  1. Annual Committee Review Self-Assessment Form

 Severo will send out to the committee the annual committee self-assessment form. This is a form developed by the IR office. Each committee is to do a self-assessment that outlined our goals  from 17-18 and what we were able to achieve. There is also a peer review process involved.

 

  1. Other
  • Severo shared that we have been selected by the CSU system for the California Academic Partnership Program and given $12,000 for a 5-month planning grant. This is to assess our alignment and partnership with area high schools. We also will have the opportunity to write a proposal for an additional $50,000 grant. Possible activities include team building, professional development, intersegmental alignment of courses with the high school, more formalized outreach, and specific needs of the both the HS and College can be addressed.
  • Juana mentioned an email from Bakersfield College regarding an opportunity to collaborate with them and have our curriculum built into their mapper system. Juana has been tasked with taking a closer look.
  • It was mentioned that outreach and someone from IT or IR should be members of the access committee
  • A discussion of the software Starfish was had. This would replace the DegreeWorks program that has been operational. It would allow students to have control over a dashboard that would plan their educational plans as well as analytics for planning purposes. Severo provided a breakdown of the costs. Starfish would replace DegreeWorks as well as SARs grid. We have also received $90,000 as rural school for technology assistance. Some of the remaining funds may be used for the startup of Starfish.
