Ogden, First Floor, Chicago, IL 60608 ­ [email protected] ● 312­746­4300 ­ www.cityofchicago.org/bacp ­ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Lehia Franklin Acox, [email protected]; 773-960-1908 (c) Improved taxi program starts at Olive-Harvey College June 2 � Certificate program offers expanded capacity, courses and location May 25, 2012 (CHICAGO)—City Colleges of Chicago today announced that its newly expanded and strengthened public chauffeur licensing program—revamped to meet Chicago’s immediate need for hundreds of new taxi drivers—will begin classes June 2, 2012 at Olive-Harvey College. City Colleges also will launch a shuttle service between the Olive-Harvey campus and the 95th Street Chicago Transit Authority bus and train hub to provide all students quick and easy access to the school from public transportation. For more information on the program and shuttle schedule, please call (773) 291-6100 or visit the Olive-Harvey College web site. Earlier this month, City Colleges of Chicago and the City of Chicago’s Department of Business Affairs & Consumer Protection announced the program’s move from Harold Washington College to Olive-Harvey College. The move allows for the enactment of comprehensive taxi safety and training reforms announced by Mayor Emanuel in December 2011, which incorporated input from taxi companies, drivers, independent owner-operators and aldermen. With driving simulation technology, a road course and expanded classroom space, the Olive-Harvey-based program will offer enhanced behind-the-wheel training, customer service skills, and will leverage the school’s educational resources in the areas of transportation, distribution and logistics (TDL) as part of the College to Careers initiative. “Olive-Harvey’s unique assets will help ensure that Chicago’s taxi drivers hit the road safely with strong customer service skills, geographical knowledge and increased small business experience,” says Cheryl Hyman, chancellor, City Colleges of Chicago. “This is part of City Colleges’ mission: to offer relevant education and skills training that drives Chicago’s economic growth.” One goal of the program is to increase the number of certified drivers by 50 percent. Currently, Harold Washington College produces up to 1,000 certified drivers each year. No current students will be affected by the move, and current program instructors will move from Harold Washington College to Olive-Harvey College. City Colleges plans to add instructors to meet growing student demand. In March, Chancellor Hyman, Mayor Emanuel and Governor Pat Quinn announced the construction of a new transportation, distribution and logistics center at Olive-Harvey College as part of City Colleges’ College to Careers initiative. The facility will be the first comprehensive TDL education center in the state, preparing students for an estimated 110,000 jobs over the next 10 years in the growing ground, air and rail transport, multi-modal distribution and logistics fields. ABOUT: The City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) is the largest community college system in Illinois and one of the largest in the nation, with 5,800 faculty and staff serving 120,000 students annually at seven colleges and six satellite sites city-wide. The City Colleges of Chicago is in the midst of a Reinvention, a collaborative effort to review and revise CCC programs and practices to ensure students leave CCC college-ready, career-ready and prepared to pursue their life's goals. The City Colleges of Chicago includes seven colleges: Richard J. Daley College, Kennedy-King College, Malcolm X College, Olive-Harvey College, Harry S Truman College, Harold Washington College and Wilbur Wright College. The system also oversees the Washburne Culinary Institute, the French Pastry School, two restaurants, five Child Development Centers, the Center for Distance Learning, the Workforce Institute, the public broadcast station WYCC-TV Channel 20 and radio station WKKC-FM 89.3.

  • Illinois MAP-Approved Colleges' and Universities' Graduation Rates and Student Loan Default Rates
    Illinois MAP-Approved Colleges’ and Universities’ Graduation Rates and Student Loan Default Rates All schools that participate in Title IV Programs (Pell Grants, Stafford Direct Student Loans) must report a graduation rate to the Department of Education’s IPEDs data system. This rate is the percentage of first- time, full-time freshmen who complete their programs within 150% of the expected time-to-degree. For students in a bachelor’s program, this would mean completing in 6 years. For students in an associate’s program, it would mean completing within 3 years. The Department of Education also tracks 3-year student loan cohort default rates – the rate at which students default on their student loans within three years of beginning repayment. The table below lists school CDRs and graduation rates and also shows total undergraduate enrollment by school and some additional information to further explain CDRs and graduation rates. The “% of FT/FT in the graduation rate” describes the percentage of students who were included in the calculation of the 150% graduation rate. A low percentage here means that many students are attending part-time or began their studies at some other institution. The “% of students with loans” is the percent of students with at least one federal Stafford direct loan. It does not include private loans, credit card debt or loans initiated by parents.

