37 Citrus Community College District Board of Trustees MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT/PRESIDENT Every year, more than 20,000 students enroll at Citrus College. Carefully juggling multiple responsibilities, such as work and family, they attend their classes with the dream of one day earning an associate degree, transferring to a four-year college or university, or earning a certificate. In return, the college community is committed to doing everything it can to help these students reach their academic and professional goals. This long-standing commitment to student achievement was made even stronger during the 2016-2017 academic year. Faculty and staff continued to uphold their exemplary standard of academic excellence and service, resulting in several significant milestones. I am proud to share some of the year’s highlights in this Annual Report. As you will read, all of these accomplishments underscore the college’s focus on college completion. Of course, success is never a solitary pursuit. Rather, it is the product of skillful collaboration. Whether it was the introduction of a dynamic strategic plan or the dedication of a beautiful new campus building, the progress Citrus College achieved in 2016-2017 was made possible by the leadership of its board of trustees, the hard work of its employees, and the support of its community leaders and local residents. This collective effort is reflected in this publication’s theme, “The Art of Student Success.” At no time was the importance of collaboration more evident than during the commemoration of the Citrus College Foundation’s 50th anniversary. In November 2016, more than 300 guests gathered at the college to celebrate the Foundation’s history of philanthropic involvement and the forging of partnerships to provide scholarships and other resources to help students meet their educational goals. This spectacular event emphasized the fact that great things happen when a group of individuals are united in purpose. Relationships are the key to the Citrus College Foundation’s remarkable growth over the past 50 years, and relationships are what will empower the entire college community to fulfill its goal of increasing college completion rates. The financial support, professional expertise, encouragement and goodwill of our friends and donors truly impact the lives of our students. Thank you for supporting and encouraging Citrus College as we work to foster and increase student success.

YEAR IN REVIEW

Citrus College has long been a national leader and innovator in higher education. Serving the diverse educational needs of thousands of students every year, the college community is dedicated to doing all it can to help students earn associate degrees, transfer to four-year institutions and work in the professions of their choice. Operating on the cutting edge of progress and change, Citrus College has created a legacy of excellence that is reflected in its many accolades and achievements. During the 2016-2017 academic year, the college set a new standard of success by expanding its student support services, introducing new technology and planning for the future. The year’s achievements are indicative of a first-rate institution of higher education that is laser-focused on student success and college completion.

“ The Art of S tudent Success" 2533 2737 151317119 371 RECEIVING As Citrus College was concluding the 2016-2017 academic year, it received confirmation from the Accrediting Commission FULL ACCREDITATION for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) that the college had met all eligibility requirements, standards and commission policies for full accreditation.

Accreditation is the primary means by which colleges and universities in the both assure and improve their quality. The ACCJC is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as one of the nation’s seven regional accrediting commissions.

The organization’s findings were based on its review of Citrus College’s follow-up report to the fall 2015 comprehensive review, as well as the accompanying evidentiary materials, which were submitted to the ACCJC in March 2017. “I am extremely proud of the entire Citrus College community for its skilled and dedicated work to ensure that the college met the ACCJC’s high standards for accreditation,” said Dr. Geraldine M. Perri, superintendent/ president of Citrus College.

Superintendent/President Perri credited the successful outcome to the vision and guidance of the board of trustees, as well as the leadership of the accreditation co-chairs, Dr. Arvid Spor and Ms. Roberta Eisel. Their dedicated team worked tirelessly to maintain educational quality and support student success.

“ The Art of S tudent Success" 2533 2737 151317119 371 PLANNING As Citrus College was completing the remaining goals of its 2011-2016 Strategic Plan, a group of 35 dedicated employees FOR THE FUTURE began the process of developing a new blueprint that would guide the institution for the next five years. Chaired by Dr. Lan Hao, director of institutional research, planning and effectiveness, the Strategic Planning Work Group began the process by reviewing a wide range of factors, such as the external environment, local issues and institutional statistics. Examining data regarding Citrus College students was one of the most important elements of the planning process. To develop a meaningful plan, it was critical to ask the question:

“Who are our students?”

Throughout the year-long process, the Strategic Planning Work Group, which included representatives from all Citrus College constituent groups, solicited feedback from the college community through college-wide surveys, FLEX day activities, presentations at board meetings and group discussions. The result is a new five-year plan with one overarching goal: increase student success and completion. The 2016-2021 Strategic Plan includes 11 focus areas and 18 college-wide measurable objectives. There were 99 activities outlined for the first year of the Strategic Plan and significant progress was made on each of them.

“ The Art of S tudent Success" 2533 2737 151317119 371 PROVIDING Citrus College is committed to providing students with the INNOVATIVE SERVICES support they need to achieve their educational and professional AND VALUABLE RESOURCES goals. For example, the college hosts a Welcome Day event prior to the start of every academic year. Over 200 new students attended this event in August 2016. They discovered more about the campus, learned about the tools available to facilitate academic and personal success, and became acquainted with faculty and staff.

Early Decision is another Citrus College program that assists students with the transition from high school to college. It involves four steps that successfully prepare them for enrollment. Steps three and four are completed on the college’s campus and involve students taking English and math assessment tests before meeting with counselors and educational advisors to discuss the scores. During the spring 2017 semester, more than 900 local high school students attended these Early Decision workshops.

