1
00:00:09,210 --> 00:00:12,360
Mary Rees: Good afternoon. We're going to take just a minute and let people join us.

2
00:00:12,390 --> 00:00:14,040
Hope everyone is doing well.

3
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,930
Good afternoon. We'll wait one more minute, and then we'll get started.

4
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:42,120
Well, good afternoon, and thank you all for joining us. September 28 already, it's amazing how this semester is flying by.

5
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:54,870
So thank you so much. I want to remind you that the webinar is being recorded the transcri- it will be transcribed and it will be posted on the President's website

6
00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:11,100
for any that do miss it and do want to go back and look at it, the update is also closed captioned, so if you click at the bottom of your screen, the CCs you will be able to see the update in as closed caption.

7
00:02:16,410 --> 00:02:23,070
If we look at our agenda today we have a really I think a lot of solid information for people today. We do have

8
00:02:23,970 --> 00:02:38,460
update from from President Sokenu, some instructional updates, student services updates and then we have a lot of information about our ongoing safety program here and our campus screening,

9
00:02:39,510 --> 00:02:52,200
Sharon is going to be talking to us about contact tracing, and then we have a record out from one of our social justice theme groups with some really interesting information about what's on going on the campus. Good afternoon, Julius.

10
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:01,080
Julius Sokenu: I'm muted. Hi, Mary. Hi, everyone. Thank you so much for joining us this afternoon.

11
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:07,290
Yeah, it's noon. Again, I hope you had a restful weekend and

12
00:03:08,910 --> 00:03:28,680
as we see the semesters is going quickly. I do want to start by thanking those who helped put together some really fantastic programs over the past two weeks Constitution Day, the 17th of September was very well organized. Thank you to our

13
00:03:29,790 --> 00:03:40,470
Kristen and the folks from our Student Activities area, as well as to Professor Rolland Petrello and

14
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:49,080
the panel of alumni from our college who just were distinguished and they are a testament to the

15
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:56,250
wonderful work that we do at Moorpark College and that work then sort of reverberates out into the world and this

16
00:03:56,670 --> 00:04:07,260
is our alumni who are now working in Washington, DC, who are now working in a variety of social justice programs as well as government policy

17
00:04:07,830 --> 00:04:17,070
areas and so we are, we are proud to have them not only be Moorpark College alumni, but to be able to speak to us about the value of that education.

18
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:40,770
We also had a Latinx Heritage Month event panel discussion and lecture by Professor Thomas Carrasco on last week, and thank you to the panelists and the coordinators of that activity, Professor Tammy Coleman, Dr. Josepha Baca, and Dr. Marnie Melendez,

19
00:04:41,790 --> 00:04:54,420
as well as others who are involved in multicultural committee programming in putting together a fascinating and engaging discussion of identity and

20
00:04:55,530 --> 00:05:12,840
and really objectives in naming. Again, I also do want to say a big thank you to the folks who put together a fantastic Guided Pathways retreat on Friday, kudos goes to Tracie Allen, Dr. Traci Allen,

21
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:15,750
Dr. Khushnur Dadabhoy,

22
00:05:17,190 --> 00:05:23,940
for those who are part of our planning for Guided Pathways and supporting us in this work, Professor Nenagh Brown,

23
00:05:24,750 --> 00:05:34,260
Claudia Sitlington from our first FYE program, and if I'm forgetting anyone's name. I apologize it was not intentional, but I just wanted to say that that event,

24
00:05:34,860 --> 00:05:42,810
again, like all the work we're doing around Guided Pathways, is aimed at helping support and build capacity for our students and

25
00:05:43,470 --> 00:05:52,350
the fact that we were able to re energize and engage classified professionals, faculty, and students on that activity

26
00:05:52,830 --> 00:06:03,240
is a reflection of the commitment of this campus to making sure that the student experience is not honored, but it is fully enhanced.

27
00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:16,140
I do want to talk with you today about this medium in which we find ourselves, particularly sort of the medium of Zoom and the impact that this is having on some of our lives.

28
00:06:16,980 --> 00:06:31,680
Like, you know, many of us and I'm thinking of the 130 participants that are online right now, this is probably not your first Zoom meeting of the day, or your first Zoom interaction of the day and other kinds of

29
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:44,400
video or streamlining platforms and which you engage with with your students, you engage with your colleagues, and with the larger community and as, as you all know, I mean there is

30
00:06:45,180 --> 00:06:56,550
fatigue of that comes with engaging in this way that is not often always as complimentary, but we are trying as best as possible to make it as functional as it can be.

31
00:06:56,970 --> 00:07:08,310
Part of that is that there is a human dynamic element that is often missing, but there's also just the context of going from one meeting to the other, which we already would have,

32
00:07:08,940 --> 00:07:12,960
you know, when we are on ground, but doing this in this context where

33
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:27,390
the human interaction and engagement is somewhat limited is creating fatigue and we just want I just want to acknowledge that and acknowledge the fact that we're all really doing our very best and you're all being spectacular

34
00:07:27,930 --> 00:07:35,670
and invested in the way which we engage with one another, but I also ask you to please, please, please, take care of yourselves.

35
00:07:37,020 --> 00:07:44,340
You know, it is challenging, we're dealing with a pandemic, we're dealing with, you know, economic uncertainty,

36
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:57,750
we're dealing with, you know, issues of race, and ethnicity, and culture, and struggling with the issues that have always been in the community and in the culture, but we're now doing it in the context of a pandemic.

