Accreditation - Hartnell College!!

Institutional Self Evaluation – 12-05-12
Hartnell College students can join a variety of clubs dedicated to cultural, social, aesthetic,
and academic growth and enrichment. Students and student clubs host various fundraising
events, cultural events, and all-campus events (e.g., Panther Days) throughout the year.
These clubs are facilitated by advisors (generally faculty or staff members) to help guide the
development of their leadership and civic responsibility skills. The college provides students
with the opportunity to develop and express their artistic, music, theatrical, and aesthetic
talents via our performing arts venue. Their student activity fees support a variety of gym and
physical conditioning programs, as well, to help them remain fit and healthy.
The college demonstrates that it continues to provide an environment that encourages
personal and civic responsibility, as well as intellectual, aesthetic, and personal development
in all of its students.
The college meets this standard.
Planning Agenda
Hartnell College will continue to partner with the ASHC and Student Senate to support a
full-time Student Life Coordinator that will provide advisory and support services to the
ASHC, student government, and student clubs. The college and Coordinator will continually
work with student government leaders to identify any additional training these leaders may
need in order to continue to develop their leadership skills. The ASHC and Coordinator will
work with student senators representing the CAT and the King City Education Center
students to ensure that students attending those centers feel connected to student government
and, too, have access to those programs that promote personal development.
II.B.3.c
The institution designs, maintains, and evaluates counseling and/or academic advising
programs to support student development and success and prepares faculty and other
personnel responsible for the advising function.
