The CSUN Kinesiology Outreach Program of students (juniors/seniors) is partnering with local community colleges to promote
the field of kinesiology and the importance of public health. Pierce College is among the cohort of schools. The CSUN mentees
will work with Pierce faculty to learn about the kinesiology field as well as serving as peer mentors to our students interested in
majoring in kinesiology. The CSUN students and Pierce faculty will be hosting several events exposing our students to the field
of kinesiology as well as helping them navigate their way through the lower division classes needed to transfer into the
kinesiology program at CSUN or other local colleges (CSULA, CSUF, CSULB, CAL Luther, etc.).
The Kinesiology/Health Department is also among one the GE PATH programs here at Pierce College. Our kinesiology classes
fit under the Health and Wellness path.

Data Sets Provided by the Office of Institutional Effectiveness (Research Office)
Please discuss any longitudinal trends within your program or the relation to college averages in these areas: changes in enrollment,
FTES, section offerings, and FTES/FTEF; success and retention rates; degrees and certificates awarded (especially if few awards are
made each year); and full-time/part-time faculty ratios. Included in the data sets are the Benchmarks and Goals for success and
retention. If the most current success and retention rates fall below the Benchmarks, please discuss ways in which your program will
address these areas. Please discuss ways in which your program hopes to meet the Goals in the coming year.
According to current statistics (spring 13) provided the department had an average class size of 65.9 students by the drop with ‘W’
date with a program retention of 93.6%. We maintain the majority of students with a department whose majority of the classes are
taught by adjunct faculty members. *I do not have stats for spring 2014. We currently obtained a fulltime hire for fall 14.*

A.
The completion of the North Gym classrooms 5600, 5601, and 5602 into Smart classrooms. This will promote
academic success by providing instructors with up-to-date equipment (computer/DVD/ screens/immediate internet
access) to create an exciting and desirable academic environment for both students and community participants.
Providing the pool staff with self sustaining emergency equipment (an AED, computers/printers, and direct
emergency phone access). We also need cables dropped in the back and front area of the north gym, building
5600 for wireless internet access to enhance institutional academic learning in the classroom.
4.2,4.3,4.4
B.
New/updated computers in the faculty offices areas to help provide instructional learning.
4.2, 4.3,

C.
Continued pre-paid maintenance contract with an accessible revolving fund for the Fitness Center and the pool.
This will allow for preventative maintenance on the equipment on quarterly or semi-annual bases. The revolving
fund will allow for immediate access to money to replace broken parts and labor cost. This will minimize downtime
for classes and services the departments provide. Well maintained fitness equipment and the pool will uphold a
safe environment for student learning, will not interfere with athletic conditioning and sustain faculty/community
usage. The prevention of equipment breakdown and pool closures will retain a professional and academic
environment for both students and the surrounding community Pierce College serves.
5.4
D.
Continue offering an excellent selection of courses, which reflect the diverse areas of our discipline, our areas of
expertise that meet the changing needs of the Pierce College students.
1.1, 1.2,
Enhancing our relationships and collaborating with our counterparts in local community colleges and universities on
endeavors that benefit our students. This will include organizing and/or participating in local community and state
college Kinesiology activities, conferences, and/or meetings and participating in discipline district events. This
would include collaboration with local discipline colleagues on the development an AA degree for Transfer in
Kinesiology and Exercise Science.
5.1, 5.2
Providing the Kinesiology/Health Department with a department only media cart (projector/lap top
computer/speakers/portable cart). This will allow self-sufficiency for the department to teach classes with needed
technology and reduce the inconvenience of transporting a cart across campus for classes and lessen the burden
of not having the ability to teach classes when equipment is not available due to closures within the IT Department
on campus.

Additional Human Resources Needed to Implement Annual Program Goals in Section VII―Faculty, Staff, Student Workers,
and Others

student learning outcomes, program data, and external scans. Link the request to an annual program goal in Section VII.

A.
Faculty
Currently the Kinesiology/Health Department at Pierce College is in the process of reinstituting the
Kinesiology major to meet the growing need and to fulfill student request for lower division classes in this
field. Many students from Pierce College transfer to nearby California State University, Northridge which
has a robust Kinesiology Department.
To fill the need of lower division classes required to successfully have a transfer program into Northridge,
Pierce College will be required to offer more academic class types which have not been offered since the
1970’s when the major was last available. The core classes in the major will be offered during the
mornings and early afternoons (primetime) when most of our student populations are available to take
them. The expertise of a fulltime instructor with a strong background in community health and a general
knowledge base in the field of kinesiology (exercise physiology, biomechanics, health, and basic
anatomical kinesiology) is needed to help conduct a successful reinstatement of the major and the future
growth of the program here at Pierce College.
Currently we are a department which has one fulltime health instructor and two fulltime kinesiology
instructors. To diversify the courses in health that educate our students on chronic diseases and to
provide an understanding in preventive action of personal well-being an additional health faculty member
is needed. A broad understanding of core health classes (Principles of Healthy Living-Health 11 and
Women’s Health-Health 8) plus other health topics such as human sexuality, social and community
diseases, and general wellness will create a competitive program. If s/he has the skill-set to teach major
and/or activity classes within kinesiology will vastly support our program making it stronger. The
diversification of the health program at Pierce College will make it more attractive to prospective students
who may be consider pursuing their education at our sister colleges in the district. The integrity of a
Kinesiology ADT major will increase with the majority of the core classes in both kinesiology/health are
taught by fulltime faculty fully invested in the success of the program here at Pierce College.
One of current fulltime kinesiology instructors has the duties of department chairman. With release time
comes a deduction in class teaching load limiting the ability to teach the core classes needed to have a
strong major program and maintain the current program. The addition of a fulltime health instructor (with
a strong kinesiology background) is crucial in the success of a major to ensure the program’s diversity and
growth. Classes that would be taught are: The Introduction to Kinesiology, Basic First Aid and CPR,
Movement and Motor Learning, Introduction Into Personal Training and public health based classes:
general health-Health 11 and other areas existing under the health umbrella (human sexuality, fitness and

Describe any improvements, alterations, and technological upgrades required for existing facilities to implement program goals.
Provide a comprehensive justification based on program goals, student learning outcomes, program data, and external scans.
1. Heating System and Pool Filters – Large Pool. The pools were a part of the Mini PE project. Currently they are over 30 years
old and difficult to fix. Systems need to be replaced within the next 2 years. $200,000
2. Shade Structures – Currently we are using non-permanent structures to provide shade for the facility. These structures need
to be replaced every year and are likely to break as the wind become more aggressive. These would cover the bleachers, deck,
and over the pool office. $20,000
3. Lane Lines – Lane lines are old and starting to corrode. The metal wiring is starting to fray and is causing safety issues. They
reduce waves and this can also help prevent dangerous situations for novice swimmers. New lane lines would increase the
lifespan of the pool covers because it will slide easily over the pool. $10,000
4. Outdoor Shower – This will allow us to have patrons shower easily before entering the swimming pool. We will use less
chemicals, save hose water, and it allows us to keep our pool water for a longer amount of time. $3,000
