CHAPTER 1General Information

HistoryCOLLEGE HISTORYEast Los Angeles College (ELAC) is a large urban college which serves more Latino students annually than any othercommunity college in the California Community College System. ELAC serves an important role in its community through itsacademic, career-technical, noncredit, student support service and Public Service Academy programs. These offerings serveas gateways to a better life for many in the community and as a primary access point to higher education for a populationthat has traditionally been underrepresented in post-secondary education. ELAC’s primarily Hispanic/Latino andAsian/Pacific Islander student body reflects its service area population and is indicative of the college’s dedication toincreasing access and success in higher education for underrepresented populations. The college offers a full spectrum ofdegree programs, career certificate programs, and transfer curriculum that allows students to successfully complete theireducational goals. In addition, the college offers the opportunity for students to engage in an educational plan thatpromotes individual personal development. In this manner, ELAC represents the promise of new opportunities to thecommunity and a gateway to success for many students.East Los Angeles Junior College was established in June 1945 by the Los Angeles City Board of Education. The collegeopened its doors for the Fall 1945 semester in September in a wing of Garfield High School, boasting nineteen facultymembers and 117 students, many of whom were World War II veterans.The college quickly outgrew the borrowed high school facilities. In 1947, the Board of Education was able to purchaseeighty-two acres of agricultural land in what was then East Los Angeles, thanks to funding from a bond issue. Two yearslater, in January 1949, classes began at the college’s present location in wooden bungalows moved to the campus from theSanta Ana Army Air Base. More than 1,700 students enrolled that year.An evening program that began in 1947 was expanded and offered at many locations. By 1954, the popular programoffered classes at twenty-five different locations. The Civic Center program alone enrolled over 1,900 students that year.In 1948 a name change was proposed. Angeles Bella Vista College, Ramona Hills College and Hillview College wereconsidered. It wasn’t until 1959 that the name change occurred when the “Junior” was dropped and the name East LosAngeles College (ELAC) was firmly established.COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND ENROLLMENT GROWTHIn 1951, the stadium and auditorium were built. Over the next twenty years permanent buildings were constructed toaccommodate growing enrollment. More classrooms, an administration building, a library, a planetarium, men’s andwomen’s gyms, a swim stadium, a theater, and an art gallery – to name a few – followed.Today’s Vincent Price Art Museum began with a gift from Vincent Price – noted actor and art collector – who donatedninety pieces from his collection to establish the first “teaching art collection” in 1957. Over the years, the collection hasgrown to more than 9,000 pieces including works on paper, paintings and three-dimensional art work. This collectionprovides an extraordinary and unique resource for students to see original art firsthand in order to supplement courses inart history and art appreciation.In 1969, the California State Legislature clearly defined higher education in the state and designated the (then) eightcommunity colleges of the Los Angeles Unified School District as the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD). Aseven-member Board of Trustees was elected to govern the new district. Today, the ELAC service area, home to more than1.5 million people, includes the communities of Alhambra, Bell, Bell Gardens, City of Commerce, Cudahy, East Los Angeles,Huntington Park, Los Angeles, Maywood, Montebello, Monterey Park, Rosemead, San Gabriel, South San Gabriel, SouthGate, and Vernon.2012-2013 College Profile and Data Book | Chapter 1 – General Information 4

