  • Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) at Ten Years: Stakeholder Convenings Summary
    Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) at Ten Years: Stakeholder Convenings Summary Fulfilling the Promise: The Associate Degree for Transfer California’s Community Colleges (CCC) serve approximately 2.1 million students, providing educational opportunity to a diverse student body and promising an affordable path for students to reach their college and career goals. The Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) has become a cornerstone of the CCC transfer process and a critical component of California’s transfer landscape. By allowing students more accessible reentry points to completing a bachelor’s degree through an admissions guarantee to the California State University (CSU), the ADT provides students with an easily accessible onramp to expediently complete a bachelor’s degree. The Associate Degree for Transfer was established in 2010 to create a streamlined transfer pathway for CCC students to the California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) by aligning coursework necessary to transfer to a CSU or the UC with the coursework needed to earn an associate degree with the goal of ensuring CCC students earn an associate degree while on their path to transfer, streamlining the transfer requirements across the CCC system, reducing time and excess credit units for the benefit of the student and the state, and guaranteeing a student junior standing at the CSU so they can expect to achieve a Bachelor's degree within two years of transfer. The Associate Degree for Transfer has proven itself to be a successful and commonly utilized pathways to achieving transfer. As of October 2020, over 280,000 community college students have earned an ADT.

  • A Movement Towards Equity: Tracing the Impact of the Center for Urban Education's Student Equity Planning
    A MOVEMENT TOWARDS EQUITY: Tracing the Impact of the Center for Urban Education’s Student Equity Planning Institute (SEPI) By Eric R. Felix, Leticia Bustillos, and Estela Mara Bensimon HOW TO CITE Center for Urban Education. (2020). A movement towards equity: Tracing the impact of the Center for Urban Education’s student equity planning institute (SEPI). Los Angeles, CA: Rossier School of Education, University of Southern California. ACKNOWLEDGMENT The Center for Urban Education (CUE) extends its gratitude to the California Futures Foundation and ECMC Foundation for their financial support of this project. 2 | A MOVEMENT TOWARDS EQUITY: TRACING THE IMPACT OF THE CENTER FOR URBAN EDUCATION’S STUDENT EQUITY PLANNING INSTITUTE (SEPI) Executive Summary Background CALIFORNIA’S EQUITY POLICIES: Serving more than 2.3 million students across 115 institutions, California Community Colleges are the cornerstone of the state’s higher education system. They have made a commitment to provide their students opportunities to obtain not just a credential or degree, but the skills that lead to economic mobility. In order to deliver on this, they’ve collectively instituted Vision for Success, which calls for reducing equity gaps by 40 percent. This initiative is also supported by AB 1809, state legislation that aims to empower campus leaders to move beyond rhetoric of closing outcome gaps, through the Student Equity and Achievement Program and by taking meaningful action to correct unconscious biases and institutional actions that further marginalize racially minoritized students. INTRODUCING THE STUDENT EQUITY PLANNING INSTITUTE (SEPI): In order to receive funds from the program established by AB 1809, each community college must create and maintain a Student Equity Plan that explicitly addresses racial disparities students face.

ASHC welcomes Dr. Hsieh and trustees to Townhall Members of the Hartnell Community College District Board of Trustees and I were delighted on Nov. 18 to participate in a Townhall Meeting organized by the Associated Students of Hartnell College (ASHC). Joined by ASHC President and Student Trustee Samantha Saldana, who helped initiate this opportunity for dialogue, we each shared information about our personal backgrounds and why we are inspired to serve Hartnell College. About 50 students attended the event in the Student Center on Main Campus, and they asked thoughtful questions about how to support and honor student diversity at Hartnell and how the college will maintain high-quality student services on its satellite campuses, including the new centers being constructed in Soledad and Castroville. ASHC Secretary Robert Cali Rendon served as moderator. I know all of the trustees who participated shared the sentiment expressed by Board President Aurelio Salazar Jr., who said at the Nov. 19 board meeting that he looked forward to another town hall session in the future.
