:50,430 --> 00:23:01,530
Part of the redesign is just about encourage everyone that just like any part of the student education we're all an active part of it. So for people's health on campus,

131
00:23:02,730 --> 00:23:13,050
we all need to play a role, we need to be checking for people's helping support that they have their wristband that they do go and go through the screening and are participating.

132
00:23:14,430 --> 00:23:27,540
We'd want to make sure that this is a campus wide, that everyone is an active part of keeping all of our students on the path moving forward in a safe manner as possible. So thank you all for all of your work on that.

133
00:23:28,410 --> 00:23:43,740
I'm very excited about with spring. I know the semester is in quite over yet. We're onto the kind of the the crunch part with finishing up the assignments and getting the tests and the finals and all of that, and this last part goes so quickly.

134
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:53,730
And then we'll be ready for spring. And we have started spring enrollment, which is full of optimism. We are really excited

135
00:23:54,180 --> 00:24:11,220
that we have opportunities for meeting the students wherever they're at. We have about a third of our offerings will be on ground, about a third of them will be online, and a third will be either hybrid or HyFlex. We really want to make sure that we're there for the students.

136
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:22,740
The whole last two years have been extremely hard on our students and we need to encourage them to get back on the path to meeting their educational goals. So

137
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:31,200
I think spring sounds like it should really provide some interesting opportunities, all different pedagogies for our students.

138
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:50,340
We have a lot of new things coming as far as technology. Hopefully everybody's heard that we're going to be phasing out Skype and we will be using Teams instead. This isn't something that we've decided that we're going to be going, you know, this wasn't a vote.

139
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:56,820
But Skype is no longer going to be supported, so we are switching to Teams and

140
00:24:57,540 --> 00:25:12,450
Michael Ashton, thank you so much, just put in the chat a link on how to use Teams, so that we can really leverage it and it has a lot of strong pieces that we can really use, but it's not going to be an option to use Skype.

141
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:19,320
Your phone messages, your phone probably if you have a telephone, you might even be getting a new one, that is

142
00:25:20,070 --> 00:25:27,450
compatible with Teams. So that will be coming relatively shortly in the next month or two. We're going to be moving away from Skype.

143
00:25:28,140 --> 00:25:38,850
Just one let people know also from technology, that we're going to be moving over the spring semester, we're going to be moving to a new schedule

144
00:25:39,330 --> 00:25:51,240
and tool for our students. We are also going to be moving to a new catalog. A completely online catalog in the fall. So with the move to a new schedule,

145
00:25:52,140 --> 00:26:06,870
to move to a new catalog, it's going to be a lot of new things for us to pick up and get used to. And then also to be working with our students, these are supposedly going to be much more friendly and help our students. So they should be a really good thing.

146
00:26:08,610 --> 00:26:17,130
We have let's see. Wanting to let... I think those are a couple of the things. As we get new additional things we'll let you know.

147
00:26:17,490 --> 00:26:27,960
There is a Proctorio survey. We want to make sure again, talking about meeting students where they're at and providing the best tools for our faculty and our students.

148
00:26:28,410 --> 00:26:35,460
We're really looking at who uses Proctorio. So please fill out the survey, if you use Proctorio. And we can see if it meets

149
00:26:35,820 --> 00:26:43,080
the needs of our students and the faculty or if we should be looking at alternate ways to meet those needs.

150
00:26:43,590 --> 00:26:51,000
Just a reminder to people, this is Native American Heritage Month and we have another wonderful event today at 3:00.

151
00:26:51,630 --> 00:27:01,590
You can seen Infants to Elders American Indian Health Care in the 21st Century. And this is a great opportunity. We're going to be hearing from our

152
00:27:02,370 --> 00:27:12,180
nursing faculty discussing health and healthcare as it relates to Native Americans today. It is a registered event, so when you click on this

153
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:30,450
you can register, hopefully you've gotten some emails as well to register for today's event. So that should be another really good one. The one on Monday, November 8 was also a really interesting presentation.

154
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:33,210
Amanuel?

155
00:27:35,340 --> 00:27:37,740
Amanuel Gebru: Thank you Mary. Good afternoon everyone.

156
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:46,590
Good to see you all. A lot of good stuff happening on campus. Last week, our outreach team and faculty and staff were on campus.