History – continuedDuring the 1970s, more buildings were added to the campus to keep up with growth of student enrollments. In 1975, theunduplicated enrollment count of credit students was 18,544. A gymnasium, including classrooms, a lecture hall, officesand lockers, and outdoor ball-court spaces were built in 1972. The swim stadium, with two twenty-five yard swimmingpools, was also built that year. To house the nursing program a Nursing Education Building was built in 1977 and a newlibrary followed two years later.In 1972, the City of Monterey Park annexed the College and surrounding neighborhood, officially changing the maincampus address. ELAC began growing, adding faculty members, programs and classes as demand for higher educationincreased.During the 1984 Olympic Summer Games, ELAC hosted swimming and field hockey events, welcoming thousands ofspectators to campus and increasing the international visibility of the College. Despite funding challenges that limitedgrowth during the 1980s, ELAC continued to offer a variety of vocational and transfer programs.Throughout the 1990s the Automotive Technology and Child Development Centers were built. Many of the originalbungalows were still used as classrooms until 2007 when they were finally demolished to make way for new campusstructures.CAMPUS TRANSFORMATIONDuring the 1990s ELAC experienced unprecedented growth and change. Enrollment grew from 13,000 to approximately30,000 students and the number of permanent faculty almost doubled. Outreach programs were located throughout theservice area for the convenience of students who could not easily travel to the main campus. In August 1997, the fullserviceSouth Gate Educational Center was established in the southern part of the service area so that students couldcomplete a transfer curriculum and several career programs without attending the main campus. In 2007, a third site wasopened in Rosemead to serve students in the northeastern portion of ELAC’s service area.Growth during the first decade of the 21st century was not limited to increasing enrollment. An emphasis on studentcenterededucation and on providing support that engendered student success increased ELAC’s graduation numbers.Between 2000 and 2005, East Los Angeles College graduated the highest number of Hispanics/Latinos in California.Nationwide, in 2011, ELAC, ranked 6th, continued to be one of the highest Associate’s Degree producers ofHispanics/Latinos.In 2000, two bond issues, Propositions A and AA, initiated by the LACCD, were approved by voters. Funding of over $281million allowed ELAC to begin the most ambitious building program in its history to substantially improve the College’sinfrastructure. In the fall of 2004, a state-of-the-art technology building opened that was started with state funds andcompleted with bond money. This building was the first of many buildings and improvements that are planned or underconstruction.By the spring of 2011, after almost a decade of planning and construction, more than 240,000 square feet of classroom,student services and administrative space were added to the college facilities. In addition to buildings, a 1,800 spaceparking structure was constructed to provide access to the heart of the campus. The Baum Center, located on the eastside of the college’s new entry plaza, was remodeled to be a comprehensive facility for administrative services, completewith a six-room faculty conference center. Across the entry plaza is the newly completed Student Services Center thathouses admissions, testing, counseling, and financial services under one roof to maximize student access to enrollmentservices.2012-2013 College Profile and Data Book | Chapter 1 – General Information 5

History – continuedThe Visual and Performing Arts Center, a $65 million, three-building complex located at the eastern gateway to thecampus, is anchored by a 77,000 square feet two-story building that is now home to the Dance, Music, and Visual Artsdisciplines. The Theater Department is housed separately in a two-story building that includes a traditional prosceniumstage theater and a flexible black box performing space. The facility also includes workshops for costuming and stagedesign as well as classrooms to allow for instruction to occur simultaneously with performance preparation. The VincentPrice Art Museum, the third building in the center, is equipped with seven galleries, the Thomas Silliman Vault for storingthe collection, and a 129-seat “smart” lecture hall to accommodate art history classes and guest lectures.Currently, construction continues on a replacement classroom building, the renovation of the Helen Miller Bailey Library, asecond 1,500 space parking structure located on the northeast corner of the campus, a Transit Mall, and modernization ofthe sports stadiums and playing fields. In addition, an off-campus building in nearby Corporate Center has been purchasedand is undergoing renovation to serve as the Health Careers Center.Funding from a third bond approved in 2008 will continue campus transformation into the coming decade. The South GateEducational Center acquired a 19-acre site across the street from its current location. The new site, which is projected toopen in 2015, will be developed into a campus complete with a parking structure, a new classroom building and aretrofitted space that will accommodate various student services.On the main campus, plans for a Science Career & Mathematics Building, Student Success and Retention Center, CampusStudent Center/Bookstore and gardens, plazas, and additional classrooms are moving towards approval and construction.With these enhancements, East Los Angeles College will be positioned to provide the highest quality education andservices to its students and community for decades to come.Auditorium, 1951 Swim Stadium, 1975 Technology Building, 2004 Visual Arts and PerformingArts Center, 2010Student Services, 2011 Business, Social Sciences, Helen Miller Bailey Library, Transit Mall, scheduled forand Humanities, 2011 2012 completion 20122012-2013 College Profile and Data Book | Chapter 1 – General Information 6

