Invested more resources to ensure that evening, online, Alisal and South
County students have access to key student affairs services, information, and
referrals.
Formalized even stronger K-12 outreach and services through the
establishment and funding of a K-16 Bridge program that provides academic,
career, and college information services to participating K-12 campuses,
hundreds of students, and their parents.
Continued organizing and/or participating in myriad college fairs, campus
visits, school assemblies, science and math expositions, transfer and career
events, and other events that connect us even better to future students, their
parents, employers, fellow educators, and community groups. (II.B.11)
Supported the continued professional development of Division staff through
on-campus trainings, online seminars, and attendance at regional conferences
and training workshops. (II.B.12)
The college has continued to maintain the same level of services to students
despite recent statewide budget constrictions. Over the last four years, the
District has annually covered the cost difference due to the loss of state
categorical funding.
Due to a number of recent retirements of permanent counselors, the college as
hired more adjunct counselors, expanding our base of student ambassadors,
seeking external grant funds to support continued and increased outreach
(GEAR UP and K-16 Bridge programs) and retention (TRIO) programs,
cross-training, and improved day and evening service scheduling.
Utilized program reviews, evaluation, survey, and assessment instruments and
data to better serve students, support student learning, and advance student
success, through using these data in order to refine our Division organizational
structure, create a one-stop-shop experience, increase online services, and
better provide support services to our off-campus education centers.
Provided a variety of sites for educational opportunities across the Salinas
Valley. The federally funded High School Equivalency Program (HEP) has
continued to provide student services, education, and training on the Main
Campus in Salinas in addition to the King City Education Center (King City),
as well as other key areas in the south and north ends of the county, ensuring
student access to higher education.