37
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:12,720
Moorpark College is known for its innovation and its excellence, and we're also known for being the meeting capital of the world. We meet, you know, a lot. Anybody who's been through this institution will tell you that it can be a benefit, but it can also be

38
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:25,260
a challenge for us. So I asked that as we go through the course of this semester, that we give ourselves some grace. Actually, I says we've gone through the course of this year,

39
00:08:25,950 --> 00:08:33,720
that we give ourselves some grace and that first of all we really be very aware of stressors in our environment

40
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:44,250
and how we can make sure that we are decreasing those stressors, practices to decrease those stressors. Student Health Center facilitated a

41
00:08:44,850 --> 00:08:53,160
workshop a couple of weeks back and got some really good insight from that workshop and one of that insight is that folks feel stressed,

42
00:08:53,640 --> 00:09:10,050
and folks feel extra stressed because they feel that they have to be on screen or online all the time and take it from me I am telling you that it is okay for you not to be on screen every single moment of the day,

43
00:09:11,430 --> 00:09:21,690
and I know that, you know, it might be easier said than done, but I hope that you will listen to it that there is no, no one is assuming that you're shirking your responsibilities by not being

44
00:09:21,930 --> 00:09:27,120
being online, you know, we can tell who's online and what's available every minute of the work day.

45
00:09:27,660 --> 00:09:34,140
If you were on campus, you would work, you would walk from your desk to another office to go deliver something or you might be

46
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:43,410
on a phone call, you'd be doing a variety of things over the course of that day that allows you to extend yourself that allows you to stand up and exercise in some way,

47
00:09:43,740 --> 00:09:58,230
and that gives you a change of scenery and environment that is not often available or easily readily available through Zoom. Please, please, please take care of those needs, please don't feel like you have to be shackled to your

48
00:09:59,310 --> 00:10:15,450
screen. I'm trying my best to make sure I don't feel that way and I hope that you will as well. So that's my, that's one of the feedback from this, that give yourself permission, I am giving myself permission, and I hope that you will give yourself permission not to be

49
00:10:18,390 --> 00:10:20,520
for lack of a better word, you know,

50
00:10:22,740 --> 00:10:36,690
constricted that way it is not good for our health and our well being. I also ask that you please continue to watch out for the health and well being of our colleagues, as we engage in this context, we have less

51
00:10:38,250 --> 00:10:46,680
you know, human one on on,e face to face interactions, but you know, you could see somebody, they're having a bad day on a screen call reach out to them, please,

52
00:10:47,580 --> 00:10:51,120
you know, let's make sure that in our departments and in our divisions

53
00:10:51,870 --> 00:10:57,420
that we do have conversations about healthy ways of engaging and healthy ways of maintaining community.

54
00:10:57,660 --> 00:11:11,160
So I again implore you to please look at ways in which you as a group in your office, what's appropriate for your program or your area of work to engage in a way that will nurture your humanity and support your health and well being.

55
00:11:12,060 --> 00:11:19,530
Lets see Zoom fatigue conversation... the next piece has to do with enrollment and enrollment management.

56
00:11:20,850 --> 00:11:35,280
Thank you. Thank you, Michael. So I present this information to you, just to give you some insight, in terms of how we do any enrollment wise and we're currently conducting

57
00:11:36,660 --> 00:11:49,560
just a review of our reporting mechanisms and this will probably change in the next month or so some of this data will, but what is important for us to celebrate is that

58
00:11:50,820 --> 00:12:04,440
Summer 2020 we were quite productive and we were able to meet the needs of multiple students and many more students than we had anticipated and the data you see in front of you is really for our

59
00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:14,610
sections ending after July 1. So this was sessions that ended in August, the ones the four week summer sessions is not on there right now,

60
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:26,910
but what you see is that we had targeted 1,008 FTES, and we actually ended up with 1,133 so 12.5% increase. For the fall, we're not doing as well.

61
00:12:28,170 --> 00:12:33,660
Our target was 5,043 and we're actually 4,360,

62
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:50,460
which shows a 14% change from the previous year. The spring our targets, our target is 4,623, that was our actual for last spring, and so we use that as our target for the next spring.

63
00:12:51,060 --> 00:13:09,000
The reality of it as you've seen and as we're seeing is that spring is always inevitably lower enrollment and lower FTES, but in this Covid context we're expecting that we probably will not hit the 4623. So part of our work is to try and make sure that

64
00:13:10,170 --> 00:13:18,210
we do hit it, but if we don't that we retain the students who are here right from the start in through the current, through the semester.

65
00:13:19,020 --> 00:13:29,010
We are looking, hoping that, you know, by the summer that we will have a vaccine and that will be able to be back on campus, or at least more back on campus than we are now,

66
00:13:29,250 --> 00:13:36,810
and that will also help us grow our enrollment for the summer, and what you see here is the target for the four week summer,

67
00:13:38,190 --> 00:13:45,540
the courses that end before July 1 and that target is 432 FTES, which was our

68
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:53,970
actual for this four week summer. Thank you for that. Let's see, what else do I want to share...

69
00:13:55,620 --> 00:14:09,930
Thank you to the folks who serve on our various governance committees, and represent departments, and help do the work, the governance work at the college, Dr. Erik Reese our Academic Senate President has forwarded the

70
00:14:11,130 --> 00:14:22,740
goals and accomplishments of the committees to me and I'm in process of reviewing those, but I see such dynamic and such generative work happening and it is

71
00:14:24,660 --> 00:14:42,990
it is to be commended and you're to be commended for the work you've done even though we spent really a good chunk of the spring semester on transitioning to online and then learning to engage and do our governance work online and we thank you so much for that piece.

72
00:14:44,250 --> 00:14:52,710
Let's see, there's a lot of wonderful programming happening on campus, and happening on online. I'm sorry online, well it's on campus, I guess,

73
00:14:53,760 --> 00:15:10,170
and one of them is a cultural competency workshop that is sponsored by our Classified Senate and we are, you know, looking forward to that conversation and those interactions. Okay, I will pass this on to the next individual, thank you Mary.

74
00:15:10,830 --> 00:15:16,470
Mary: Julius, there were two questions, if you could just re-clarify for people. For late starts,

75
00:15:16,710 --> 00:15:23,130
those numbers they're wondering whether the late start numbers for October classes are included in the, the numbers.

76
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,890
Julius: They are included if they're registered already.