CHAPTER 2Service Area

About this Chapter – Service AreaEast Los Angeles College is a vital resource for education and training in the greater Los Angeles region. Its LACCD-definedservice area is comprised of the communities of Alhambra, Bell, Bell Gardens, City of Commerce, Cudahy, East Los Angeles,Huntington Park, Maywood, Montebello, Monterey Park, Rosemead, San Gabriel, South San Gabriel, South Gate andVernon, and parts of Los Angeles. With a population of over 1.5 million people, the college's service area is expected togrow at a rate faster than the district, county, state and the nation. In addition, current population estimates report thatover 43% of ELAC’s service area population is under the age of 25. The combined growth and age data support a robustpopulation in need of academic and career‐technical training.ELAC’s service area includes more than 50,000 households below the poverty line (based on the 2000 Census). Conditionscreated by poverty require the college to increase support to students through ancillary services while they are workingtoward their educational goals. Data on the educational attainment of Los Angeles County residents further exemplify theneed for higher education in the ELAC service area. Approximately 22% of Los Angeles County residents over the age of 25never received a high school diploma, and an additional 41% report completing high school diploma as their highest level ofdegree attainment. Furthermore, the data more specifically show that 42% of Hispanic/Latino Los Angeles County residentsover the age of 25 have never received a high school diploma.The demographic profile of the college service area indicates that ELAC serves a large minority population, withHispanic/Latino residents representing the largest demographic group.

CHAPTER 5South GateEducational Center

About this Chapter – South Gate Educational CenterThe number of students taking courses at South Gate Educational Center (SGEC) has grown from 3,492 in Fall 2007 to4,912 in Fall 2011. While the number of students taking courses solely at SGEC has steadily increased over the last fiveprimary Fall terms (2,583 in Fall 2011), the number of students taking courses at SGEC and another ELAC facility nearlydoubled from 1,199 in Fall 2007 to 2,329 in Fall 2011. The majority of students attending SGEC continue to be females,but the number of male students has increased by 53% since Fall 2007. The student population at SGEC is younger than atthe main campus. In Fall 2011, students age 25 and younger made-up 71% of the student body while at SGEC 75% of thestudents were 25 years of age or less. In Fall 2011 nearly 90% of SGEC students were Hispanic/Latino; except for NativeAmericans, all ethnic groups saw major increases in attendance. Finally, in Fall 2011, the primary educational goal of SGECstudents was to transfer to a four year university (41%). That percentage mimics the ELAC student body.2012-2013 East Los Angeles College Profile and Data Book | Chapter 5 – South Gate Educational Center 49

CHAPTER 6Academies

About this Chapter – AcademiesSince Fall 2007 there’s been an increase in the number of students attending and enrolling in credit courses at ELAC. Infact, the data in this current profile and data book show enrollment increases for nearly every demographic or studentstatus group. The data in this chapter, however, reveal that the number of Public Service Academy (PSA) studentsattending ELAC has decreased from 7,528 to 6,530 (-13%) since Fall 2007. Female participation in Public Service Academycourses has grown from 1,260 in Fall 2007 to 1,710 in 2011; the number of male students has decreased by 23% over thatsame time span. Additionally, PSA students tend to be older than the general student body at ELAC. Only 4% of the 6,530PSA students were under the age of 26 during the Fall 2011, while 71% of the general ELAC student body was under theage of 26. Another difference in the make-up of PSA students, in Fall 2011, is evident: 23% are Hispanic/Latino, 20%Caucasian, 12% African-American and 4% Asian/Pacific Islander.2012-2013 East Los Angeles College Profile and Data Book | Chapter 6 - Academies 62