157
00:27:47,520 --> 00:28:05,340
But we hosted a two day event for Guided Pathways on Wednesday, November 3. We had a virtual open house. We had about 65 participants attend. Students, guests learned about Guided Pathways program, picked from the eight areas of interest from the breakout session, where they learned about,

158
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:17,160
where they heard from faculty and were able to participate in question and answer from current students, as well as alumni. And then on Thursday on November 4 we hosted

159
00:28:17,940 --> 00:28:26,700
Guided Pathways areas of interest campus tour at the college. We had about 35 students show up, including guests attending with them as well, their parents.

160
00:28:27,420 --> 00:28:36,060
They toured the campus, got Moorpark College swag, interacted with other students and staff. So just another way of really trying to engage

161
00:28:36,390 --> 00:28:40,830
our community and our students with our outreach efforts. So thank you to all the faculty and staff

162
00:28:41,340 --> 00:28:49,110
that were involved in the virtual and also on campus activities as we try to boost enrollment with our students from the community.

163
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:58,470
In terms of another form of outreach, our international students. We've been doing a lot of work with Claudia and her team. We have about 30

164
00:28:59,100 --> 00:29:06,300
students scheduled to come in the spring. And 30 of those 10 students are going to be from Bangladesh. So we're working with

165
00:29:07,140 --> 00:29:15,090
our international community and our agents to try to get more international students on our campus, as they transition to being with us

166
00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:26,070
on campus and engaging with our day to day activities. And then our FYE and SYE program continues to hold registration events.

167
00:29:27,030 --> 00:29:35,400
All students that attended were able to solidify spring 2022 schedule, connect with coaches, counselors and campus partners.

168
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:48,720
A lot of good stuff happening. Also our second year program, we'll be hosting a friendsgiving this week for all CHESS students and then that will be held at CLU in our partnership with the CHESS grant.

169
00:29:49,950 --> 00:30:00,720
And then just update from dual enrollment, continues to grow and build. We had 170 FTES in 19-20. In 2021 we've reached 620

170
00:30:02,070 --> 00:30:16,110
FTES. It's more than doubled numbers in two years. The staff is seeking more enrollment by adding on charter schools and seek app agreements. So kudos to the great work, Sergio's doing with Khushnur,

171
00:30:16,620 --> 00:30:23,850
our high school partners. A lot of good stuff for dual enrollment. We're getting more and more requests for courses. So thank you to all the department chairs

172
00:30:24,270 --> 00:30:29,340
and all the Faculty that continue teaching our dual enrollment program. And then in terms of

173
00:30:30,270 --> 00:30:38,580
update from A & R, new and returning enrollment priority starts today. So please tell students to register, because classes are available to them.

174
00:30:39,030 --> 00:30:50,880
And then last but not least, last week I was in the Veteran's Resource Center and I was meeting with Johnny, some of the student athletes and veterans, and I ran into a student who was homeless and I know Julius talked about the housing grant,

175
00:30:52,290 --> 00:30:59,550
and it speaks to how important that is. So one of the students just didn't have a home to live and have a place to live, was living in his car.

176
00:31:00,390 --> 00:31:05,880
So after talking to him, and Johnny, Financial Aid folks and everyone worked really hard

177
00:31:06,270 --> 00:31:15,240
the next day to find him housing. So this is the kind of stuff that happens behind the scene. So kudos to all those faculty and staff that continue to engage with our students,

178
00:31:15,540 --> 00:31:22,890
and have that extra conversation where you find out what they need, and then hand them off to the right person. And our folks in Financial Aid and Johnny

179
00:31:23,220 --> 00:31:30,030
were able to find this person housing. Thank you to everyone that's doing that, in those areas. So kudos to you Johnny and the people you're working with.

180
00:31:31,380 --> 00:31:35,190
And that's it from me Mary. I pass it back to whoever's next.

181
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:38,970
Mary: Thank you Amanuel.

182
00:31:40,050 --> 00:31:46,710
Next we're going to hear about remote work. And we've got four different areas of remote work. Best practices,

183
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:54,210
operations, areas and jobs, policies and practices, and then some resources we have in the library.

184
00:31:54,660 --> 00:32:08,700
Each of the groups, a huge thank you to the people that have done the work, they're going to let us know where we're at. And then, if you have questions or concerns you can also send them either to Amanuel or I, and we can help for them to the groups. Thanks Carol.

