  • 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.

    Developing an HAB Undergraduate Research Program at the City Colleges of Chicago Bernhard Beck-Winchatz DePaul University Tom Higgins Harold Washington College Academic High Altitude Conference John D. 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. Undergraduate Research is effective! AAC&U—Five High Impact Practices • First-Year Seminars • Learning Communities • Service Learning • Undergraduate Research • Capstone Course and Projects Why work with community colleges?

  • 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.

  • Finding Part-Time Teaching Opportunities
    Finding Part-Time Teaching Opportunities A Guide for Graduate Students and Postdocs OVERVIEW This resource provides UChicago graduate students and postdocs with guidance on finding part-time teaching opportunities, particularly in the Chicago area. UChicago graduate students, postdocs, and alumni are welcome to schedule one-on-one consultations with staff from UChicagoGRAD and the Chicago Center for Teaching to receive feedback on their job search strategies and job- related documents, including CVs and teaching statements. To schedule, log into GRAD Gargoyle (gradgargoyle.uchicago.edu) with your CNetID and select “Advising Appointments.” This guide focuses on three strategies for obtaining part-time teaching: (1) checking official job postings, (2) emailing potential employers, and (3) networking. 1. CHECK OFFICIAL JOB POSTINGS A. Search the websites of places where you would be interested in teaching. Many universities have pages displaying current openings or sites dedicated to handling job postings and applications. A list of colleges and universities in the Chicago area is provided on pages 7-8. B. Search larger portals where many colleges and universities publish job listings. HERC (Higher Ed Recruitment Consortium): https://www.hercjobs.org Higher Ed Jobs: https://www.higheredjobs.com/ Chronicle Vitae: https://chroniclevitae.com/job_search/new H-Net (Humanities and Social Sciences): https://www.h-net.org/jobs/home.php Diverse Issues in Higher Education, Diverse Jobs: http://diversejobs.net/ Professional Association Websites: Put those membership dues to good use and take advantage of the job postings and career services provided by many professional associations (e.g. AAA, AAR, SAA, AHA). 1 2. EMAIL POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS If you have a particular set of schools where you would like to work, but you haven’t located any specific job listings there, you can send a “cold-call” email introducing yourself, your academic background, and classes you could teach in the event that a position opens up.