77
00:15:26,940 --> 00:15:27,360
Mary: Thank you.

78
00:15:27,660 --> 00:15:29,610
Julius: If they haven't registered then they wouldn't be in there.

79
00:15:30,180 --> 00:15:37,290
Mary: Thank you. And also, they just wanted you to go over again, the two big numbers, which was the target for fall and the actual for fall.

80
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,250
Julius: Okay, let's go back. So the target for fall was 5,043 FTES,

81
00:15:44,250 --> 00:15:48,270
so the second, it says total fall,

82
00:15:49,410 --> 00:16:09,900
that was the target and what actually is happening as of now, and this is as of this morning at 2 a.m. is 4,360 actual FTES, and you will see there were 683 FTES short it is showing 14% from last year,

83
00:16:11,310 --> 00:16:24,150
and that's, so that's the total fall 2020. Summer 2020 is what I said earlier 1,088 was actually our target and we hit 1,133.

84
00:16:24,930 --> 00:16:31,230
Mary: Thank you and people are going to probably be a little confused what you've got there independent weekly and independent daily.

85
00:16:31,620 --> 00:16:34,440
What we're looking at here, if I understand correctly, is that

86
00:16:34,860 --> 00:16:47,250
with going to online and our online synchronous versus asynchronous, there's different accounting methods for these different systems. So we're going to be seeing some changes in all of this, as we get used to the new accounting methods.

87
00:16:47,820 --> 00:16:48,630
Julius: Correct, thank you Mary.

88
00:16:49,950 --> 00:16:50,160
Mary: Great,

89
00:16:50,280 --> 00:17:04,290
thank you, Julius. I think the big message that Julius was giving here and I, is that we just, owe you all a huge thank you for this incredible work, all of those students that you are supporting,

90
00:17:04,830 --> 00:17:21,660
from the faculty, staff, and administration are supporting and both emotionally from your student services side and also from the instructional side, helping them move towards their goals, and helping them provide some stability in their very

91
00:17:23,460 --> 00:17:37,440
unchange- or very changing world around. So a huge thank you to all as we're moving in kind of the, the middle here of the semester. Hopefully we're into a little bit of a cycle and we can really keep

92
00:17:38,550 --> 00:17:47,790
our students moving forward. I think one thing we need to also think about too is the fact about spring, we talk about that those numbers will go down.

93
00:17:50,550 --> 00:17:59,160
We could draw, maybe try to change that and say, you know, we don't want to give in and say that spring should be down because that means that the students were taking

94
00:18:00,420 --> 00:18:06,450
classes in the fall and either it didn't meet their needs, it's not what they wanted,

95
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:15,360
there was some complexity came up, their life got more complicated, lots and lots of issues, why students drop out between fall and spring,

96
00:18:15,660 --> 00:18:28,050
but I think we could look at it and we have some resources with CARES to try to address some of those issues on a support side as well as on the academic side, to look at what we can do to help our students

97
00:18:28,890 --> 00:18:37,320
to retain our students from the fall to the spring. So a huge thank you on that and a huge thank you to everyone, keeping our students safe.

98
00:18:37,770 --> 00:18:47,640
One of the ways we're doing it is everyone knows, hopefully about our pre-screening that looks at symptoms before, clears people before to come onto campus,

99
00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:55,800
and then John Everlove is going to be talking about where we have our screening tents. So a lot, need to really focus on that.

100
00:18:56,340 --> 00:19:07,500
Another thing is, after they get through the screening tents, so that we can know where students go and know how to contact students, Sharon's going to talk about our contact tracing process,

101
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:15,930
but we definitely need people to make sure that everyone uses the QR codes that are going to, we've been talking about those for over a month now,

102
00:19:16,380 --> 00:19:30,270
but they're going to be these QR codes in the classrooms, around in the workplace, and so when your students come into those areas, we do need them to click in, basically login that they're in that area. If your

103
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:36,990
staff members are working in a particular area, we need you to log in that that's, you know, through the QR code that that's where you are.

104
00:19:37,530 --> 00:19:52,200
If we do have a problem, we need those kind of information to reach out and appropriately contact anyone that might be exposed. So in order to help us with both of these processes we need people to use the QR codes.

105
00:19:53,460 --> 00:19:53,760
Okay.

106
00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:02,340
I want to thank you for all the great work on social distancing. So we have had a few more people, group, students on campus,

107
00:20:02,670 --> 00:20:12,210
with the IC classes. We're going to bring in additional groups on hopefully in another week or so, and we do want to go and try to implement our full plan.

108
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:19,290
Remember we had our tier ones and our tier twos, only those outcomes that were going to be required to be on campus.

109
00:20:19,950 --> 00:20:31,980
We're still focusing on that we still want to be very clear about who can come on campus and who can't. If you weren't in the class that was already been approved to be on campus, you need to get approval

110
00:20:32,730 --> 00:20:42,750
to come into class onto campus through your dean, so that's that process is still or you need to be on the essential employees list for the staff. So

111
00:20:43,110 --> 00:20:47,760
those criterias are still ongoing, because we can't let down our

112
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:57,990
focus on safety. This is a critical time we've opened up, you know, we've got a fair number of students that are are working towards their goals and we need them to

113
00:20:58,380 --> 00:21:06,510
provide a safe as environment as possible. So we can't let down on our safety, we need to be following all of our processes in that.

114
00:21:07,890 --> 00:21:10,920
Lets see if there were other specific...

115
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:23,940
Amanuel, do you have questions or comments on? Oh, I'm sorry. I have two other things. Excuse me. I just wanted to point out for everyone about the

116
00:21:24,780 --> 00:21:34,050
there's a great deal, large number of social justice presentations ongoing, we have one going on on this Wednesday that is being

117
00:21:34,710 --> 00:21:44,010
sponsored by our athletic department and includes our student athlete panel. And so that's on Wednesday from 4 to 5.

