Justification:
Why is this position necessary?
The STEM Center is developing into a multi-functional resource Center for students in the Science and
Mathematics Division. We are in need of a point person who will be responsible for organizing formal
study groups by course, supporting outreach and in-reach to increase student utilization of the Center,
organizing speakers, workshops and other activities including working with our STEM Peer Advisors
and Student Clubs, maintaining websites that clarify pathways in STEM, and collaborating with
instructional and counseling faculty who are developing pathways on campus. Further, the Math
sequence presents a barrier to completion across campus, significantly effecting all Pathways and
interactions with our feeder schools. A director position is necessary given the number of students who
What educational programs or institutional purposes does this position support? How does the request
interact with Math and Science, almost all, the level of collaboration with faculty and administration,
relate specifically to your Program Review, the College’s Strategic Plan, and/or Accreditation Recommendations?
and supervisory responsibilities.
This position would support the development of our STEM Program, Health and Wellness Pathways
and also our basic skill math courses. This position is critical for the further development of clarified
pathways for students who pass through the science and math division. It should be noted that front
desk assistance with checking in, scheduling appointments and study groups, checking out equipment
and answering questions differs tremendously from higher functions needed to collaborate and
process paperwork. More than one position is necessary if we are to move the dial on Math and
Science completion rates and pathway development.
Where will the individual work? To whom will the person report? Are there any special equipment/facilities needs
to be considered?
The individual will work in the STEM Center and will report to Dean of Science and Math. There are no
special equipment/facilities that need to be considered.
What is the consequence of not funding this position?
Without this position, students will not receive supports that could increase their success in achieving
their educational goals.
What alternative approaches have been considered in meeting the programmatic demands of this request?
The STEM Center has been functioning with minimal staff and there is no other alternative to
improving its function and student success without providing adequate staffing for the Center.
How will the campus community (students, staff, faculty, and community) be positively impacted by filling this
position?
Students will have additional services available in tutoring options, workshops and exposure to career
options. The STEM Center could become a showpiece for the college and a resource that would attract
students who are interested in either STEM or Pre-Allied Health Pathways to attend Chabot.
What other personnel currently provide support to this program and these students?
At this time, the Center is staffed with only a 0.5 time Instructional Assistant and hourly faculty to help
with tutoring. There is no official staff member present on a daily basis to oversee the function of the
center and this has lead to significant challenges and inability to meet the needs of students across
campus.
