A Dec. 12 chancellor’s all-campus forum will touch on a new higher education funding formula, the Colorado Springs City for Champions project, 50th<\/sup> Anniversary planning and UCCS student leadership programs.<\/p>\n

The one-hour forum will begin at 10 a.m. in the University Center Theater. Chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak will provide an update on House Bill 1319 to restructure Colorado higher education finance, the Colorado Springs City for Champions Project and 50th<\/sup> Anniversary Plans. Garrett Gatlin, interim director, Chancellor\u2019s Leadership Class, will provide an overview of the UCCSlead program, an effort to expand leadership training to more UCCS students through a series of certificate programs.<\/p>\n

HB-1319 is a bill passed last year that requires the Colorado Department of Higher Education to develop a new base funding formula to allocate state general fund dollars among the state\u2019s public institutions of higher education. This new funding model will be implemented in the 2015-16 fiscal year and will include allocation of Colorado Opportunity Fund stipends, which reflect enrollment, and new Fee-for-Service contracts that will reflect state higher education priorities. Shockley-Zalabak served on a group that recommended performance measures used to allocate funds.<\/p>\n

Shockley-Zalabak will also update the status of the Colorado Springs City for Champions project, a four-project $120 million community improvement program. One of the projects is a sports medicine facility at UCCS.<\/p>\n

Shockley-Zalabak will also share information about spring semester events planned as part of the campus 50th<\/sup> Anniversary celebrations.<\/p>\n

Gatlin will outline a plan to expand leadership programs to more students including the offering of certificates to students who complete specific outside of the classroom activities in addition to their academic pursuits.<\/p>\n

All faculty and staff are encouraged to attend forums. For those unable to attend, a summary of the forum will be posted in Communique, usually within 24 hours of the event.<\/p>\n
