Year-end status and accomplishments
Informal discussions with A&R have taken
place throughout the semester as well as plans
to continue the joint outreach letter.
Goal 2:
The RISE caseload has increased from 161 to
281 students – an increase of 43%.
Two additional tutors were hired this year to
accommodate the growth in caseload. RISE
now employs a total of 5 tutors, and will
provide summer services.
RISE currently offers several sections of HCD
52 and a HCD 2 course each semester,
including summer session.
Goal 3:
3a
Continue in-state and out-of-state college Tours (3a)
RISE sponsored two in-state college bus tours
this year – Southern Cal (UCI, UCLA, SDSU)
and a Cal Coast (Cal Poly, UCSC, CSU, MB).
Both tours were well attended and excellent
opportunities.

Action Item
3b
Students and staff attend UC/CSU “Transfer Day” (3b)
3c
Develop one-week residential programs at participating
universities (3c)
Year-end status and accomplishments
RISE will continue planning in this area. Many
of these campus open houses are during our
academic year presenting date conflicts
A number of RISE students were selected to
attend the UCLA Site Residential Program at
no cost.
Goal 4:
4a
Create a Learning Community with focus on Ethnic
Identity (4a)
4b
Expose students to a wide array of cultural And historical
activities (4b)
In the F02 semester, RISE will offer a 9 unit
Learning Community that will link
developmental reading and writing with HCD
2. The courses will have a cultural/identity
theme.
Cultural field trips for RISE students included
Tails of the Turntables & Teatro Campision.
Locally, our students participated in the MLK
March, Polynesian Celebrations, and Cinco de
Mayo.
Goal 5:
5a
Invite historically underrepresented students to a kickoff
reception to introduce the new RISE component: Making
the Future Different or MFD. (5a)
5b
Case manager MFD students and monitor their progress.
Encourage completion of their degree and transfer. (5b)
5c
Develop a peer mentoring program called the
Padrino/Madrina Project (5c)
Create a system to disseminate information to
underrepresented students to ensure they are well informed
of campus activities (5d)
5d
On November 1, 2001 over 250 students, staff,
and community members attended a very
successful and enthusiastic reception
introducing MFD.
MFD students are case managed along with
RISE students. Course completion, GPA’s,
G.E. progress, are all routinely discussed with
students during counseling.
At this time, RISE does not have sufficient
staffing to develop this project.
RISE consistently seeks to communicate with
students via the telephone, e-mail, US Mail,
flyers, posters, and information tables.

Action Item
Goal 6:
Linkage to
other Plans
6a
Actively recruit twelve multi-ethnic community members
to volunteer for a working Board of Directors (6a)
6b
6c
Determine Board’s role and decision-making Powers (6b)
Meet with Board of Director’s once a month (6c)
7a

8a
Increase number of contact with students between

Year-end status and accomplishments
This project will be included and implemented
in the 02-03 goals. Contacts and plans are
currently being established.
Same as above
Same as above
Goal 7:
RISE recognized the importance of
accountability, evaluation, and data. The lack
of a full time office/data manager has made this
area challenging.
Same as above
Goal 8:
Sixty-two percent of the RISE caseload came
in for services four or more times, and 29%
received tutorial assistance. This is a
considerable increase from years past.
Goal 9:
9a
Move into AJ Room 7 together with the Puente Project and
the EOP&S/RISE/Puente Tutorial Project (9a)
9b
Harbor a family atmosphere with The Village to create “a
sense of belonging” among staff and students (9b)
The expansion of RISE has created a need for
additional space. As AJ7 is no longer available,
reasonable space should be provided to
maintain efficient, effective, and personal
service to students.
The RISE staff places heavy emphasis on
building rapport with our students, and with
each other. Students often refer to our program
as the “RISE Family.” This retention factor is
unique to RISE Program.