CHAPTER 7Student Outcomesand Performance Indicators

About this Chapter – Student Outcomes and Performance IndicatorsAt ELAC a number of interventions have been directed at increasing student outcomes and performance indicators; mostrecently the Achieving the Dream Initiative. Over the last five fall terms, despite budget reductions and larger class sizes, incourse success rates have increased by 4% (average success rate of 65%). A slight gender difference exists, on average, overthe last five fall terms, females succeed at nearly 2.5 percentage points higher than male students. Additionally, whileethnic differences exist, success rates for all ethnic groups have increased since Fall 2007. Another performance indicatorthat increased over time, albeit more modestly, is the in class retention rate; differences by location in both success andretention rates are also evident.The rate of return among ELAC's first-year students has also improved since Fall 2007. First-year ELAC students from Fall2011 returned the next primary term (Spring 2012) at a rate of 73%, up 6.2 percentage points from Fall 2007 first-yearstudents. Among Fall 2010 first-year students, 63% returned the following fall (Fall 2011), 7.4 percentage points higherthan first-year students from Fall 2007. These gains in spring and fall persistence were also reflected in the gendersubgroups. In general, growth from Fall 2007 to Fall 2011 in persistence rates were higher among females than males.Again, while ethnic differences exist, all ethnic groups showed gains in persistence.A three-year longitudinal pipeline study, which compares an entering group of students from Fall 2007 to another group offirst-year students form the Fall 2008, shows increases in the percentage of first-year students who completed units in theirfirst semester. In fact, the second cohort group outperformed the first cohort in just about every completion milestone.2012-2013 East Los Angeles College Profile and Data Book| Chapter 7 – Student Outcomes and Performance Indicators 75

Persistence to First Spring and Fall: Cohorts Fall 2007 – Fall 2011AboutPersistenceDataPersistence is often used to describe a student’s continuity toward – presumably – their academic goal.The persistence data presented in this chapter describes the percentage of first-year students whoenrolled in a credit course in the fall and then enrolled in a subsequent primary term. Furthermore,persistence, in this chapter, is measured at two different times for the last five fall terms: the first spring(Fall to Spring persistence) and the first fall (Fall to Fall persistence). For example, 4,127 first-year studentsenrolled in a credit course during the Fall 2008 term and 2,782 (67.4%) of those first-year students thenwent on to enroll in the first subsequent spring term (Spring 2009). Likewise, in Fall 2010 4,282 first-yearstudents enrolled credit courses and 2,711 (63.3%) of those students enrolled in the first subsequent fallterm (Fall 2011).FrequencyTableCohort Fall 2007 Fall 2008 Fall 2009 Fall 2010 Fall 2011First-Year Students 3,590 4,127 4,390 4,282 4,246Persistence to Spring 66.6% 67.4% 68.0% 73.9% 72.8%Persistence to Fall 55.9% 56.5% 57.4% 63.3% n/aNote(s): The rate of persistence of Fall 2011 first-year students to Fall 2012 is not currently available.

