Improvement to Academics - Jill Landesberg-Boyle

Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle put into place a number of academic improvements. She started with a course schedule re-design making course more accessible to the community at large. In conjunction, New adjunct faculty members were recruited to expand offerings. Ten month faculty positions were offered full time positions to further expand course availability, particular in the summer months. Of course this was well received by the faculty since it was also an increase in there salary.

She added thirteen new associate of art degree concentrations that transfer to state university sequences for bachelor degrees. This was one of the key recommendations by SACS in a 2003 visit. I think it's interesting to note that the visit was in 2003, and the recommendation was not addressed until Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle started her presidency at the college in the 2007-08 academic year.

Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle revamped the Inter-institutional agreement between MCSD and FKCC and completed the Master Educational Plan Survey.

All of this was accomplished in Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle's first year as president at FKCC. Of course she did not stop there, I'll do another posting on the next year.
