the major that may be required of students:

that may completely satisfy this requirement)

satisfied from courses at Community Colleges (see
http://www.csueastbay.edu/wst), but students

How does your faculty view
community college education?
• I believe the view varies by discipline
• My personal opinion is that community
colleges, when they teach Statistics, tend to
be too focused on the math/arithmetic.
Are our students prepared for the CSU
curriculum after attending LMC?
• That probably depends on the discipline.
• I cannot say I’ve had any experience with LMC
students in Statistics, either as a major or in
my courses.
What could LMC do to ensure our
students have greater success at CSU
East Bay?
• (My opinion) Ensure students have
experience writing, preferably within their
intended majors.

Latino American male students

Does our AAT Degree adequately
prepare students to be successful in
their major?
What are some of your Senate's
concerns as they relates to the AAT
degrees
• Faculty control over curriculum.
– Are the CCC courses the same as CSUEB’s?
– Cannot require more than 78 upper division
(quarter) units in the major
• Alignment of degree program goals/outcomes
What sort of additional partnerships
could be created between LMC and
CSU to improve the success
of our African American and Latino
Male Students?
• CSUEB wants to improve the success of all our
students. President Morishita set an
ambitious goal of improving graduation rates
across the board
What sort of additional partnerships
could be created between LMC and
CSU to improve the success
of our African American and Latino
Male Students?
• Faculty members have cited low graduation
rates, particularly for African American males,
as a call to action.
What sort of additional partnerships
could be created…?
• I sit on the Student Retention and Graduation
Subcommittee and we have identified the
University Writing Skills Requirement as the
main hurdle to graduation (hence, my earlier
recommendation to include substantial
writing)
• Could advising be aligned?
What sort of additional partnerships
could be created…?
• Are students, particularly Latino/a, aware of
GANAS?