118
00:21:44,670 --> 00:21:59,520
That I hope that you can join us for that. You'll notice that this is a webinar, we've had multiple, Julius talked about some fantastic things we've been having going on campus from our Constitution Day, our Guided Pathways day,

119
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:14,430
our wonderful Latinx Day, there's a lot of different programs that are ongoing. If your group or if you're looking at putting on a large zoom meeting or a webinar,

120
00:22:15,750 --> 00:22:36,390
Matt and group are offering some training. So that's going to be a week from today from noon to 1, so, kind of in the alternate space here from the update and they'll talk about the comparison of when does Zoom, versus doing Zoom meeting versus a webinar, what

121
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:47,280
some of the characteristics, so that you can have as best interaction and still have appropriate control so that there's not the distraction or

122
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,880
frustration that can generate

123
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:59,550
if a meeting goes sideways on that. So that's a great webinar that will be next Wednesday. I mean, next Monday. Excuse me.

124
00:23:00,870 --> 00:23:01,380
Amanuel?

125
00:23:02,550 --> 00:23:08,190
Amanuel Gebru: Thank you Mary. I also want to echo the same sentiments as Julius, of taking care of ourselves and one another,

126
00:23:08,790 --> 00:23:19,350
and then also really just thanking everyone, for the excellent work that's happening on campus virtually and also on campus with the few faculty and staff that are supporting our students.

127
00:23:20,250 --> 00:23:31,950
So few updates from Associated Students and Kristen Robinson, the Associated Students at Moorpark College are now offering digital IDs to students who purchased them through the portal,

128
00:23:32,430 --> 00:23:42,210
students will receive a message to their MyVCCCD email inviting them to download a special app and upload their photos for approval.

129
00:23:42,660 --> 00:23:50,850
The digital IDs will be the default ID students receive now, the physical IDs will be available upon request.

130
00:23:51,630 --> 00:23:59,340
Students can learn more about student ID cards and I'll post the website on the chat in a few minutes.

131
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:09,450
Also, this is a time of year where we usually have virtual club rush, I mean, on campus club rush, but the plan is underway for our virtual club rush event,

132
00:24:09,870 --> 00:24:22,410
which is scheduled for Friday, October 9 and also Saturday, October 10, from 12 to 2 each day, more information as forthcoming, but please share this with your students

133
00:24:23,250 --> 00:24:33,420
now, so they can start planning ahead so faculty and staff please share this information with all the students. And then also just reminder from Raider Central and Johnny Conley,

134
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:47,220
that we continue to host our grab and go on Fridays, the grab and go is held in parking lot H, which is adjacent to the field hockey complex from 12 to 4.

135
00:24:48,150 --> 00:24:57,210
Also want to share some good news, some great news, the Ventura County Community Foundation are donating $50,000 to our Raider Central,

136
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:13,200
which is excellent in terms of what we can continue to do to support our community and our students. So I want to thank the Foundation for their commitment in supporting our students and also helping us receive this additional $50,000, that's going to go to our Raider Central.

137
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:28,140
Total students we've served to date at Raider Central we've served 107 students, 139 bags and boxes of food distributed, 334 student familys members assisted.

138
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:41,250
So we just want to continue pushing the information out. Please continue let the students know that we're here to support them and make sure that they have food and support so that they can focus on their studies.

139
00:25:42,300 --> 00:25:52,350
Also want to share from Cynthia Sheaks-McGowan zero textbook cost courses, this fall we are offering 251 zero textbook costs,

140
00:25:52,740 --> 00:26:00,840
ZTC designated courses on campus, which is substantial increase over the last fall when we offer 104 ZTC courses.

141
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:13,860
This past spring we had 172 courses, this increase reflects the hard work and dedication of many of our faculty as well as better reporting of our availability from ZTC courses.

142
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:20,670
Please make sure your courses are properly designed, designated in the schedule of classes.

143
00:26:21,060 --> 00:26:37,920
If you have fall classes that weren't identified, please let Cynthia Sheaks-McGowan know and let's make sure we get this on our spring schedule of courses as well. So thank you Cynthia for your leadership on this and your work with all the folks, you're working with.

144
00:26:40,140 --> 00:26:46,410
And then in terms of just communication with our students from our virtual welcome center,

145
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:58,560
we're sending an email and text messages to all of our students encourage them to enroll in our October and November late start classes, as you saw some of our information for our

146
00:26:59,220 --> 00:27:07,470
FTES from Julius, we're continuing to communicate with students, we're continuing to text them and figure out ways to connect with them,

147
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:23,760
but the best source is you faculty. If you have students that have drug classes that need additional resources, please refer them to our virtual welcome center and have them make an appointment with our counselors to get them in classes in October or even November.

148
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,280
So I will put that

149
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:36,150
link for our services with the phone number. And then also, we're open Monday through Friday from 8 to 7. We're taking phone calls.

150
00:27:36,540 --> 00:27:44,160
Our virtual welcome center continues to support our students and we still also have Paul Mattson who's our evening attendant who is

151
00:27:44,940 --> 00:27:53,640
working with our virtual welcome center to ensure we support students that are taking classes. Late in the evenings. In addition to our folks that are on campus as well.

152
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,560
Mary: A couple questions for you when you're finished. There

153
00:27:59,340 --> 00:28:06,000
Amanuel: Sure. And then also want to just walk on, Sergio Gonzalez, who's our new director of Dual Enrollment.

154
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:15,480
He comes with extensive experience in outreach and Dual Enrollment from Pierce College will be sending out his bio and information this week.

155
00:28:15,870 --> 00:28:28,560
If he hasn't met you already, he'll look forward to meeting, connecting with you virtually, but I want to just welcome him to the Moorpark family and we're excited for him to have us join our MC team and also our Dual Enrollment team.

156
00:28:30,420 --> 00:28:32,520
Mary, there was some questions for me on the

157
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:44,370
chat? [Mary]: There was, there was a question and addicted answered by Kristen, but maybe you could talk about it too, whether students can still get a physical ID and how if they wanted to have a physical ID what they should do.

