PS-MAPP
 Continuing to work with Institutional Research to redesign the evaluation forms. The Preassessment forms were completed and approval was received by the funder, The Community

that we can now capture and measure the data with greater efficiency and have the data in a
format that is compatible with El Camino’s standards.
Student Advocacy and Support
 The Foster Care and Outreach & School Relations staff attended the Department of Children and
Family’s Orientation for Graduating Foster Youth at Pasadena City College. Six students expressed
interest in attending El Camino College. On May 12, 2015, at 4:00 p.m. a clinic was conducted to
support these students complete the materials necessary to complete their registration process.
 During the month of May our office audited all records and identified the students that received
services in 2013-15. The findings are:
o January to June 2014, we served 22 students.
o July 2014-June 2015, we served 58 students.

activities for enrollment.

 The prospective students who attend will be assisted with completing the four core steps of
enrollment and in informed about priority registration.
 We continue to work with the John Burton Foundation around Priority Registration. The purpose of
this project is to develop strategies to better inform and support foster youth access priority
registration. The next meeting is scheduled for June 4, 2015.
Adult Education Liaising
 We continue to respond to the students who contact us. Their needs vary. The students are
referred by the Adult Schools and they are supported wherever they are in their process to
successfully enter into El Camino College. This month 3 students were assisted.

Outreach and School Relations

There are 5,334 students (data base was purged of students enrolled this past year) currently in our
Prospective Student Database. Contact Robin Dreizler if your program wishes to use this database
for program recruitment.
Planning for New Student Welcome Day is underway. It is scheduled on Wednesday, August 19,
2015.
Outreach’s Annual planning retreat was a success – many items as we head into 2015-16 were
discussed with a few changes to services planned – stay tuned.
Out-of-state recruiting is tentatively set to expand to Chicago, St. Louis, and Louisville thanks to
Ambassador Ariel Stephenson who is transferring to Southern Illinois.
Discussions continue to better join and integrate the Outreach and the Enrollment Management
Plans heading into the 2015-16 academic year.
Expansion of classes offered on local high school campuses will begin this fall with additional classes
added in the spring 2016
Student Development/ASO/ICC/AGS


The Student Development Office is recommending that we purchase a new computer software
program called Maxient in order to record, monitor, and report on information pertaining to
student conduct. Three vendors were invited to present during the spring 2015 and Maxient was
found to be the most responsive to our needs and the computer software program that most
California community colleges are utilizing. The initial quote from Maxient includes a one-time setup cost of $6,000 with an annual subscription cost of $10,000 with a possible increase each year of
no more than 8%. A formal comparison chart for all three vendors will be provided for review by
the Vice Presidents and possibly Cabinet. The goal is to purchase and implement student conduct
software for the Fall Semester 2015.
The new incoming student officers for ASO and ICC for the 2015-2016 Academic Year starting July 1st
is listed below. If you know a student who would be interested in being in ASO, please get them in
contact with Breanna von Stein kvonstein@elcamino.edu . They will need to fill out an application
and go through the interview process.
