Don Morris and Angelica Diaz-Miranda explained that many of our students transfer to a 4-year institution and that these are benchmarks as set at the state and federal levels. ● Vice-Chair asked about futures institute (FI team provided explanation) ● FI team explained the challenges of creating a program of individualized advising when there is a ratio of 700 students per adviser ● One of the issues discussed the FI teams was that students are currently allowed to change their major without consulting with any ACC staff or faculty members ● Good discussion would be to enforce or reflect on semester-stay on track ● Trustees Villarreal and Mink mentioned the development and acquisition of tools by the college such as Civita products and and other technology assets to support student success ● Vice-Chair Van Dyke inquired about the means in which the strategic plan and student success are integrated. ● Vice-Chair asked how we are using social media to build relationships ● Chair Rev. McClendon inquired if the college is currently reaching out to incarcerated individuals ● Vice-Chair Van Dyke began a question on what the definition of success is. Several members including Rev. McClendon, Trustee Mink, and Trustee Villarreal along with FI team members acknowledged that this was a very difficult question to fully answer as institutional definitions of student success are a lot more limiting than the nearly unlimited definitions possible for individual students. All members agreed that this was a topic that would require a much longer discussion than allowable in the CAC. ● FI team members discussed how they are currently looking at a redesign of the student intake process ● FI team members discussed the importance and process of in understanding the contextualization of student success and required course/activities Agenda Item 8:
