Transfer center plan – fall action items
The committee reviewed the priority activities for fall 2014 in the Transfer Center Plan for 20142015. Discussion took place about how to address some of these priority activities. #1 on the priority
activity list – committee discussed sending out e-mails to campaign an open house week that would
include food and snacks. For item #4 on the activity list suggest that during late October or first of
November maybe arrange for guest speakers, workshops and faculty to speak to student. For item #10
on the list – will include the need in program review to secure full-time transfer counselor. Item # 14
maybe there could be a prize connected if a suggested item is used. Committee member Walter Jones
suggested that a possible tailgate type activity could be organized were students will be able to talk with
the faculty of various alums. There was this discussion about the electronic board for information and to
continue to work to determine if the electronic boards might be usable to advertise information.
Jack Moy from the aviation department:
Aviation Program has had an articulation agreement with Cal State University LA for BS program in
aviation. There is consistently a long list of students waiting to enter the program- the wait is 1 ½ year.
The faculty of the aviation program often suggests to students to take the GE's while they wait. There is a
limit to 25 students per class in the labs lecture can hold more however the last cannot. 88 students 10%
are women there's been a large redirect of students due to the Long Beach closure. Aviation modules 1 &
2 are the only entry points for the program at this time when previously a student wouldn't have been able
to drop in at any point. They must complete math 115 or higher to be eligible based on necessary skill
level.
There was discussion about the transfer committee submitting a position paper to ensure that the SSSP
plan included an effort to increase transfer by providing resources.
Meeting adjourned at 3pm