158
00:28:45,180 --> 00:28:49,950
Amanuel: Yes, I believe they can still get a physical ID available upon request.

159
00:28:51,060 --> 00:28:59,100
So I'll post a link on the on the chat and we'll be able to get more information in terms of the student IDs.

160
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:00,450
Mary: Thank you.

161
00:29:02,610 --> 00:29:09,510
Amanuel: And then last, I just want to hand this off to John is the next person, unless there's additional questions on the chat.

162
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,860
John I believe you're up next. Thank you.

163
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:25,530
John Everlove: Thank you Amanuel. I appreciate it. Thank you everyone for joining us this afternoon. We've got a couple of big changes to our screening locations

164
00:29:25,950 --> 00:29:35,940
at Moorpark College. Our procedure is staying the same, and has been very effective. We're very grateful for everybody's support and participation in the process to keep everyone safe.

165
00:29:36,540 --> 00:29:46,650
In an effort to secure locations for the long term, we have moved them to fixed locations on the campus and we are no longer using a tent,

166
00:29:47,070 --> 00:29:55,260
as our screening sites. So the picture you see right now is the old location for the PA screening tent,

167
00:29:55,710 --> 00:30:06,330
located right at the base of the PA parking lot and by the bus stops, that tent has been moved, and there is now a screening location that is right next to the PA building,

168
00:30:06,810 --> 00:30:14,940
against the building towards the front with a walkway access from the same parking lot in the same location. The screening location

169
00:30:15,690 --> 00:30:23,970
will be there for the rest of the fall semester and then during the spring semester to accommodate our long term needs.

170
00:30:24,630 --> 00:30:32,040
The process again has been very successful, and so we're committed to this process at least through the spring 2021 semester.

171
00:30:32,910 --> 00:30:46,110
In this location, specifically, that means that the M tent or the Music tent location has been broken down and we have consolidated both the PA and M tent locations to this

172
00:30:46,650 --> 00:30:54,630
location here. So no more tents. Everybody can come to the same place, park in the same location and receive the exact same screening

173
00:30:54,870 --> 00:31:05,430
procedure that we've been doing from the beginning, and again, just to echo what you've already heard, and what you'll continue to hear, the efficacy of this program is based on your participation,

174
00:31:05,820 --> 00:31:12,240
and willingness to use the phone app for the healthy return to campus

175
00:31:12,690 --> 00:31:21,960
health passers. That is really the key to success and keeping you safe and keeping us safe here on campus. For the other locations, I put together a new map.

176
00:31:22,470 --> 00:31:32,790
This map is going to be uploaded to the websites and to the social media sites and in an effort to keep everybody updated so we'll go to that.

177
00:31:34,380 --> 00:31:36,210
The, the maps,

178
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:47,130
the map is the same configuration as it was before, but you'll notice the green boxes have been moved. So the location. I just showed you is the PA screening location,

179
00:31:47,610 --> 00:31:58,080
and you'll see on the left portion of your screen, another green box for the Academic Center screening location, instead of being at the top of the stairs,

180
00:31:58,620 --> 00:32:08,850
from parking lot F that screening location has been moved to the front of the Academic Center building, you can still access every place you need to go on campus,

181
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:19,830
it'll just allow you to park, walk directly to the screen location, and then make your way on campus from there. Again, the location has changed, but the process remains exactly the same.

182
00:32:20,460 --> 00:32:30,960
And lastly, in an effort to meet the needs for EATM, and their are large staff and large body of students, we have moved a screening location up to the EATM site,

183
00:32:31,590 --> 00:32:37,740
right in front of the Administration building or the lecture hall number 208 and right at the zoo entrance.

184
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:44,910
That location, as all of our locations can be used for anyone coming on campus at any time and going anywhere,

185
00:32:45,270 --> 00:32:52,500
it's just that this is going to serve our needs for a large population that attends the Exotic Animal Training Management programs.

186
00:32:53,190 --> 00:32:59,580
So I really appreciate everybody's patience, I really appreciate everyone's support through this process and their commitment to keeping us safe.

187
00:32:59,970 --> 00:33:10,920
Thank you for your courtesy to our screeners, and thank you to all the screeners for their hard work and efforts on behalf of the campus, the community, and our students, faculty, and staff.

188
00:33:11,850 --> 00:33:27,690
The important part of this process is the pre-screening, but also in an effort to keep everyone safe, we are also committed to the contact tracing process, and I'd like to invite Sharon Manakas to talk more about that, and thank you, Sharon for your support.

189
00:33:40,650 --> 00:33:42,390
Sharon Manakas: Hello everybody, thank you John.

190
00:33:43,410 --> 00:33:49,650
Thank you for this opportunity to talk about our the contact tracing component which is a Student Health Center's

191
00:33:50,280 --> 00:34:00,120
responsibility and Mary talked about QR codes before, and I'm gonna try and re-emphasize why that's so important and that's our key to doing contact tracing.

192
00:34:00,750 --> 00:34:10,620
So, when a student or employee has documented that they have any symptoms or a positive test, that all goes into that app,

193
00:34:11,460 --> 00:34:18,000
and that's where the health center starts doing its work. We gather data, we're assessing the risk,

194
00:34:18,390 --> 00:34:28,980
and then go into action, and part of that action is timely notification of students and faculty and the contact tracing part allows us to do that.

195
00:34:29,730 --> 00:34:50,910
We are looking at whether or not individuals should be in quarantine or isolation and class cancellations and we are doing this in concert with Ventura County Public Health as needed. The QR codes are going to be in the classroom, so as students enter and the instructor enters to please

196
00:34:52,260 --> 00:35:03,000
scan those QR codes that will quickly tell us if we were to have a student notify us later or an employee notify us later who they might have come in contact with.

197
00:35:04,470 --> 00:35:13,830
So for buildings for classified going in will have QR codes on the outside of those if you can go ahead and scan those as well.