185
00:32:11,010 --> 00:32:11,820
Carol Higashida: Thank you Mary.

186
00:32:12,870 --> 00:32:15,780
Hello everyone. Next slide please?

187
00:32:16,950 --> 00:32:30,480
I'll be presenting the recommendations made by the remote work best practices work group. And this group included members from students support services and instruction. And I want to thank them for their great work.

188
00:32:31,380 --> 00:32:44,640
Some of the recommended best practices were implemented prior to the pandemic. And this probably made it easier to expand and transition other college processes to remote work, during the past one and a half years.

189
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:52,020
Allowing the College to continue providing the much needed services and instruction. Next slide please?

190
00:32:53,610 --> 00:33:03,720
The best practices recommended by the work group, increase efficiency, accessibility, and ultimately help to promote student success.

191
00:33:04,230 --> 00:33:25,020
And these practices are categorized into business practices, counseling services, library and Teaching Learning Center services, instruction, professional development, and committee work group meetings. And I'll only mentioned a few of the best practices per category, in respect of time.

192
00:33:26,250 --> 00:33:46,410
The recommendations for business practices are first, digital requisitions and hiring paperwork for all classifications, using electronic signatures. Second, the use of the Ventura County Community College District One Drive that increases accessibility of documents from any workstation.

193
00:33:47,970 --> 00:34:07,800
Next, recommendations for counseling services are first, online counseling appointments that include non traditional hours. Second, online petitions, like course substitution requests. And third, Zoom workshops, such as onboarding of new students and registration week.

194
00:34:09,300 --> 00:34:21,570
Recommendations for library and Teaching Learning Center services are first, online appointments and 24 hour chat and text access for research support with reference librarians.

195
00:34:22,230 --> 00:34:40,860
Second, remote access to library resources, such as e-books, database articles, and streaming videos. And third, online study guides for classes like tips on how to cite using APA and MLA formats. And the fourth one, online tutorial services.

196
00:34:42,180 --> 00:34:55,500
The recommended best practices for instruction are first, online application submission process for programs that admit students as a cohort, like in the health sciences of nursing, RadTech and nuclear medicine.

197
00:34:55,950 --> 00:35:08,370
And we hope to expand this to EATM shortly. Second, instructional software to supplement course content, like Labster for the sciences and Visible Body for an anatomy.

198
00:35:08,940 --> 00:35:23,220
And third, have online courses assessed by the local peer online course review group and to do this to help ensure best practice standards are followed for online courses.

199
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:40,170
The work group members also recommended that Zoom workshops and webinars be available for professional development. And lastly, the committee work groups, such as curriculum tech review be conducted through Zoom to increase efficiency.

200
00:35:41,310 --> 00:35:49,350
These are the highlights of some of the best practices. A more extensive list was submitted to Dr. Sokenu. Thank you.

201
00:35:51,150 --> 00:36:01,050
The next presenter will be Julie Beveridge, Jennifer Beveridge. Sorry about that. And she'll be addressing the remote work for operations.

202
00:36:02,490 --> 00:36:03,060
Jennifer Beveridge: Thank you.

203
00:36:04,890 --> 00:36:08,940
Hi I'm Jennifer Beveridge and my remote work group

204
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:27,660
was about the operations recommendations, that we already had seen in practice, but also going forward would be great for remote work. Our group, next slide please, they highlighted several topics,

205
00:36:28,860 --> 00:36:38,670
mostly to do with what we've seen through the past year and a half, through working remotely, that have benefited our campus.

206
00:36:39,090 --> 00:36:53,550
The first one that we highlighted, brainstormed was about automation software. All of the resources that we have available through SharePoint list, Microsoft Forms, Microsoft Office Suite, the Adobe.

207
00:36:54,330 --> 00:37:04,590
We recommend that the campus and employees share the use of these automated resources that we have. These operational

208
00:37:05,820 --> 00:37:12,960
resources are key to doing our job very smoothly, while we were working remotely.

209
00:37:13,950 --> 00:37:25,170
We saw also that some of the signatures, the wet we converted, a lot of the wet signatures to electronic signatures. And through that we were able to see how

210
00:37:25,590 --> 00:37:40,440
the intermediate signatures and pertinent notes from people that are signing in the intermediary we're able to track a lot more smoothly, were able to get these

211
00:37:41,190 --> 00:37:51,990
signatures and documents, a lot quicker than if we were to run down of physical in person signatures from every department.

