12:05 PM -- Meeting Called to Order
1.
Good of the Order.
Jennifer and Carolyn Arnold have made proposals for the Student Success Conference to
be held in October. Sara Parker and Tom DeWit have been invited to present on the
Passion Project as a post-conference workshop. Note: should we set aside some funding
to be able to send any speakers to the conference (SOCAL this year).
Carolyn Arnold and Jeremy Wilson, our new IR programmer/analyst will be attending
two conferences this year. Jeremy will attend our next meeting to be introduced.
Several retreats are being planned focusing on either the FYE pilot project or pathway
planning. These include Daraja, Allied Health, and potentially Business.
We also have two teams for BSILI and potentially another workshop/conference.
Issues around notification of priority enrollment status. Notify your students to pay
attention and get clarity as they can improve their status by completing matriculation.
(See the Las Positas Website for how this might have been better managed.) Note: I
took this critique to PRBC.

Carolyn then presented on the data around student engagement, which is up in several
areas, specifically: more students communicating with faculty electronically, more small
groups in the classroom, meeting with study groups, making presentations, and meeting
with the instructor. Please see this data on the Institutional Research Website, see below:

questions than usual about registration and instruction. The results are shown for all
students and by type of student (FT/PT/evening) and by ethnicity. There are also
comparisons of the 2013 results with similar questions in previous years.