  • Kennedy-King College EQUITY PLAN: INSPIRING INNOVATION for EQUITY and IMPACT
    Illinois Equity in Attainment Kennedy-King College EQUITY PLAN: INSPIRING INNOVATION FOR EQUITY AND IMPACT August 20, 2020 Executive Summary Kennedy-King College (KKC) formed both a Strategic Enrollment Management Planning Advisory Committee (SEMPAC) and a corresponding Equity Core Team (ECT) to create the College’s Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) Plan with equity being the primary lens through which our strategies would rest. KKC galvanized its efforts for equity as one of the 28 participating colleges in the Illinois Equity in Attainment (ILEA) Initiative, activating the College’s ECT to support the launch of an agreement to close the gap in graduation for students of color by 2025. The results of that transparent and inclusive collaborative effort are illustrated in the Equity Focused SEM Plan. Introduction The Equity Focused SEM Plan represents Kennedy-King College’s commitment to moving the campus forward by fostering excellence in teaching, learning, scholarship, student- centeredness, and civic engagement through an equity lens. As Kennedy-King College embarks on its 50th Anniversary, the campus looks ahead to a changing landscape in higher education as new global and local realities take shape. Some of the challenges that KKC faces include demographic and population shifts, increased competition for students, and unprecedented patterns of declining state funding support. Current State The SEMPAC and the ECT analyzed Kennedy-King College’s current state of enrollment via a review of an institutional and environmental data scan. For the 2017-18 academic year, the typical credit student at KKC was female, African-American, aged 16-24, and part-time. Given KKC’s specific student demographic, the College is inherently poised to have a profound and positive impact on equity.

Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences University of North Dakota Grand Forks, ND June 23-27, 2014 Shared goals for STEM Education 1. For the United States to retain its leadership role in STEM fields we have to increase both quantity and quality of students pursuing STEM degrees. 2. To enable non-science majors to participate in the public discourse about health care, environment and other STEM-based issues and make personal decisions informed by STEM, we need to improve the quality of general education courses. Evidence-based strategies • Increasing the number of students pursuing STEM degrees: Reach out to students from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields, such as minority groups and women • Improving the quality of STEM education: Integrate authentic research experiences, especially early on during students’ college careers. • Increasing scientific literacy: Replace “cookbook and taxform” labs with authentic, open ended labs in general education courses for non- science majors.

  • Kennedy-King College 5-Year Strategic Plan.Pdf
    2014-2018 From the President Four years ago, City Colleges of Chicago embarked upon a sweeping reform effort called Reinvention, the central purpose of which was to dramatically improve student outcomes. This research-based, data-driven initiative, now in its fourth year, has been guided by the following goals: • Increase the number of students earning college credentials of economic value. • Increase the rate of transfer to bachelor’s degree programs following graduation. • Drastically improve outcomes for students requiring remediation. • Increase the number and share of ABE/GED/ESL students who advance to and succeed in college-level courses. The hard work of Reinvention task forces comprised of faculty, staff and students has already paid off. Kennedy-King College’s graduation rate has more than tripled since the launch of Reinvention, rising from 8 percent to 26 percent in FY2013. The total number of degrees and certificates awarded in FY2013 was 1,164, a more than 75 percent increase compared to four years earlier. And the college’s enrollment and retention outcomes for FY13 were on target or exceeded goals for that year. These are impressive gains that everyone at the college can be proud of. They are also proof that our continued efforts will yield even greater student successes. This five-year strategic plan, an outgrowth of City Colleges’ district-wide strategic plan and reform efforts, lays out a detailed vision for further delivering on the promise of Reinvention. All of its goals are designed to empower students and support their dreams, whether they involve gaining immediate employment or transferring to a four-year institution.

  • Chicago Golden Trumpet Award for Endless Possibilities Excellence in Newspapers Or Magazines
    Fall 2010 No Limits Idea Shop and IPRO 2.0 Are Facilitating Limitless Learning Steven PoSter Zooming in on technology Cheryl hyman Finding her Spirit reSearCh Secure Broadband networks, Developing a hand exoskeleton from the President “TellmeandIforget.ShowmeandIremember.Involvemeand Iunderstand.”—Chinese proverb When I started teaching at the college level in 1971, there was little pedagogy to the profession except “smart in, smart out.” The emphasis was on course content and not on learning, which was assumed to be the responsibility of students. The fact is, learning is the responsibility of both students and faculty, and it doesn’t occur just in the classroom. There has been much progress in college-level teaching since I started. No university teacher disputes the importance of gaining disciplinary knowledge; a student should graduate knowing something. However, now there is an appreciation that students learn in different ways, not just one way, and that teachers must try to reach their students using multiple approaches. There is a greater appreciation that out-of-classroom activities are very important to supplement in-class learning. Communication skills, the ability to work in teams composed of persons with different educational and social backgrounds, and embracing change as an opportunity instead of a threat—these attributes are also part of learning at the college level. Students tend to have difficulty in courses that involve open-ended problems where there is not a single correct answer or perfect solution; of course, their careers will be determined by how well they address such problems. One of IIT’s priorities is to provide a distinctive education.