212
00:37:52,740 --> 00:38:05,250
We also highlighted that some of the operational recommendations for secured file sharing, not just for One Drive, but also for SharePoint and some of the drives that we use

213
00:38:06,330 --> 00:38:18,000
we saw a marked increase in use of this and it has been very useful, because it's for secure purposes we're not sharing files through,

214
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:19,560
say,

215
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:32,220
drives that are that are on our computers at work or computers at home. They're now shared with more employees and faculty and people are able to see things in real time.

216
00:38:33,150 --> 00:38:44,940
We also saw a greater access of work flow platforms. This meant things and not just the Microsoft Suite through the things that we've seen, but we're talking about different

217
00:38:46,620 --> 00:39:04,950
platforms like Banner or we have a lot of tools that we use behind the scenes for like On Base, Drupal, and Back Office and all those drives that we have. These work flow platforms have been able to assist us in

218
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:19,140
giving us greater access to doing our jobs, effectively. And we kind of recommended that the flipping of the attitude goes from, why does this employee need the access to why should this employee have access, because

219
00:39:19,590 --> 00:39:26,250
these were very important work flow platforms that helped us do our jobs effectively.

220
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:41,100
We were talking about we've heard about the Microsoft Teams, how it grew in popularity, just like our Skype. And we definitely going forward, want to have more access to

221
00:39:41,580 --> 00:39:50,760
utilizing the services that are in Teams. We have that training session that was posted in the chat and we recommended that

222
00:39:51,390 --> 00:40:02,550
these were great and abundant training. Also the last thing that we did recommend was the work status feature. We have it on Skype. We even have it on Teams.

223
00:40:03,300 --> 00:40:12,900
It has some limitations and we say things like that, where we are, we say we're busy or do not disturb those kinds of features are

224
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:25,950
maybe something that we need to look for because somebody may be available when they say they're busy or not available when they say they're available. That could be something that we work with. So that is

225
00:40:26,430 --> 00:40:37,380
what we recommended and brainstormed with our group. So I'm going to turn this over to, I believe, okay areas and jobs with Tracie Bosket and

226
00:40:38,700 --> 00:40:39,510
that is my presentation.

227
00:40:40,620 --> 00:40:41,280
Tracie Bosket: Thanks Jennifer.

228
00:40:43,170 --> 00:40:57,480
Hey everybody, this is Tracie and I'm presenting our findings or work in the area and jobs work group. And we framed our work with the Moorpark master plan and strategic plan goals.

229
00:40:58,860 --> 00:41:06,000
And then, our purpose. Actually, can you go to the next, Michael? Thank you. There you go. It's already on there.

230
00:41:08,250 --> 00:41:10,110
So, listen to the concept.

231
00:41:12,210 --> 00:41:13,120
Anyway it's on there.

232
00:41:13,710 --> 00:41:24,720
So what we did is we had just, I'll say a test because it's not completed that all, survey, with just our group to see if it was a survey that is helpful at all.

233
00:41:25,530 --> 00:41:38,700
So what we did is we took all of the responses and we have three different documents. One was just rough feedback. The second line was that we were kind of just

234
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:51,600
putting things together what makes sense. And then the third, we have a list of all of the areas that submitted the survey who submitted the title,

235
00:41:52,740 --> 00:41:56,910
the things that can be remote, and things that can be hybrid.

236
00:41:58,410 --> 00:42:01,710
And so that is what we did. Can you go next Michael?

237
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,640
Oh, and this is our group right there. So we've been

238
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:14,730
working pretty good to get this up and running for everybody. See if I missed anything.

239
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:21,690
That's about it. Does anybody have any questions, for me? We might have another slide Michael. I'm not sure about that.

240
00:42:23,010 --> 00:42:23,790
But if not,

241
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:31,470
mine is done and I will pass this to Monica Garcia.

242
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,090
Monica Garcia: Hello everyone.

243
00:42:39,390 --> 00:42:41,670
So our group met

244
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,730
and our remote group name is we are;

245
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,430
next slide please?

