For any opportunity within Strayer, based on the memo and according to "Q.," Deans are being re-appointed regionally; and, for positions I'm applying for outside Strayer, could you write a letter of recommendation?
Your praiseworthy comments would be very helpful to summarize in a letter. For example, you initially praised my mid-term at-risk advising since I was the first Campus Dean in the region to finish and be at 100% for Midterm At-Risk Advising; the next closest was 55.56%.
Perhaps more importantly, you stated I had "good reasons to be proud of your great NPS results!" As a matter of fact, I did all the NPS follow-up by myself. You stated that I'm doing an "awesome" job and in change of campus requests you noted: "Nicely put. :)." For my efforts, evaluations observed "KUDOS," and "rocking it out." My objective activity elicited your response of "terrific."
My accomplishments were recognized and then shared among regional Deans. One of your trenchant evaluations praised my work stating: "I really like your four-point communication strategy for the online students.ˇ Would you be willing to share these ideas with your fellow NE deans?"
Numerous times, as you praised my work, I shared my thoughts to help the regional Campus Deans. For example, at a regional Dean's Meeting, your comments were: "You did a nice presentation tonight, Dean Smith, on Academic Integrity."
For continuing students you informed the regional Deans commenting: "congratulations," and "Spectacular!!! J." My continuing students advising plan was adopted regionally and you responded: "Great - thanks, and thanks for taking time to help your fellow deans! J"
Moreover, I had the lowest percentage of non-attending students among Northeast campuses eliciting a statement from you: "Congratulations on lowest non-attending. Jˇ I love your plan.Please plan to share this on the next deans' call, if you don't mind."
And, I offered an innovative promotional campus video about students, "Tales From Christiana, DE Video." And, your reaction, "Oh my goodness!ˇ You have to let me share this on the deans' call! I would say this is priceless, but that's wouldn't be precise.it's "G Money!"
Finally, for the entire University, I offered final grade solutions and you commented: "Awesome innovations."
Your comments such as these in a recommendation would be insightful and accurately demonstrate my capabilities.
Thank you for your assistance,
Dr. G. Mick Smith

First Campus Dean in the region to finish and be at 100% for Midterm At-Risk Advising; the next closest is 55.56%. I had the second highest number of students to advise in the region but no Associate Campus Dean to assist. The next Campus Dean to finish Advising completed the task on 14 August 2015.

"Y." called me and requested that I send an email thanking everyone for their help with the change of campus requests; and, she asked that I be informed of the student's status. She stated that I'm doing an "awesome" job.

All,
Thank you for handling these potential change of campus requests; I appreciate your assistance. Kindly keep me informed upon receipt of these requests. I am diligently contacting Continuing students to enroll them but I need to know their status. I appreciate the consideration.
Much obliged,

"K.L." noted that my Final Grade solution has been adopted. She stated: "I noticed that your planned solution seems to have become a recommended best practice. Two points for you."
After a grade submission issue last Quarter, I emailed "K.L." a solution on 30 June: "In thinking it over I am now going to have the faculty send two screen shots. 1) After hitting "Save,"; and 2) once the professor successfully hits "Submit" when the grades are greyed out so the grades are no longer visible.
With both screen shots I can verify both the grades and the fact that the grades were successfully submitted."
The Deans met on GoToMeeting to plan the Fall Faculty Meeting. My input is to include faculty participation since they usually come to the meeting and just listen. I suggested innovative ideas which we have never done in the region previously: to huddle by discipline and I would lead the break-out session for best curricular ideas in General Education.

It was lovely to meet Dr. "Recruit" tonight, and I'm glad my voice returned to assist with the meeting!ˇ You did a nice presentation tonight, Dean Smith, on Academic Integrity...I think you and the NE dean team, "E.,, and I all sent the faculty a helpful, consistent message encouraging them to foster a culture of integrity.

Thank you! Yes, the faculty breakout session was first rate since the evening flowed better than former regional meetings. The faculty are more energized as a result and genuine synergies blossomed. Glad to help anytime! I have high hopes for Dr. "Recruit;" she appears poised to raise the campus to the next level: a welcome addition and LinkedIn is an awesome place to recruit. "A." does a stellar job.

Good morning, deans!ˇ I know you all keep your eyes on the StrayerStat, but I wanted to take a moment to congratulate our four NE campuses that have exceeded their Day Zero continuing goal - Christiana at 101.6%, Piscataway at 101.9%, Warrendale at 100.9%, and Lower Bucks at 100.3%.ˇ I know I have been stressing the importance of continuing enrollment (and taking the lead on this) with all of you this quarter, but now is the time to really push to get those final students enrolled before Day Zero.the sooner, the better, so that all of our fall students can get their materials and get off to a great start without falling behind. ˇˇ