Once students are enrolled, Citrus College offers additional tools to support student completion. I Will Complete College (IWCC) is an innovative program designed for first-time students who assess at or below college level in English and/or math. Participants receive coaching from completion specialists and are allowed to pre-register for their necessary English and math classes. There were 417 students in the 2016-2017 IWCC cohort.

Innovative and valuable services such as these enhance the experience of Citrus College’s students and create a positive learning environment in which student success is fostered.

“ The Art of S tudent Success" 2533 2737 151317119 371 MAKING TECHNOLOGICAL Citrus College is committed to enhancing the student experience through the use of technology. During the spring 2017 semester, ADVANCEMENTS great strides were made in this area. In April, the college unveiled its mobile app. The Citrus College Technological and Computer Services (TeCS) Department worked with DubLabs, a mobile solution firm, to choose the app’s design and maximize its appeal for smartphone users. It features access to the college’s website, emergency contacts, a campus map, links to the library, each student’s currently enrolled courses and more.

Additionally, TeCS developed an online catalog in the spring. Using Leapfrog’s management software, CourseLeaf Catalog is designed to fully integrate the existing college website and allow for easy access to content, such as program requirements and prerequisites, transfer information, and Spanish translations.

Citrus College also began the process of transitioning to Canvas, a new teaching management system that is designed to make learning easier by providing all digital academic tools in one convenient location.

Finally, the college began searching for software that would aid with program assessment. Ultimately, Taskstream was selected, which is designed to assist those working on student learning outcomes and program reviews.

Citrus College 23 21 CITRUS COLLEGE FOUNDATION A Message from the Citrus College Foundation President

Dear Friends, It was my privilege to serve as the 2016-2017 president of the Citrus College Foundation Board of Directors. In addition to working diligently in support of Citrus College, my fellow board directors and I had the honor of leading the Foundation through the commemoration of its golden anniversary. When the Citrus College Foundation was established in 1966, its sole purpose was to serve as the receiving agency for charitable gifts to support struggling college students. Since that time, it has evolved into an instrumental partner in support of the college’s mission, which ensures that Citrus College students succeed in their educational endeavors. This significant progress is made possible by the financial partnerships with donors, alumni, community members and employees who have chosen to invest in the lives of students Stephen R. Baker throughout the past five decades by supporting the Citrus College Foundation. During the 2016-2017 academic year, the growth of the Citrus College Foundation continued. Relationships were built, partnerships were developed and connections were made to help ensure that the college’s students would have the necessary resources to reach their goals. Highlights from the year include: • Celebrating the Citrus College Foundation’s 50th anniversary • Distributing scholarships, grants and other awards in support of student success • Awarding innovation grants to members of the college community for educational enrichment Of course, these are just a few of the exciting developments that took place during this eventful year. Additional informational pieces are shared in the following pages. As you will see, the Citrus College Foundation has established an important legacy that continues to change and enhance the lives of innumerable students. Thank you for your role in allowing the Citrus College Foundation to reach this milestone year. While the Foundation’s 50th anniversary celebration provided the perfect opportunity to reflect on the past, it also helped emphasize the importance of planning for the future. In the months and years ahead, we will strive for creative and innovative ways to build support for Citrus College. With your continued assistance, we will empower even more students to complete their academic majors, transfer to four-year colleges and universities, enter the workforce, and lead the productive lives of which they have dreamed.

Stephen R. Baker President, Citrus College Foundation July 2016-June 2018

24 Foundation Golden Anniversary

The Citrus College Foundation rolled out the red carpet to celebrate its 50th anniversary in November 2016. More than 300 guests gathered on the Citrus College campus to commemorate five decades of fostering partnerships, recognizing philanthropic involvement, and providing scholarships and resources to help students meet their academic goals. The event, Spotlight on Citrus, provided Citrus College with the opportunity to thank the donors, alumni, community members and employees who have invested in the lives of students throughout the years. Because of these steadfast supporters, the Foundation has experienced significant growth and progress since its beginning in 1966. Evidence of this can be seen in the more than $2 million in scholarships, financial aid and grants that have been awarded to thousands of deserving students over the past 50 years. During its initial 16 years of operation, the Foundation served as the receiving arm for donations made to Citrus College. This modest role was sufficient until the early 1980s, when the United States entered a severe economic recession. With state funding for community colleges cut dramatically, college administrators throughout California began reevaluating the role of their foundations. In 1984, with a resourceful board of directors and a new director of development, the Foundation developed goals including increasing the visibility of the college and supporting performing arts programs. One of the organization’s most significant undertakings in the 1980s was bringing an effort to support technology to the campus . Over the following years, the Foundation continued to build on its positive momentum . In addition to forging relationships and making connections in the surrounding communities, it supported the college by providing funds for facility upgrades, instructional equipment and special academic projects. Superintendent/President Perri welcomes guests to Spotlight on Citrus. Settling into its fourth decade of service to Citrus College, the Foundation actively sought outside funding. Some of the significant contributions it received during this time included grants from the Foundation for California Community Colleges, the Walmart Foundation and the Ahmanson Foundation. Campus and community contributors continued to drive the Foundation's effectiveness in the new millennium. An example was a major gift presented to the organization in 2005. In February of that year, longtime Azusa resident Marie Philleo honored the legacy of her time at Citrus Union High School and Citrus College with a majority portion of her estate, which exceeded $500,000.