Longitudinal Cohort Tracking: Fall 2007 and Fall 2008About theLongitudinalCohortTrackingThe Office of Institutional Effectiveness developed a comprehensive pipeline database that has allowed thecollege to determine the most significant barriers to completion (educational end goals such as degree attainmentand transferring to a 4-year university) for students. The pipeline database makes it possible to assess and analyzecompletion for new incoming groups of students (cohorts); a three year period is used to analyze the cohorts. Theresults of the analysis indicate that the barriers most significantly related to overall completion were whetherstudents passed courses in their first semester and the completion of the developmental math and Englishsequence. Importantly, the results show that almost all of the students that achieve math and English competencywithin three years complete a degree, certificate or transfer program. The pipeline results are also given byethnicity and gender in the tables that follow.FrequencyTableLongitudinal Cohort Tracking: Fall 2007 and Fall 2008Fall 2007 Fall 2008CohortN % N %3,729 100% 4,127 100%Completed Units in First Semester 2,539 68.1% 3,049 73.9%Fall to Spring Persistence 2,352 63.1% 2,784 67.5%Fall to Fall Persistence 1,980 53.1% 2,334 56.6%Completed English 814 21.8% 959 23.2%Completed Math 891 23.9% 988 23.9%Completed English and Math 563 15.1% 636 15.4%Completed Degree, Cert or Transfer 414 11.1% 417 10.1%Transferred to a 4-year University 236 6.3% 198 4.8%100.0%90.0%80.0%70.0%60.0%50.0%73.9%68.1%67.5%63.1%56.6%53.1%LongitudinalTable40.0%30.0%20.0%10.0%0.0%CompletedUnits in FirstSemesterFall to SpringPersistenceFall to FallPersistence23.2% 23.9% 23.9%21.8%15.1% 15.4%CompletedEnglishCompletedMathCompletedEnglish andMath2007 Cohort Rates 2008 Cohort Rates11.1% 10.1%6.3% 4.8%CompletedDegree, Certor TransferTransferredto a 4-yearUniverisity2012-2013 East Los Angeles College Profile and Data Book| Chapter 7 – Student Outcomes and Performance Indicators 95

CHAPTER 8Student Servicesand Special Populations

About this Chapter – Student Services and Special PopulationsEast Los Angeles College is dedicated to student success and academic excellence through student-centered instruction,student-centered support services, and dynamic technologies; in fact, that is one of ELAC’s four primary goals. This chapterwill familiarize you with some of the student services and special program offered at ELAC. In addition, student outcomes foreach special program and service unit are presented alongside demographic descriptions and student statuses.Chapter 3: Student Profile and Chapter 4: Attendance and Enrollment clearly show that over time the number of studentsattending and enrolling in credit classes at ELAC has increased. Along with those increases ELAC has also experienced anincrease in the number of students receiving services from EOP&S, D&SPS and Financial Aid. Special programs have alsoexperienced an increase in student participants.EOP&S has averaged 1,785 students over the last five Fall terms and when the Fall 2007 and Fall 2011 terms are comparedthe latter term show an increase in the number of participants (+38%). Growth in the D&SPS program is much larger (+73%)over time; however, the number of participants in that program is much smaller as it averaged nearly 600 students. Majorincreases in reported disabilities are observed in “Other” and in the “Psychological” categories. Significant increases in thenumber of students that were awarded financial aid and enrolled in a for credit section also increased (+138%, averagenumber of students was 8,282) since Fall 2007.The average number of students enrolled in Honors courses increased by 29% by Fall 2011 and the number of internationalstudents enrolled in credit courses over the last five Fall terms also increased. Growth for International Students was 109%,from Fall 2007 to Fall 2011, and they averaged 894 students per term. The smallest growth over that period of time wasobserved in Student Veterans; that subgroup grew by nearly 10% and averaged 379 students per term.From July 2007 to June 2012 the amount of Financial Aid awarded increased by 227%, during the 2007-2008 academic$24,159,497 were awarded. The number of students awarded financial aid also increased over the last five academic years.In 2007-2008 7,182 students were awarded financial aid and in 2011-2012 that number grew to 15,990 (+227%).Importantly, not all of the students awarded financial aid enrolled in a credit course which is why the number of financial aidstudents is lower than the number of students awarded financial aid.Finally, it is interesting to note that the special programs that experienced the greatest growth in retention and success werethe Honors and Veterans. Honors students retention rates increased by 5%. Success rates for Honors students averaged 83%and increased by 6% since Fall 2007; Veterans students success rates averaged 74% and increased by 5%. Both of thoseaverages were greater than the campus-wide success rate average, over the last five Fall terms, of 65%. In fact, students inall but one of the programs presented in this chapter successfully completed courses at a higher rate than the campus-widestudent body.2012-2013 East Los Angeles College Profile and Data Book| Chapter 8 – Student Services and Special Populations 101