198
00:35:14,580 --> 00:35:29,430
The pre-screening that's been taking place has been wonderful, and we have been reaching out to everyone who is showing that they're symptomatic, all students and faculty if they scan the QR codes that is wonderful and we need your

199
00:35:30,630 --> 00:35:31,140
your

200
00:35:32,310 --> 00:35:39,750
cooperation to make us be able to do our jobs more effectively. So when should you notify the health center?

201
00:35:40,830 --> 00:35:47,550
If you or test positive for Covid 19 or start developing any symptoms,

202
00:35:48,300 --> 00:35:56,400
you need to let us know if you've been notified by a student by email or phone call that they're become symptomatic and tested,

203
00:35:56,730 --> 00:36:07,080
we need to know right away so that we can contact the individual, figure out what we've got going on, and figure out whether or not we've got a campus exposure,

204
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:17,250
and I've listed on here some of the important information that we're going to need to know from you: what classroom or office location was in use,

205
00:36:17,970 --> 00:36:27,750
if and the students name and ID number, the name of your course, the number of students in the class, the activities that were taking place,

206
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:44,940
length of class, and the confirmation that you were following social distance and mask wearing. All these lists of things are all what Ventura County Public Health is asking us for it all goes into the equation and making the assessment of what the next steps are going to be.

207
00:36:47,160 --> 00:37:00,150
And we just appreciate your cooperation in keeping this campus safe. For those of you that are not on campus, these rules don't necessarily apply, but if we were to have a student who

208
00:37:00,540 --> 00:37:17,880
is not feeling well, or has been Covid positive, letting us know we can always follow up with them as well and make sure that they are following good procedures in their own health and keeping safe as well as keeping those around them safe.

209
00:37:19,830 --> 00:37:20,370
Thank you.

210
00:37:22,590 --> 00:37:25,530
Mary: Thank you John and Sharon, particularly for

211
00:37:26,730 --> 00:37:39,660
organizing and providing such leadership for all of our safety programs. John that looked like there were several people that had trouble seeing the map. Where could they also find the map of the location of the screening tents?

212
00:37:50,250 --> 00:38:02,910
Well, I can answer that for him. I know that they will have those online. So we will, we can send an email out to the campus. We can also just post it, it is on our web page. So that

213
00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:10,830
there also is signage on camp- that does point towards from the parking areas towards where the screening tests are

214
00:38:11,250 --> 00:38:24,390
so if you weren't able to see the map, we will have the map on the web page, and there will be signs on campus to alert you to the location, the new locations of the screening tent.

215
00:38:25,110 --> 00:38:33,480
There was also questions about the location of the food pantry, some concerns about lack of availability of a truck to move food down.

216
00:38:34,140 --> 00:38:48,240
I think that that's going to be something that we're going to need to continue to work on as Amanuel mentioned, we do have additional resources. So, we will have the group really look at what we can do safely and fit into our safety plans and yet

217
00:38:49,620 --> 00:38:52,140
effectively and offer these

218
00:38:53,370 --> 00:39:15,210
the food and other resources to our students and that. So, we will look into that. Sharon, the reason the need for prompt notification if somebody is exposed, does get a positive for Covid, either a student that's been on campus or faculty or staff,

219
00:39:16,380 --> 00:39:22,650
if one waits to till one feels better is that an adequate way for us to handle it?

220
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:24,780
Sharon: No.

221
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:37,170
We, we need to know as soon as possible, because part of what our process is, is asking further clarifying questions with that student about what is going on,

222
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:54,450
and is this something new, is this what has been their behavior. So the sooner that we know we have a issue at hand, the sooner that we can go in and make that assessment and make a determination of the next steps to take, in order to keep this campus safe.

223
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:04,440
Mary: Thank you Sharon, because in fact it's even you go several days before symptoms as far as notifying people, is that correct?

224
00:40:04,770 --> 00:40:22,500
Sharon: Correct. That by the time somebody comes into exhibiting symptoms, then they're contagious at least two days prior, when we're making our determination. So all of these components add into that making decisions.

225
00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:33,390
Mary: So pre-screening, screening tent, wristband, and QR codes, right, and social distancing and mask.

226
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:37,830
Thank you.

227
00:40:41,490 --> 00:40:50,910
The screening locations are in the should be in the Q A or chat and Dina is also going to post them online. So we should have that covered. Great. Thank you so much.

228
00:40:52,050 --> 00:41:03,360
Daniella, thank you for meeting with us today and going through some of the work of social justice, theme one workgroup as well as the resources at the Library.

229
00:41:05,910 --> 00:41:06,630
Danielle Kaprelian: Thank you Mary.

230
00:41:08,070 --> 00:41:16,740
Hi everyone, my name is Danielle and one of the librarians here, and the first thing I'm going to be talking about today is actually from the social justice theme one workgroup.

231
00:41:18,660 --> 00:41:21,360
Could just advance the slide. So,

232
00:41:22,740 --> 00:41:40,950
I actually was contacted by two separate people on this, it was Patty Colman and Katie Booth and Katie had been working on creating a list for the theme one more group, and they were just collecting a lot of resources that they felt would be helpful to professors and also students,

233
00:41:42,300 --> 00:41:55,950
and it was kind of just distributing through emails and share of documents and things like that, and what Patty was looking for was a way to kind of bring it all together and the Library had already been working on a

234
00:41:57,690 --> 00:42:08,010
Black Lives Matter and anti-racism resource guide and so we decided to add this on as a tab and it's titled The Culturally Responsive Pedagogy Repository,

235
00:42:09,330 --> 00:42:15,120
and really what it is, is it's just a collection of items that we believe could be helpful to you.

236
00:42:15,750 --> 00:42:23,310
So the goal in creating this is to build and create resource centers for culturally responsive teaching and White alliance development.