246
00:42:49,230 --> 00:42:55,440
Our groups charter our work group charter is to look at processes and policies of

247
00:42:56,460 --> 00:43:04,470
what we've done so far and to look at the last 18 months. So what we've done in the past and look at what it's been happening in the last 18 months,

248
00:43:04,830 --> 00:43:11,190
and to make recommendations to formalize and create new policies of possible

249
00:43:11,970 --> 00:43:29,880
opportunities for remote work. Also what the group did is we met in late September and we reflected on the negative and the positive aspects of remote work. And after we had a discussion, a robust discussion

250
00:43:31,110 --> 00:43:43,320
about the positives and negatives of working remotely, we kind of talked to came together with some things to consider, in putting a policy together in reference to remote work.

251
00:43:44,190 --> 00:43:52,470
The next steps were after that we are going to submit those recommendations to the district to committee. Next slide please?

252
00:43:55,470 --> 00:44:02,940
So these are the things that we came up with to consider. We thought, maybe it would be important for us to consider two policies,

253
00:44:03,330 --> 00:44:10,770
in reference of the expectations of colleagues as well as the expectations of students. Our group, I failed to mention, our group is made up of

254
00:44:11,730 --> 00:44:24,570
faculty and staff, and one of them was coming together and trying to figure out what's the expectation of us, as a in our

255
00:44:25,770 --> 00:44:34,140
job duties in remote work. We found that during the time that we were working remotely, there wasn't any

256
00:44:35,130 --> 00:44:49,890
time to stop and really move away from remote working and our days seemed much longer than when we are in person. So we really wanted to consider some parameters and what the expectation is.

257
00:44:52,680 --> 00:45:03,870
And any policy that we do come up with that it'd be equitable and consider the needs of our students, as well as be above board, that everyone knows

258
00:45:04,830 --> 00:45:16,260
how and what the process is when it comes to working remotely. Take some consideration of those positions that really do not require them to interact with students or

259
00:45:16,980 --> 00:45:30,600
other faculty members that maybe they can fully go remote. And also what was interesting and came up a lot was to provide a comprehensive policy for parents, to provide some sort of ability for them to

260
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:41,910
figure out their schedule around their children, and when they are working that they're able to do so when their children are not at home.

261
00:45:42,420 --> 00:45:57,330
And so they can organize maybe their time with their partners or with childcare. And that way and it's more flexible for them. So these are the things that we put together for our next meeting. Thank you.

262
00:45:59,670 --> 00:46:01,080
And I'll send it now to Danielle.

263
00:46:03,510 --> 00:46:10,470
Danielle Kaprelian: Thank you Monica. You can move on to the next slide Michael. I'm just going to briefly talk about, Julius approached the library

264
00:46:11,100 --> 00:46:27,000
to ask us to help create a document repository for all the remote work groups. And so what we have here is just a SharePoint and I think Michael is going to put the link in the chat. The reason that we decided to use SharePoint was we wanted to make this a more interactive,

265
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:29,640
I guess, repository. So

266
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:35,850
Julius' hope is that this would be not just for Moorpark, but also Ventura College and Oxnard

267
00:46:36,420 --> 00:46:47,790
to access and add documents as they find them, so that we can share information with each other, really to see best practices and to be able to access research that maybe one group has

268
00:46:48,270 --> 00:46:57,780
discovered that they would like to share with the other groups. So all you have to do is click on the link and then we will get a notification. That's the one thing we weren't able to fix,

269
00:46:58,140 --> 00:47:04,620
exactly. We'll have to still approve you to be added to the group, but it goes to my email, so we can do it very quickly.

270
00:47:05,070 --> 00:47:10,860
Once you have access to the site, you can review all of the different folders and also

271
00:47:11,580 --> 00:47:28,320
input documents or upload documents if you'd like. You have the option to upload documents or also websites. So we have at the library been working on exploring these topics. These were topics provided by the president. And in each of them, and you can move to the next slide Michael.

272
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:38,610
In each of them, we have a sub folders within the topics. The example we have is just a sample policy. So we were just trying to find active

273
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:45,990
remote work policies from other community colleges, and we've uploaded them in there for everybody to access and view.

274
00:47:46,380 --> 00:47:51,960
And so we really want this just to be a resource that's helpful to all the people who are making decisions right now.

275
00:47:52,320 --> 00:48:04,020
And some of these are really also personal ones that I think could give you guidance and just your own remote work. So that's really all I have to say and so I'm going to pass it on to Mary.

