1. How has your investment of the budget monies you did receive improved student learning? When
you requested the funding, you provided a rationale. In this section, assess if the anticipated
positive impacts you projected have, in fact, been realized.
The budget monies we received have made a huge difference in improving the learning capacities of our
CIN students. We have been able to plan activities to retain students, offer stipends to new faculty as we
have extended the program and develop assessment tools. Learning assistants in the classroom,
particularly English have strengthened student learning by providing tutoring and academic support
during the semester. We have also used our budget money to enhance our team through professional
development with the Morning Star organization. Having a strong team has made our programming
more clear, concise and cohesive. The budget money received in 2011-2012, allowed us to build a
strong infrastructure for the program. Monies received 2012-2013 gave us the opportunity to continue
to grow the program. We were able to attend the Western States Communications Conference to begin
spreading the word about CIN. In anticipation of losing Title III funds we reduced our budget by 50%,
with the hope that a smaller budget would help the program become more cost efficient, thus allowing
for institutionalization at the college.
2. What has been the impact of not receiving some of your requested funding? How has student
learning been impacted, or safety compromised, or enrollment or retention negatively impacted?
One of the biggest challenges this year has been not having release time for a coordinator. All CIN
faculty are teaching full loads with many campus-wide responsibilities. This has made it challenging to
properly coordinate our activities, build curriculum and enhance the program. There are many ways
we’d like to expand the program and investigate more resources, but without the time to do so it feels
impossible. Strengthening a program requires reflection on assessment, building relationships and
deepening our capacity. Release time would help us recruit new students and focus more on our
retention efforts.
