Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
The college lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented HSEEP-style exercises, and relies on county resources for public safety response—creating critical coordination and compliance gaps. Recent regional flooding declarations and unmet NIMS implementation mandates elevate both operational and regulatory risk for students, staff, and the broader campus community.
The opportunity
FEMA preparedness grant programs, including HSGP and BRIC, offer clear funding paths for institutions addressing documented emergency preparedness gaps, with strong alignment to the current fiscal cycle. Acting now positions the college to meet compliance mandates, formalize mass-notification capabilities, and reduce institutional liability before the next severe weather season.
Mass Notification Modernization & Emergency Alerting
Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The college operates a fragmented mass notification environment with interoperability gaps that undermine coordinated emergency response—compounded by the absence of a publicly documented EOP, no evidence of HSEEP-style exercises, and recent local flooding incidents. NIMS compliance mandates and growing campus safety expectations make consolidating and modernizing emergency alerting an urgent operational and regulatory priority.
The opportunity
A state capital outlay award for a new Student Success Center creates a near-term procurement window for emergency notification tied to facility modernization. FEMA preparedness grants and cooperative purchasing vehicles offer viable, low-barrier funding paths to advance this initiative within the current fiscal cycle.
Student Success Center Technology Infrastructure Buildout
Facilities Modernization · Campus Technology
High Priority
About this project
A nearly $6 million state capital outlay award is driving imminent procurement across IT/AV, networking, accessibility technology, and emergency notification systems for a new Student Success Center. Coordinating these technology decisions within the construction timeline is critical to avoid delays, cost overruns, and compliance gaps.
The opportunity
State capital funding is already secured, making this an active procurement window aligned with the facility buildout schedule. Acting now ensures technology investments are integrated on time, meet accessibility and safety mandates, and maximize the impact of awarded public funds.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The college has identified gaps in WCAG and ADA compliance across its digital presence, creating legal exposure and barriers for students and community members with disabilities. An active website refresh initiative makes this an immediate operational and compliance priority.
The opportunity
An in-progress website modernization effort provides a natural entry point to embed accessibility standards and reduce legal risk without a standalone procurement cycle. Addressing compliance now aligns with the current capital investment period and supports equitable access to public-facing digital services.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Existing MFA adoption signals a baseline cybersecurity posture, but broader identity and access management gaps remain unaddressed. Audit findings and a financial reporting delay point to operational vulnerabilities that elevate institutional risk and compliance exposure.
The opportunity
With $1.8M+ in annual IT and software spend and a strategic campus security initiative already underway, organizational and budget alignment exists to act within the current fiscal cycle. Closing identity management gaps now reduces audit risk and supports long-term operational resilience.