276
00:48:05,580 --> 00:48:17,820
Mary: Thank you Danielle. Some really great work. Julius going to then take or the I guess the recommendations will then go to the district committee and the Chancellor. So

277
00:48:19,980 --> 00:48:25,260
we'll have to wait and see where all these great recommendations and work moves forward on that.

278
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:31,320
Julius there were just a couple of questions. Well, I guess, one is

279
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:38,400
just a reminder that general registration starts today. Please, please, please encourage your students,

280
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:50,010
your neighbors, your friends, your family members, we have classes available. Please start. Registration has opened for general registration. So

281
00:48:50,820 --> 00:49:03,540
do encourage everyone to take advantage of these wonderful opportunities we have. Julius there was a question about denials for religious or medical exemptions from the district from HR.

282
00:49:05,550 --> 00:49:14,370
Julius: So I saw the question was asking how many have happened so far. I don't have that information. We certainly can ask our

283
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:24,600
HR, Vice Chancellor and her staff to share that information with us, because it should be public knowledge, but I don't know exactly, how many have been

284
00:49:26,370 --> 00:49:32,160
by HR have been denied or at this point in time. We can get you that information.

285
00:49:33,420 --> 00:49:41,370
Mary: Thank you. And I think that was correct, I probably should have asked you, instead, so the timeline, that's again on remote work is recommendations are made,

286
00:49:41,820 --> 00:49:58,650
they'll go to the district remote work group that makes recommendations to the Chancellor, and it may or may not require board policy, and could be implemented at district, college so we're really probably, so it's a little bit up in the air still?

287
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:06,810
Julius: Well, I mean there is a question of what we do in the spring. So I think for me, for all of us, I think that's what's the most

288
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:20,010
glaring, because at this point, we have an MOU that allows for for staff and non-instructional faculty to work one to two days remotely,

289
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:31,350
given that it is the best for their areas and that sunsets on December 17, which is when the semester ends. So there is no

290
00:50:31,710 --> 00:50:41,670
MOU to go beyond that. So part of our recommendation in this group is what do we do for the spring semester. And that's why we want to make sure that we get that information to the Chancellor

291
00:50:43,110 --> 00:50:49,680
before this semester is over, so that way they can be decision made for the spring. So for me that's the priority.

292
00:50:50,670 --> 00:50:55,950
I see that there was a comment about waiting to the fall of 2022. We're not waiting till the fall of 2022.

293
00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:02,940
We need to make a recommendation that will go into effect for spring semester. So please be patient with us, but that is our goal

294
00:51:03,720 --> 00:51:09,930
that we will get that done so folks know what's happening. Yes, there is recommendations for beyond

295
00:51:10,620 --> 00:51:15,210
the spring semester. If you remember when we started this conversation was about the future of work.

296
00:51:15,660 --> 00:51:20,730
And so the kind of conversation by the future of work cannot happen in a month. Really, thank you to

297
00:51:21,150 --> 00:51:26,910
all of you who've participated in this work groups and thank you to the library folks to Danielle and her team there

298
00:51:27,150 --> 00:51:36,600
who are helping us gather the information, because we need to think through this and have resources from across various industries and sectors, so that we can make decisions that are

299
00:51:37,410 --> 00:51:46,680
thoughtful and can be put into practice. And then we'll pilot it and see how well it works, and then we go back to it. So that's the kind of frame and context for this.

300
00:51:47,340 --> 00:51:53,910
Just so that people understand, but we certainly will be making recommendations for the short term, which would be, what do we do in the spring.

301
00:51:54,510 --> 00:52:14,730
Mary: Thank you Julius and a correction, thank you so much Dave, open registration starts on the 17th. Today is new and returning students. So today is new and returning and open is on the 17th. So thank you for that correction. Julius do you have some additional comments

302
00:52:15,030 --> 00:52:18,090
for us before we go into the veterans video?

