Provost Pease also reported that Academic Affairs is undergoing a review of programs. Some will be sunsetting, some will be deleted, and some will be merging. Cybersecurity Update Ginny Tomlinson, Associate Vice President for Information Services and Security, introduced Brian Holley, Director of Information Security/CISO, who gave the board a briefing of the updates to CWU’s cybersecurity risk and compliance program. He summarized the cybersecurity framework and explained that the goal of the framework is to reduce the company’s exposure to cyberattacks and to identify the areas most at risk for data breaches. To manage risk and compliance, assessments are done. Results of the assessments drive strategic planning and day-to-day operations. Reports on cybersecurity will be shared with the board on a regular basis. Basic Needs Presentation Dr. Cochran introduced Andrea Guillen, Basic Needs Resource Coordinator and Brady Smith, Wildcat Pantry Coordinator. Ms. Guillen explained that her position is funded through HB1559 and serves as the single point of contact for students seeking basic needs assistance. She works closely with community and campus partners to increase resources and oversees the Washington Student Achievement Council (WSAC) Support Students Experiencing Homelessness (SSEH) Grant and the Hunger-Free Basic Needs Strategic Plan. The WSAC SSEH Grant distributed over $58K worth of aid to 32 students. These funds can be used for housing, food, healthcare, childcare, transportation, and technology. Mr. Smith reported that in two years, the Wildcat Pantry has served over 1300 individuals and distributed 46,890+ pounds. The Wildcat Pantry works with local partners: FISH, HopeSource, and 2 nd Harvest. This year pantry staff and one student attended the Washington Oregon Higher Education Conference and presented on CWU’s Wildcat Pantry. In addition, staff and four students attended University’s Fighting World Hunger and presented on “How Addressing Food Insecurity became a University Wide Mission.” CWU will host this conference in Spring 2025.
