00:23:27 Matt Radcliffe: Welcome, everyone! If you have questions, please drop them in the chat 00:26:48 Matt Radcliffe: Feel free to drop questions in the chat and we'll get them answered 00:27:16 Allison Cortez: Don’t hesitate to place your questions here and we’ll get them passed along. Thank you! 00:29:11 Misty Hull: Is there any push to provide more support for our HR team to ensure needed positions can get posted in a more timely fashion? 00:29:59 Matt Radcliffe: Thanks, Misty! 00:30:09 Andre Jordan (he/him): In the CCCS listening session our group had a common opinion that many of our colleagues are underpaid. I would love to start working towards influencing a positive change on this common frustration. How can entry level and mid-level employees contribute and influence change on this topic? 00:30:51 Matt Radcliffe: Thanks, Andre! 00:30:58 Matt Radcliffe: Keep 'em coming :) 00:32:55 Misty Hull: 👏 00:33:12 Randee Nyman: 👏 00:33:19 Dr. Audrey Hillyer: I have noticed on several occasions that campus grounds are nearly inaccessible to students with disabilities days after snow and ice have melted and remelted on sidewalks, and have heard from more than one faculty and staff member that they have fallen or struggled to get into the buildings. What are we doing to ensure that students, faculty, and staff are able to get into the buildings safely, and who do we contact at each campus when we see that there are major problems with this? 00:34:04 Matt Radcliffe: Thanks, Audrey! 00:34:51 Amber Marean: Jessica Castillo is on board - she's been great to work wtih! 00:37:09 Amber Marean: She and Jenn Spurgeon just help me reestablish our college as a NSF grant awardee. 00:38:15 Matt Radcliffe: Happy to pass along any other questions. Just drop it here in the chat 00:38:47 Michele Koster: I am going back to HR and hiring... We have several adjuncts to hire in the IND and AEC and CAD program. It has been the practice to hire 2weeks before classes start. That is not a best practice especially if the new adjuncts teaching new courses. Can we onboard this summer for Fall classes? I am not asking for them to be paid, but to get them on board so they can have more prep time for their courses? 00:39:41 Matt Radcliffe: Thanks, Michele! 00:39:53 Michele Koster: Department chairs are swamped at the beginning of semester and the time we take to train and help adjuncts is very time consuming. Just asking? 00:40:49 Andre Jordan (he/him): Thank you! 00:40:56 Matt Radcliffe: No worries :) 00:41:28 Kendra Johnson: FYI-food for thought... this new study was just released. https://kdvr.com/news/local/this-is-how-much-single-people-in-colorado-need-to-earn-to-live-comfortably/ 00:41:29 Andre Jordan (he/him): https://tax.colorado.gov/TABOR 00:41:51 Matt Radcliffe: Thanks for sharing links! 00:44:59 Andre Jordan (he/him): Kendra - thank you! It would also be very interesting to see how many "single" employees are actually employed here at PPSC! 00:47:01 Matt Radcliffe: More questions? 00:53:32 Matt Radcliffe: Please share any questions you have and we'll get them answered. 00:53:47 Matt Radcliffe: You can ask anything... 00:54:14 Michele Koster: Thank you! 00:54:45 Allison Cortez: We’ll get an answer on that Michelle and send it your way! 🙂 00:55:16 Allison Cortez: Friends, I’ll echo Matt . . . now’s your chance to ask anything. 00:56:12 Benjy Davies: If this is really an Ask Me Anything, I would like to know Dr. Bolton’s favorite dinosaur. 00:56:57 Allison Cortez: Benjy, love that question! We will get it to him. 00:57:51 Linda Bolling: Linda Bolling here! When I went to college here, Colorado Government allowed people over 65 to attend college for free as long as the class they wanted to take was not full. What are the chances of that being allowed again? In those days we had many 80 year olds in our classes. It was such an amzing learning experience. 00:58:28 Matt Radcliffe: Thanks for the questions! Please keep them coming 00:59:07 kimberlywhitten-chung: Thank you for sharing your experience to the faculty member speaking now. You are not alone. 