Continued discussion on Fall project. Suggestions include developing
community among students as a cohort group; identify course taking
patterns and do an extensive transcript tracking project in conjunction
with the PRIE Office
Focus groups were done with the Summer Success Academy; will track
these students in the fall and see how they are doing as students.
Video clips will be shared with EM Committee of focus groups and in the
process of analyzing data. Alex Aiden, Tanya Anderson, Adam Freas,
Jim Hill, Rhonda Rios Kravitz, Ken Times and Chris Torres assisted with
the focus groups.
Summer Success Academy is a motivated group. Would be interesting to
compare data with those incoming freshmen that don’t go into the
academy.
Discussed expanding Summer Success Academy beyond 120 students.
Start up costs have been prohibitive in the past (breakfast and
activities). There are three classrooms and three teachers.
Suggestion that we should look at having mentors for the academy after
it is over.
Academy students while motivated still have concerns with peer
pressure, study skills and intimidated by the process of asking for help.
A website with all the facts about where to get help and different
strategies for success may help some students was suggested.
(Maristella Bacod working on this)
An email will be sent to 0.0 students informing them of new procedures
and workshops available.
Discussed targeting low income students and giving them information
immediately
Information can not only be shared one time but many times and in
different formats that students will read.
E.M. Committee can do a professional development workshop for college
community to explain or share Enrollment Management activities.
Outcomes
 Committee agreed to collaborate with Senior
Leadership Team if they choose same
project.

transcripts randomly of 0.0 gpa students.

SOS stands for Students Obtaining Success. These are concerted,
three-day efforts by the entire college community to fulfill a need or gap
in the success of students.
In the past we have done four promotions in the fall: Pay to Stay (not
promoting this any longer); Welcome Tables for new and returning
students; Not Over in October; What’s Next (plan for Spring: schedules;
transfer, etc.
It was suggested with we can emphasize completion of degrees and
certificates as well as drop dates for “Pay to Stay” campaign. To
institutionalize the campaign, Counseling and Admissions/Records will
collaborate on planning.
Course availability is critical when formulating Ed Plans to complete
degrees/certificates
