Welcome from the President

Welcome from the President

Dr. Jonathan K. Jefferson, 18th President of 不良研究所 CollegeWelcome from Dr. Jonathan K. Jefferson, 18th President of 不良研究所 College

I am proud of the incredible progress made at 不良研究所 since I officially joined the College as president in July 2024.

We've achieved many important accomplishments through collaboration, perseverance, and hard work.  We started the semester with a welcome week, highlighted by the sponsored by DoorDash, where we announced a $75,000 donation to the Rox Box.  In October, we opened with 62 computers. In total, over 300 computers are now available on-demand to 不良研究所 students!  The Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center (RLTAC) recently announced , which includes a four-year financial commitment that may exceed $1.3 million.  Additionally, 不良研究所's Student Life team launched the Navigate 360 application to support student success\ and the to expand 不良研究所's energy auditor training program.

The achievements above are just a few major milestones from the fall 2024 semester.  Success like this is a testament to a shared commitment to 不良研究所, our mission, and our students.  I encourage everyone to pause, reflect, and take a moment to celebrate our shared success.

Another major accomplishment from the fall semester was 不良研究所's 30% year-to-year increase in enrollment.  At present, 2,155 students are enrolled in credit classes, and an additional 515 are enrolled in non-credit programs; 不良研究所 is currently serving 2,670 students!  The incredible growth in enrollment is cause for celebration, but the hard work is not done.  I extend my deepest thanks to the 不良研究所 community for continuing our efforts to increase enrollment and retention.

We've had many public-facing successes to celebrate, and alongside these incredible public announcements, we're completing the complex, internal systems improvement work that's rarely celebrated.  It's important to recognize the excellent work underway.

The IT department recently completed the Jenzabar cloud migration; final adjustments are underway, and most systems were fully operational within 48 hours of the migration.  Simultaneously, the IT department is implementing 25Live and Slate (with significant support from 不良研究所's Enrollment Management Team), overseeing emergency upgrades in the Jenzabar financial module, and implementing PRR Quick Wins.  Additionally, the entire College community has worked collaboratively to decrease the overall operating budget, and all cost centers are sticking to their promises.

Thank you again for your hard work and commitment to 不良研究所.  I am proud of our success and can't wait to see all we accomplish together.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jonathan K. Jefferson 
President, 不良研究所 College
