The year 1984-85, which marks the twenty-first year of the
college's operation, was a very successful year with outstanding
accomplishments reported in nearly every field of institutional
endeavor. It was a period in which the college experienced budgetary
restraints and enrollment decline, but one in which the institution
nevertheless made significant advances. --
The academic programs have been enhanced by additional
purchases of microcomputers for instructional purposes.
Only two
years ago the college had no microcomputers. However, after a
matching grant was secured from the Sapelo Island Research Foundation,
the first microcomputer laboratory was established in the Fall of
1983. During 1984-85, an additional 27 microcomputers were purchased. --
increase of minority enrollment
from 18.2% during the spring quarter 1983-84 to 20.9% during the
spring quarter 1984-85. On the negative side, the [overall] enrollment decline was a disappointment
for the academic area of endeavor. --
Library: For the
third straight year the library/media budget was frozen. Library continued to have various art exhibits that were well
attended. Major problems continue to be a critical shortage of space and
shelving and a great reduction in purchasing power because of
inflation. SOLINET membership will be very beneficial when it becomes
operational, and we are extremely pleased to have been able to join. --
new student constitution was written and approved. Seaswells, the faculty-student
anthology, for the third year won national acclaim. Men's basketball team won its second consecutive
State Junior College Championship, while the women's tennis team
placed second in the State and participated in the national finals. --
Although the enrollment decline resulted in a budget reduction in
internal revenue, significant progress was made in restoring operating
and equipment budgets this year.