237
00:42:24,060 --> 00:42:30,720
I think, ideally, hopefully when we're back on campus, we'd like to have a physical resource center somewhere maybe in the library,

238
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:43,470
but right now we have an electronic repository that anybody can visit. So we have that little today and on the Library homepage and I believe Michael also put it in the chat right now.

239
00:42:44,670 --> 00:42:54,060
And this is a variety of resources. So some of these will be for personal growth and development, we've heard that I've heard that in several work groups,

240
00:42:54,600 --> 00:43:01,560
of people just wanting to develop themselves and their knowledge, it's really for all levels and experience.

241
00:43:02,010 --> 00:43:12,180
And then, there also are items that you could use in the classroom. The classroom content, a lot of print resources and you do have video resources as well.

242
00:43:13,140 --> 00:43:18,480
And many of the video resources that we've linked are embeddable into your Canvas site,

243
00:43:19,350 --> 00:43:28,560
and something that we're working on right now is subject specific sources, but that's been something that's been discussed in the theme one more group is

244
00:43:29,550 --> 00:43:38,460
I know that there was discussion about Art and also Music, and then you recently found some resources for Science and Philosophy.

245
00:43:39,420 --> 00:43:51,690
So this is really kind of a growing thing even right now the guide is a manageable size, but I think that will see it grow, and then we may split into a student guide and faculty guide.

246
00:43:52,680 --> 00:44:03,960
Not really sure yet, but what I would encourage everyone to do and a lot of people have been emailing it's just email, either you can email the Library directly or email myself

247
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:15,060
with resources and we'll just get that added into the repository, because we would really like to see this grow in just the variety of resources so that we really can serve everyone on campus.

248
00:44:16,110 --> 00:44:34,140
And before I just show a couple screenshots of the guide I did want to plug for participation, there is the theme one work group or from the theme one work group, Ruth Bennigton and Cynthia Barnett are leading a book club and it's going to be <i>Between the World and Me</i> by and you're going to have to

249
00:44:35,340 --> 00:44:46,080
forgive my pronunciation Ta-Nehisi Coates I believe, and you could contact either them to get involved in the group or you could also email me if you would like a copy of the book. If we could advance

250
00:44:48,570 --> 00:45:00,750
the slide. I just want to quickly show you what's in the repository, and so it's an electronic guide and many of the things that we have in here are actually articles that are available and open access on the internet.

251
00:45:01,470 --> 00:45:14,370
Some of them are through our databases, and then there are also print resources that were suggested, and many of those will be books that you could check out from the Library. If you could advance the slide?

252
00:45:16,290 --> 00:45:20,220
So we have a second tab of library resources.

253
00:45:21,300 --> 00:45:31,890
Many of these books are available in e-book format, but there are some available in print. We are just opening up our circulation for print books. So if you would like

254
00:45:32,460 --> 00:45:38,040
to check any of these out, you can always contact the Library directly and I'll have more information on that later.

255
00:45:38,700 --> 00:45:55,470
But a lot of the titles that I'm hearing being discussed in work groups and that also people are contacting me about, we do have in print in the library, and even though campuses close right now we are working on how to get those materials to really the faculty and also students.

256
00:45:57,870 --> 00:45:59,220
So that's

257
00:46:00,270 --> 00:46:08,340
kind of a short summary of the repository, but I think we're all really excited about the potential of it,

258
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:21,930
and just kind of seeing it grow, and the thing I enjoy the most about it is just the collaboration between so many departments and really just individuals to create such a wealth of resources.

259
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:36,210
So the next thing I'm doing double duty today, I'm also presenting on the Library. So we talked about resources and how to access them and

260
00:46:37,110 --> 00:46:55,290
with the changes of us going offline or, you know, remote on online and off campus, excuse me, we've seen a lot of adjustments in what we are doing with services, we've made a lot of accommodations to just make this work for everybody. So with our instruction,

261
00:46:56,670 --> 00:47:02,880
we are doing offering live sessions and recordings. There's a lot of professors contacting us that

262
00:47:03,420 --> 00:47:12,600
are trying to move their assignments online and figuring out how to make it work, and that's something that we really want to help out where we can, to help you find the resources,

263
00:47:13,260 --> 00:47:19,650
if there's a way that we can get the resource for you, and really, to give instructions to your students on how to access the resources.

264
00:47:20,190 --> 00:47:29,370
Along those lines, the Canvas tools, we've been creating a lot of new Canvas modules that you can insert into your Canvas and for

265
00:47:30,090 --> 00:47:43,530
people who have their students attend research sessions with us, we also have quizzes that you can embed in your Canvas and just for retention, but also to check to see that your students are watching the recordings and retaining the information.

266
00:47:45,420 --> 00:47:52,380
I think with the research guides, we are we are wanting to help every department on campus,

267
00:47:52,830 --> 00:48:00,270
and that's something that I, I really enjoy about being a librarian is we work with all different departments and really try to make

268
00:48:00,930 --> 00:48:12,630
information tailored to your assignment. We want to give provide you with the resources that you need, and really, especially while we're on online help you figure out how to get your students to

269
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:22,230
the resources that they need to complete their assignments. We have streaming video you saw some of that on the repository guide.

270
00:48:22,890 --> 00:48:29,370
There is also other libraries with other subjects and we do take requests for streaming video as well.

271
00:48:29,820 --> 00:48:40,920
One thing I tell professors, is that, you know, we do have some restraints with copyright and access. So we don't have everything, per se, but we want to find whatever we can to make it work for you.

272
00:48:42,660 --> 00:48:53,340
Two new things that we are just starting, I think really kind of this week, are print requests. So professors, or faculty and staff, you can request items

273
00:48:53,790 --> 00:49:04,200
through we're turning on holds in our system, but you can also just email the library directly, and for faculty we would put the items in your mailbox in the Admin building,

274
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:18,690
and then for students we're working on this is going to be coming soon we're going to allow students to put holds on print materials and then we would have them pick it up in the Library entry way.

