Mission Statement: To employ the features of the Flexible Calendar Program to make available to faculty members opportunities for improvement in personal/professional, instructional, and institutional areas.

Relevant College Mission or Goal: To provide access to learning opportunities that promote student success; to foster intellectual growth, individual expression, and character development; and to support a dynamic and diverse environment of innovation and collegiality.

Goals for 2006-2007: Implement the first use of online reporting of faculty flex activities in the college's history; discard the 20-year-old flex reporting database in favor of mutli-sheet Excel datafiles; report flex progress to faculty members using electronic mail for the first time; implement a personal flex ID number for all faculty so that a single emailing of flex status reports may be effected; generate individual faculty files using Excel macros to pull data from different sources and to create a personal file in seconds, which can be emailed to a faculty member.
