Successes
• Added new faculty; Department is now largest in its history
• Transitioned BMRL staff– Including space, equipment
• Issues with using of building for courses have been resolved
• No more rent for new lab/office space
• Research funding is generally good
• Demand for graduates is high– Most have jobs at completion of degree
• Good fund-raising in 2018– Day of giving: $4,950, down from previous years
• Published a newsletter

New Courses
• CPM/CHEM/ME 436/636– Biopolymers and biocomposites
– Team taught: Webster, Pourhashem from CPM
• CPM 7xx: Computational Characterization of Materials and Design - Rasulev
• CPM 796: Application-guided synthesis of polymers for materials design, coatings and nanotechnology - Quadir
29
Major Challenges
• Consequences of budget reductions– Half-time administrative assistant
– Hired Budget Development staff on soft funds
– Financial staff on campus• 3-4 different people
– Vacant faculty positions revert to Provost
• Loss of course fees for lab courses
• Enrollment in graduate program– Significant decrease in applications
• Enrollment in undergraduate program
• Aging equipment

To Increase Enrollment in Minor
• Target: 20-25 students enrolled at any time
• Option of taking organic survey (Chem 240)
• Revamped minor, have a flowchart for students
• Continue visiting 189 courses– But these are now optional
• Develop a career-oriented brochure – In progress
• Booth and/or display in Memorial Union
• Visits to Chemistry Club, Engineering Clubs
• Contact with parents, letter to incoming students – use brochure
• Better engagement of students in minor with department
31
Proposed: Color Technology Program
• Rationale– No academic program in the US offering training in
color technology
– Industry-wide need for trained graduates
– Multiple industries can benefit• Paint and coatings, cosmetics, plastics, agriculture
• Professional MS Degree– Students pay tuition
– Two year program with internship between years
– Scholarships to offset costs

Color Technology Program
• Needed to start program– Professor of Practice with appropriate expertise
– State of the art instrumentation for lab courses
• Continued support from PPG
• Potential for university support– Need for more professional MS programs
– Outline sent to Provost Grafton in January, no response
• Pigment and Color Forum, October 2018– Contacts with industry
• Graduate School Support
• Scholarship funds: PPG, BASF
33
Graduate Recruiting
• Recruiting efforts have been largely passive
• Steep decline in applications
• Plan is to recruit from upper Midwest undergraduate schools– Funds available from graduate school
– Partner with Chemistry department

Some Challenges
• Recharge Center Working well– Having lab manager on appropriated funds has helped
• Upgrades to equipment/computers– Instrumentation is aging and needs replacing
– Recharge center funds adequate for maintenance
– Write instrument proposals
• Accommodating new faculty– Start up funding
• Croll retirement this fall– Replace with same caliber coatings expertise
35
Issues from previous IAB
• Branding/marketing of program, Narrative for prospective students, Letter for incoming students– Initiated development of brochure for undergraduate minor
• Develop new pipelines for incoming students– Seek funding from Graduate School for recruiting
• Target 4-years schools in Minnesota, Wisconsin
– Joint recruiting with Chemistry, MNT
• Develop distance learning– No action
• Color Technology Program– Develop short course to get started
• No action
