destiny Define Your Destiny Annual Report 2007 www.LancasterGeneralCollege.edu Friends Define Your Destiny Dear Friend, T his past year has been one of tremendous growth and celebration yet again. I am constantly in awe of the tremendous energy and enthusiasm displayed by faculty, staff, board members, students, alumni and volunteers at Lancaster General College of Nursing & Health Sciences. It is through their collective efforts that we continue to establish ourselves as one of the leading healthcare colleges in the region. They believe in our mission and live it every day—through their words and deeds. Their zealousness encourages me to do the same. In this year’s annual report, I invite you to learn more about our growth by reading about our recruitment and admissions efforts. Increasing numbers of students—both traditional and non-traditional—are recognizing the value of a Lancaster General College education. The admissions numbers illustrate this. Our goal is to continue to grow in this area and expand our reach into neighboring counties and states. We also continue to perform well financially. We use our resources responsibly and efficiently and are proud of the way we maximize our performance. Last year we also held our first signature fundraiser, Dancing for Dreams. This wonder- ful event was a collaboration among students, faculty, staff, alumni, community leaders and the local dance community. Dancing for Dreams helped raised awareness of the College and $25,000 to offset costs associated with the education of our students. We’re already looking to the 2008 event in June. Our faculty and students are also doing great things. This report includes sections about Awards & Accolades and also community involvement, where you can see some of the ways our representatives are making an impact in the world around us. We have lofty aspirations for the future. I hope you will join me in my dreams for the future as we continue to work toward defining our destiny. Sincerely, Mary Grace Simcox, EdD, RN, President 3 Lancaster General College of Nursing & Health Sciences Admissions Recruitment and Retention Efforts Result in Growth Spurt Interest in Lancaster General College of Nursing & Health Sciences reached an all-time high this past year. Enrollment Management continues to drive many of the key recruitment activities and has played a pivotal role in increasing awareness of the College. The College’s Strategic Enrollment Management Committee is comprised of 14 faculty members and administrators. In order to accomplish more, members of the committee formed task forces to deal with issues pertaining to the following areas: academic, financial, information needs, marketing, recruitment and retention. As one of the initiatives, the College implemented an aggressive marketing plan to increase the awareness and visibility of the College. Billboards featuring students were placed in primary recruitment counties and radio advertisements were placed on stations appealing to a variety of age groups. Admission counselors expanded their recruitment travel to include greater numbers of high schools in central and eastern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland regions. In addition, counselors traveled to various Lancaster General sites and other healthcare facilities to recruit prospective students. Several other strategies included the development of new admission publications, as well as the formation of a Student Ambassador team of current students to assist with College 4 tours and other projects. The College held its first annual Accepted Student Day in April to enhance both recruitment and retention of newly accepted students. More than 300 guests attended. Thanks in part to the increased efforts in these areas, 1,755 visitors participated in recruitment events sponsored at the College during the year. Applications increased 44 percent from the previous year, resulting in the fall 2007 class being the highest enrollment ever at the College.

However, despite these increases, net tuition and fees covered only 61% of the College’s total operating expenses for the corresponding year. See Unrestricted Revenues Chart College of Nursing and Health Sciences. The tremendous demand we are experiencing has led to incredible growth of our services. And nowhere is that more evident than in the financial picture of the College.

During the past fiscal year, the College’s restricted investments increased 14%, to almost $1.1 million, but that remains far below what would be necessary to reasonably fund a significant portion of students’ tuition and fees on an ongoing basis. As the marketplace for students becomes increasingly competitive and other colleges give unfunded discounts of their services, growing restricted investments will allow the College to fund its discounts. Thus increased costs could be met with increased tuition rates, yet simultaneously prevent the tuition from being overly burdensome on students. On the expense side of the financial equation, the College is facing some crucial decisions. Increased enrollment and staffing have exhausted the College’s available physical space, prompting immediate facilities needs.

However, it is becoming increasingly evident that the only way to begin to meet the increased demand for services is to significantly expand facilities. This would allow for the College to provide the necessary additional classrooms, activities, and personnel. Therefore major short-term and long-term expansion plans are currently being discussed. During the past year, as expected, the College’s costs were driven primarily by salaries and benefits, which represented roughly 71% of the College’s total operating expenses. Examining it another way, 74% of the College’s expenses were used to provide direct program-related services (instructional, student services, and academic support), with the remaining 26% representing indirect institutional support used primarily for organizational-wide purposes. See Operating Expenses Chart Overall, the changes of the past year have served to strengthen the financial position of the College, leading to an increased sense of optimism for the future. The College team tirelessly strives to offer excellent educational experiences for its students, and thanks all its stakeholders for helping to make that a reality each and every day.

Perhaps that’s part of the reason why they chose to pursue a healthcare-related career. We take pride in the altruistic spirit of our College community and strongly encourage volunteer efforts. Giving back to others and freely sharing talents and skills builds is a win-win situation that benefits the volunteers as well as the individuals who are receiving the assistance. Several of our faculty and students have gotten involved in a big way by donating weeks or months at a time to go on medical missions trips both in the United States and abroad. After returning, many generously share their experiences so that others may learn from what they have seen and done. While we know we have exceptional medical care in Lancaster County, not every place is as fortunate and we are glad that we have so many people willing to help. Others may stay closer to home, but are still making a tremendous impact. For example, throughout the school year, groups of students attend local health fairs to provide screenings to help individuals identify potential health risks and can get the proper medical attention. They may also assist in nursing homes, churches and schools. Some College members teach classes, belong to community organizations and help coach school and intramural sports teams. Faculty also have the chance to make an impact by volunteering to serve on committees at Lancaster General Hospital and in professional organizations. You can also see them at community events like the United Way Day of Caring and the Lancaster County Office of Aging Senior Games. We thank those in our midst who are driven to go above and beyond the call of duty to share their personal and professional talents. They help make the world—and the College—a better place. 14 410 North Lime Street Lancaster, PA 17602 (717) 544-4912 1-800-622-5443 www.LancasterGeneralCollege.edu BD/SP/01-08