275
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:29,100
For returning all materials, we now have an external book drop that's located in parking lot M, so it's really right next to the PA and the

276
00:49:29,700 --> 00:49:43,800
Music building, it's like right in between that and that is just something that we thought would assist students so that they don't have to go through the check in process is to come to campus to drop things off, they can just drive through the parking lot and drop off materials.

277
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:49,680
So if you're interested in any of these services again, also, if you want to contact

278
00:49:50,850 --> 00:50:04,500
the Library about different resources, anti-racism resources and you can visit our college or our website, all you have to do is add a "/library" to the end of moorparkcollege.edu

279
00:50:05,130 --> 00:50:13,860
and that will have everything that you need to contact us, but there's also a general email that goes to the reference desk and mcreference@vcccd.edu,

280
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:28,350
and then phone numbers to call and we are actually taking text messages now, and then on our main library page, there is a chat function also. So we're trying to really open up as many ways as possible to reach us.

281
00:50:30,930 --> 00:50:33,360
And that's really all I have, thank you, everybody.

282
00:50:34,530 --> 00:50:35,880
Mary: You have a video to...

283
00:50:36,540 --> 00:50:38,370
Danielle: Oh yes, I forgot about that Mary. [Danielle laughs]

284
00:50:40,470 --> 00:50:51,720
Our new librarian Jackie Kinsey made a great welcome video, that I want everybody to see. This is kind of a debut honestly, and then we'll be sharing this with students in the future.

309
00:52:40,260 --> 00:52:49,680
Mary: Thank you Danielle. We love being the first ones to see that great video. Thank you, and it's a great reminder that the Library, our tutoring,

310
00:52:50,550 --> 00:53:04,860
all of our students service support activities are are all online and still available for students. We had a couple of questions that want to, to try to answer for people. There was a question asking about

311
00:53:06,240 --> 00:53:17,460
Teams versus Zoom. The district is looking at alternates. We do rely very heavily on Skype and Zoom. There are other tools out there, including

312
00:53:18,090 --> 00:53:31,050
Teams and the district is to kind of, we've got some some groups, some committees that are using it, and I certainly expect that it will be rolled out more and more in the future as an alternative but

313
00:53:31,740 --> 00:53:41,640
we are aware of it and it is starting to be used as a tool around campus. So you will definitely be hearing more about Microsoft Teams versus Zooms in the future.

314
00:53:42,930 --> 00:53:47,730
It was pointed out also that spring is just around the corner, right?

315
00:53:49,110 --> 00:53:57,840
Spring priority enrollments were sent just sent out today. So that is going to be out there for your students so

316
00:53:58,860 --> 00:54:05,550
we do have our spring schedule up. We are going to be starting to enroll students so

317
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:13,290
do support the students and do encourage the students to enroll. We want to make sure that

318
00:54:13,890 --> 00:54:28,860
that our students do continue. The ones that are here with us this fall, we want to continue to support them all spring as well as bring additional students that were hesitant to go back to school to come and join our Moorpark family and know that we are there for them.

319
00:54:29,940 --> 00:54:38,820
There was a question, Julius talking about what percent of FTES is Moorpark, and I think really the question is, are we still...

320
00:54:39,750 --> 00:54:40,500
Julius: Number one? [Julius laughs]

321
00:54:40,830 --> 00:54:50,100
[Mary]: Yes. [Julius]: We're 43.3% I think is what I responded back to that question of the district's FTES.

322
00:54:51,360 --> 00:55:09,480
They are operational FTES for this year's currently is 23,000 plus. our goal was 26,000, and Moorparks now currently at 10 thousand, 4 something. So we have 43.5% of the college district's FTES and we're still number one.

323
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:15,480
[Mary]: But we knew that right before even the question was asked, so. [Julius]: Yeah.

324
00:55:16,770 --> 00:55:17,550
Mary: Thank you.

325
00:55:18,990 --> 00:55:26,130
Well, I can say that videos are still, I don't know what's going to happen to Tik Tok, but videos still rock Danielle because

326
00:55:27,270 --> 00:55:40,050
when we talk about either questions for contract tracing or where maps where the screening tests are the video definitely got much more attention. So, way to go on the support for the Library. That's great.

327
00:55:42,390 --> 00:55:52,050
I think that was most of the questions I think the point was that there's some great resources the Library placed for people to use. We do have

328
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:59,340
we won't be meeting next week with the update it will be the following week. If you have

329
00:56:00,720 --> 00:56:11,670
either a highlight, a program that you would like to highlight, or your social justice group, or there's a social justice activity that you think would benefit the whole campus to hear about,

330
00:56:12,720 --> 00:56:26,040
you can send an email to to Conni, or to myself, and we will put them on the schedule because we do understand that it is so important for us in these strange times

331
00:56:27,060 --> 00:56:30,870
to be staying in touch and to be giving the information out for everyone.

332
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:36,690
Julius to have some new last minute suggestions or comments for us?

333
00:56:37,020 --> 00:56:49,260
Julius: Yes, I just want to again say thank you to folks for all the great work you're doing and please, please, please be kind to yourselves, be gracious to ourselves and to our colleagues.

334
00:56:50,340 --> 00:57:03,540
I want to, I want to reiterate points made by Sharon in terms of our safety, that, if you please, if you hear someone's if a student or colleague, you know, informs you

335
00:57:04,020 --> 00:57:16,770
in your role and someone's test asymptomatic or positive test, please let us know, so that we can go ahead and make sure we ensure the safety of everyone else involved.

336
00:57:18,030 --> 00:57:37,380
It is important that we not only scan people when they come on campus, but that if we know that while they are on campus, they may have been a carrier of the virus that were able to anticipate and support them, but also ensure safety of the others on campus.

337
00:57:39,150 --> 00:57:43,140
Thank you to everyone who presented today, the video looks fantastic.

338
00:57:44,340 --> 00:57:54,630
Kudos to the Library staff and and I'm guessing that this is another Dina Pielaet video and great job as always, Dina. Thank you, everyone. Have a great week.
