Program faculty received feedback from Dean of Academic Affairs, Campus Dean, and Associate Vice President for Academic Program Development, Review, and Online Synergy. The Associate Vice President for Accreditation Affairs/ALO, Academic Faculty reviewed scores from Capstone Professional Readiness Interview. Faculty determined an additional capstone project was needed to strengthen assessment plan; Launching of Capstone Portfolio for CMHC students during fieldwork will begin in Spring 2019. Rubric has been developed for Capstone Portfolio. Faculty continue to meet bi-weekly; review strengths and limitations of KPI and PLO rubrics and revised assessment rubrics as needed. Faculty will convene and discuss plan at annual Department Assessment Summit held in Summer 2019. Based on student feedback, the Counselor Education Department launched three Seminar Series for the 2018-2019 AY: 1) Research/Scholarship/Dissertation Series, 2) Grant Writing Series, and 3) Professional Development Series. The seminars are facilitated by local and national leaders in the Counselor Education Field, and grant/development experts from TCSPP.

PMO #3 Recruitment & Retention aligns with CACREP standards and requirements. Program Faculty consulted with Dr. Virginia Quiñonez, Dr. Michael Barr, OIR Staff, and Melea Fields throughout the accreditation/self-study process. Adjustments were made to Assessment Framework during the CACREP Self- Study process to improve assessment gathering. Enrollment of CMHC students has slowly increased since 2016. Program Faculty will continue to collaborate with Senior Director of Admissions to identify best practices for increasing enrollment of CMHC program, including graduate fairs and direct faculty recruitment efforts. Development, Provost, and outside CACREP consultant on the CACREP Self- Study. Particular attention was given to Section 4 of the CACREP Self-Study which focuses on program evaluation and assessment. The Department Chair and program faculty will continue to monitor enrollment trends in the CMHC program. The program conducts in person CMHC Admissions Interviews with prospective applicants and this is a strength in fostering a strong community identity in the program. Currently, the CMHC program is in need of a third core faculty member with a clear Counselor Education identity, who graduated with a doctorate from a Counselor Education Program (CACREP accredited). Approval for a Fall 2019 faculty hire is in place. Department Chair, in consultation with Senior Director of Admissions and Campus Dean has identified targeted universities in Ohio and Indiana for potential recruitment and meeting of undergraduate students to promote applications to the CMHC program. It is believed that CMHC enrollment will increase significantly when a final decision regarding CACREP accreditation is rendered by the CACREP board of directors. Department Chair will continue to hold Chats with the Chair for CMHC students to meet and discuss strengths of the program and areas for improvement.
