Direct Connection to Policy Area 4 of The Illinois Commitment Increasing Access and Diversity through the Alderman Walter J. Burnett, Jr. 27th Ward Scholarship Program. Coyne American Institute What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? The objective of the Alderman Walter J. Burnett, Jr. 27th Ward Scholarship Program is to provide career training opportunities for residents of Chicago’s 27th Ward. By granting full and partial scholarships to ward residents, Coyne American Institute hopes to increase the number and diversity of residents completing training programs. Description of the effective practice: Coyne American Institute introduced the Alderman Walter J. Burnett, Jr. 27th Ward Scholarship Program in 2005, after the Institute’s main campus relocated to Chicago’s near west side. The scholarship program provides full and partial scholarships to qualified residents of Chicago’s 27th ward. Applicants must submit application materials including an essay and letters of reference, and must fulfill all normal requirements for admission to the school. After conducting interviews, a scholarship committee selects recipients of the awards. Full scholarships cover the cost of tuition, books, and related fees for diploma programs at either Coyne campus. Partial scholarships are granted for $2500, and may be applied toward diploma or degree programs at either campus. The scholarships are funded by Coyne American Institute, Inc. How does this practice achieve sustainability? The school promotes the scholarship program through communication with Alderman Burnett’s office, through the school’s academic catalog, and through informational articles in publications including the school newsletter. In this way, the school encourages ward residents to apply for the scholarships. For the school year 2006-07, Coyne’s President has authorized an expansion of the scholarship program to include five full and five partial scholarships. What are the results/measurable outcomes? In the first year of the program, two full scholarships were awarded to residents of the ward. One of the recipients completed his training program in May and received a diploma in Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration. The second is nearing the completion of his training program in Electrical Maintenance. Each will be seeking entry-level employment in their respective career fields.

Direct Connection to Policy Area 4 of The Illinois Commitment Male Mentoring Program CCC - Harold Washington College What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? In Spring 2001, only 34.5 percent of men received degrees from HWC as compared to the 65.5 percent women that received degrees. This statistic dropped even more for Spring 2005, with only 31.1 percent of men receiving degrees; significantly lower than the 68.9 percent of women that received degrees. Moreover, the graduation/retention rate for men at HWC, over the past 5 years has been drastically lower than that of women (CCC, 2005). Clearly, this is an issue that must be addressed. Essential to the mission of HWC is the goal of promoting academic advancement, career development, and personal enrichment. The HWC Male Mentoring Program’s mission is to aid in the academic, personal, professional, and overall development of male students at HWC. The program’s main goal is to support the success of our male students by guiding and nurturing them with the expectation that they will remain at HWC working toward graduation or transfer to other institutions to complete their studies. The proposed initiative is consistent not only with the mission of HWC to sustain an environment that promotes optimal learning, but also with each of the eight core values, accountability, communication, community outreach, diversity, leadership, quality, service, and teamwork. These eight core values are integrated in all components of the Male Mentoring Program Description of the effective practice: Through a series of workshops, culminating with a conference, the program endeavors to generate discussion about how best to support optimal learning for our male students at HWC. Statistics at HWC are much the same. The primary focus of the Male Mentoring Program is to support and nurture “male wellness” at Harold Washington College (HWC) and to help ameliorate the educational, social, and physical/mental health factors that impede the success of our male students. Past research indicates the need to address issues that affect retention and graduation among male college students. Essential to the mission of HWC is the goal of promoting academic advancement, career development, and personal enrichment. How does this practice achieve sustainability? The proposed initiative is consistent not only with the mission of HWC to sustain an environment that promotes optimal learning, but also with each of the eight core values, accountability, communication, community outreach, diversity, leadership, quality, service, and teamwork. What are the results/measurable outcomes? The program has held two workshops, feedback from staff and students have indicated the information provided at the workshops were helpful and presented in a professional manner. By successfully implementing this program, we will address some of the underlying problems to male retention and completion, thus boosting overall enrollment and graduation rates.