303
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:19,260
Julius: Yes, so

304
00:52:19,620 --> 00:52:21,330
I want to first of all

305
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:28,680
say a very big thank you to each and every one of you. It has been a tough year and a lot of levels for each one of us and

306
00:52:29,430 --> 00:52:45,330
as we come towards the end of the calendar year, at the end of this semester, and as we look towards next week, when we celebrate Thanksgiving and we celebrate Indigenous communities that have

307
00:52:46,410 --> 00:52:56,070
provided the context for us to build a civilization around in around and upon, I appreciate the work that you're each doing. And I know it's been a tough year,

308
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:08,070
we've not always agreed on things, but I would hope that the civility and the respect that we show one another and that we continue to do that. And I want to say a very big thank you

309
00:53:08,700 --> 00:53:17,460
to those individuals who, on every given day they come to this campus, they come to this college, either virtually or in person,

310
00:53:17,910 --> 00:53:29,160
and they give their very best. You are the ones, each one of you, you know yourselves are the ones who help us continue to accomplish the stellar reputation of this institution.

311
00:53:29,730 --> 00:53:39,720
I also want to say very big thank you to our students, who remind us as to why we're here and who by their presence

312
00:53:40,890 --> 00:53:45,090
affirm for us that we're in the human development business, and we should never forget that.

313
00:53:46,470 --> 00:53:53,760
I want to thank our faculty, and our staff, and our administrators, you cannot have a college without students, but you also cannot have a college

314
00:53:54,210 --> 00:54:06,720
without the support staff will make it happen on a daily basis. For all of those individuals who've worked on campus over the past year and, a year and a half,

315
00:54:07,590 --> 00:54:15,180
and who continued to come while most of us were working remotely, I want to also thank you for that. I know that's your job, that's what you're supposed to do, but

316
00:54:15,660 --> 00:54:33,060
while everybody was concerned about safety, you made that effort and you are here, and I appreciate that. What I would like us to do at this moment is in the spirit of the moment on Thanksgiving and celebrating the harvest, which is what our

317
00:54:34,530 --> 00:54:35,490
Native American

318
00:54:37,500 --> 00:54:45,600
brothers and sisters would have done, I would appreciate, if you could please put into the Q&A, a word, a phrase, an expression

319
00:54:46,290 --> 00:54:55,050
something that you are thankful for. If you could please go ahead and do that I appreciate you sharing what you're thankful for in the Q&A box right now.

320
00:54:56,790 --> 00:54:58,860
We'll give another minute or so to do that.

321
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,160
Thank you. I'm seeing kindness, family,

322
00:55:15,750 --> 00:55:17,610
family, friends,

323
00:55:22,170 --> 00:55:23,460
open minds,

324
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,790
the love of family and friends, Mother Nature,

325
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,030
good health, health,

326
00:55:38,700 --> 00:55:40,830
friends, family, and love,

327
00:55:43,290 --> 00:55:47,190
being able to meet with our amazing peers on campus, again. Thank you.

328
00:55:50,070 --> 00:55:51,360
For our kids.

329
00:55:52,410 --> 00:55:55,530
For kindness. The beauty of the natural world.

330
00:55:56,790 --> 00:55:57,600
Good health.

331
00:55:59,940 --> 00:56:01,800
Family, friends, and health again.

332
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:04,470
Community. Thank you.

333
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:22,110
Creating bridges. Thank you.

334
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:44,370
Amanuel, would you go ahead and see that you'd like to answer the question live? Please go ahead.

335
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:00,660
Amanuel: Sorry, that was a typo Julius.

336
00:57:00,930 --> 00:57:02,610
Julius: Okay, no worries.

337
00:57:05,730 --> 00:57:12,210
Julius: Thank you everyone for your comments and for your insight.

338
00:57:13,980 --> 00:57:25,260
I wish you and your families, and your loved ones, and your community the peace and the joy and the thankfullness that comes with the season.

339
00:57:26,070 --> 00:57:37,170
We will continue by celebrating our veterans. Veterans Day was last week, Thursday and some of you

340
00:57:37,740 --> 00:57:44,280
may have had the opportunity to see a video that was created by our Veterans Resource Center in partnership with our

341
00:57:44,940 --> 00:57:55,320
marketing communications folks. Kudos and thank you to Dina and Oleg and to their team, as well as to Johnny and Nikki and

342
00:57:56,040 --> 00:58:07,710
our wonderful, wonderful and thoughful veterans, both alumns and current veterans. So thank you for your service. Thank you for continuing to

343
00:58:08,190 --> 00:58:23,100
help enrich our community and putting service at the forefront of our humanity. We can go ahead and run the video now. I know some of you may have already seen it, but for those who haven't, please stay with us for the extra additional minutes and do so.
