  • COMPTON COLLEGE 1 Benchmark and Dashboard Project
    Running head: BENCHMARK AND DASHBOARD PROJECT: COMPTON COLLEGE 1 Benchmark and Dashboard Project: Compton College Sean Moore Pennsylvania State University BENCHMARK AND DASHBOARD PROJECT: COMPTON COLLEGE 2 Benchmark and Dashboard Project: Compton College Introduction In this paper, I selected Option 3: Create a Benchmark and Dashboard Report to compare Compton College to three other California Community Colleges located in Los Angeles County: El Camino College, Long Beach City College, and Cerritos College. The benchmarking rationale for comparing Compton College to these institutions is that they share the same institutional class, have geographical proximity, all offer vocational programs, and their students have similar demographic makeup. Compton College recently attained autonomous accreditation and will be improving and expanding its infrastructure over the next 5 years. These improvements will potentially provide growth opportunities in both student enrollment and staffing. Currently, Compton College is smaller than its local rivals and examining surrounding competition provides insight into unlocking the college’s potential. As a result, online data collected will provide a platform to build benchmarking graphs regarding significant indicators. Data from these indicators below will be helpful in the institution’s decision-making process regarding the size and type of infrastructure to build. These findings will be shared with the Compton College Infrastructure Committee. List of Specific Indicators a) Current size of student body enrollment b) Student–faculty ratio c) Number of degree programs through certificates and associates programs d) Size of campus by area BENCHMARK AND DASHBOARD PROJECT: COMPTON COLLEGE 3 Rational for Indicators The categorical and ordinal indicators above are important because they can be used to justify arguments for infrastructure improvements and growth.

  • Compton College Recognizes 2019-2020 Distinguished Faculty and Staff
    N E W S Compton College | Community Relations 1111 E. Artesia Boulevard, Compton, CA 90221 310-900-1600, Ext. 2968 | [email protected] For Immediate Release September 8, 2020 Compton College Recognizes 2019-2020 Distinguished Faculty and Staff Compton College recently announced its honorees for the 2019-2020 Distinguished Faculty and Staff awards. The annual awards recognize outstanding faculty and staff members for their commitment to Compton College and its educational mission. Eyob Wallano, biological sciences professor; John Yeressian, real estate adjunct professor; and Annette Simmons, mail clerk/switchboard operator were recognized for their dedication to students, Compton College, and colleagues. Eyob Wallano, recipient of the Distinguished Faculty Award, is a biological sciences professor who has worked as a Compton College full-time faculty member since 2007. He was previously honored as a distinguished faculty member in 2016. During his time at Compton College, Wallano has advocated for students and has taken a leadership role in the development of increased opportunities for students interested in pursuing science disciplines. In 2010, he organized and established Compton College’s student-maintained Science Garden to serve as a hands-on teaching platform and research opportunity for students. In 2015, he organized the first science research symposium/conference for students at Compton College, which he has continued to organize annually. Currently, Wallano serves as co-chair of Compton College’s Health, Safety and Parking Committee. When it comes to teaching, Wallano believes there are six cognitive levels of processing that move from simple to more complex: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. He integrates these cognitive developmental levels into his lessons, moving from the most basic and literal to the most complex and abstract.