00:59:16 Carla: I appreciate this person right now. We are all feeling this.... 00:59:26 Carla: Admin as well 00:59:32 Dr. Karla Wright-Giles: Agreed! 00:59:39 Amber Marean: Agreed.. appreciate the sentiment being expressed.. everyday is a challenge right now 00:59:40 Andre Jordan (he/him): Thank you for sharing this! 01:00:07 Wayne Artis: Thank you Emily. 01:00:18 Barb Garrett: Thank you for sharing Emily. 01:00:53 Nicole Davis: Appreciation to current feedback as well. Thank you! This sentiment applies to classified and APT actively supporting our amazing faculty and this institution, as well. 01:01:29 Dr. Audrey Hillyer: If whomever is monitoring chat can please share by reading each of the comments that others are echoing in support for Emily's comments, that would be appreciated. 01:01:46 kimberlywhitten-chung: 👏 01:01:47 Joyce Kaplan, PPSC: Thank you for letting us know that this is an issue - not being able to get help at Rampart campus. Obviously work for us :) 01:02:23 Matt Radcliffe: I've noted the agrrement and appreciation for the candor 01:03:37 Joyce Kaplan, PPSC: Yes I hear you! 01:04:59 Amy Reed: Better yet bring these concerns to faculty senate! 01:05:23 Carla: I know it was meant to be a compliment, but the nonchalant way that "This is just how our college works" when someone is talking about working until 9pm at night was a bit frightening due to the complacency with burn out. It may have been an offhand comment, but I think it's important we take note and be aware of that. 01:05:39 Joyce Kaplan, PPSC: We will get the refrigerator taken care of right away, I had not heard it had not happened and I'm so very sorry 01:07:08 Matt Radcliffe: Thank you Joyce! 01:07:31 Matt Radcliffe: Thank you everyone, I will definitely share the comments with the executive team. 01:07:36 Nicole Davis: To Jim, I appreciate your emotion to this response, however I feel like this speaks to individuals being burned out and taking on more tasks regularly (as a new "norm"), in addition receiving mixed guidance from leadership in various capacities (requiring support and collaboration while also honoring "territories" and individual division processes.) No question. Just sharing an observation. 01:07:43 Carol Barlow: I know Nadia put the ticket in to remove the refrigerator. She is entering a new ticket asking to have it replaced. 01:07:49 Allison Cortez: Please know we’ll be sure to share your comments with leadership. I’m worried we may run out of time if we share them all verbally, but we will make sure to capture and share them. 01:07:55 Megan Allen: Can enrollment services employees have offices with doors? 01:09:55 Andre Jordan (he/him): 👏 01:10:29 Zach Pharr: Triceratops is the correct answer! 01:10:34 Joe Charleman: What an awesome statement by that student Faculty Make the Difference!!!! 01:10:48 Benjy Davies: Good pick on the dinosaur. Brontosaurus is a solid choice. 01:10:50 Zach Pharr: *clapping hands* at student comment 01:11:07 Matt Radcliffe: 🦕 01:11:55 Matt Radcliffe: That's correct! Renaming and relabeling. 01:15:23 Andre Jordan (he/him): We received an e-mail communication about an exciting new mental health first aid training that also came with a disclaimer that our student employees are not allowed to attend. Can you speak to the messaging this extends to our student staff and more specifically a culture of belonging at PPSC? 01:16:47 Megan Allen: Privacy 01:16:53 Misty Hull: The MHFA training specifically for student employees is being developed. The student employees have a unique experience that we want to be sure to capture and tailor the training specifically for this group. 01:19:00 Matt Radcliffe: Any last questions? 01:20:39 K M: Wondered how come there are no faculty representing the Downtown Design Team?  01:22:15 Andre Jordan (he/him): Thank you Misty!!! I had spoken to a colleague who had expressed some dismay about not being included in the initial phase :( I'm glad to hear there is a second phase! 01:23:15 Misty Hull: For sure! We want to make sure that there is a freedom for our student workers to speak freely during these trainings without concern. It is in the works! :-) 01:23:28 Andre Jordan (he/him): ❤️
