Part 2: Program Summary
| Provide a high level review of the program to include highlights, successes, challenges, significant changes, and significant resources needed to support the program |

The Beverage Technology Certificate has had a challenging but productive year. Despite the constant and changing barrage of unreasonable,
unexplained, and unhelpful policies that rained down upon faculty and students, the program managed to retain it's face-to-face format without any
fatalities. In addition to our impressive zero body-count, Faculty successfully sought and received exemptions to allow our students on campus in
order to complete their final examinations, but only for students who signed a waiver that literally forfeited their lives away and absolved CNM of any
responsibility for any harm that might come to them for any reason whatsoever, including gross negligence. Of the students who did not feel
comfortable signing their lives away to CNM, all were able to return to campus and complete their examinations once this ridiculous and ill-considered
policy was repealed. |

The The Beverage Technology Certificate continues to experience challenges with meeting the goal of annual number of graduate awards
being greater than 10. Currently, I consider this shortcoming to be related to the following factors:
- Persistent enrollment challenges related to insufficient marketing of program
- Decreasing enrollment due to fear of Covid
- Decreasing enrollment due to perception of a Covid-related decrease in quality of education (e.g. shift from face-to-face to online instruction)
- Students beginning to wait for the completion of the new brewing facility before they finish their certificate
Fortunately the solution to all three of these issues is the same: an aggressive, well-funded, well-targeted, and well-executed marketing campaign
that makes clear the high quality and high value of this education at CNM. |
