2009 | COLLEGE ANNUAL REPORT | 2010 Perspective on the year 2009 | 2010

The recently completed academic year of 2009-10 could be described as a “balancing act.” Like the other 111 community colleges in California, found itself trying to meet intense student demand for classes while being faced with funding cutbacks by the state. At the same time, we had to look strategically at the needs of the dis- trict, including building labs and classrooms to serve our students. More than once I’ve been asked how AVC can be building at a time when colleges everywhere are reducing classes due to budget cuts. First, it’s important to realize that construction money is entirely sepa- rate from our general fund that pays for instructor salaries, staff and our daily operations. Construction projects are funded through a com- bination of state bond money and local bond money from Measure R. Construction money can’t be used for anything else.

We have a serious need for new labs and classrooms to serve the Antelope Valley. In the past year, AVC: • Opened an $8.4 million Environmental Horticulture Science Building. • Broke ground for a 107,000-square-foot Health and Science Building to replace 50-year-old science labs and expand space for our popular health sciences programs in registered nursing, radiologic technology and other fields. • Opened a new Auto Body Facility containing the best equipment in the industry. • Made substantial progress on construction of a Theatre Arts Facility that will provide instructional space for our students in theater, music and dance when it opens in 2011. • Opened a Facilities Services and Warehouse complex, at a cost of $13.7 million, to provide vital support to the college’s operations. • Opened a Physical Agility and Running (PAR) course for the public— part of AVCs West Campus Expansion Project. The lighted course, just west of Brent Carder Marauder Stadium, provides a convenient walk- ing and running path as well as exercise stations. • Advanced plans for a solar energy project that will substantially reduce the college’s utility costs when it goes online in 2011.

To provide quality education that enriches lives and builds futures. vision2 | ANTELOPE VALLEY COLLEGE 2009 | 2010 ANNUAL REPORT A V C P erseveres through econo m ic d o w nturn

The recession and high unemployment have increased demand for classes as students turn to AVC to acquire the education and skills they need to be competitive in the workforce. In spite of budget cuts, we actually served more students last year than the state funded. Also, growth continues at our Palmdale Center, where we experienced a 67 percent increase in student enrollment in 2009-10. This past year marked the first graduation of students from the Students on the Academic Rise (SOAR) High School based at AVC. Students in this Early College High School program have among the highest Academic Per- formance Indicator (API) scores in the entire state as they take a combina- tion of high school and college classes. Add in the fact that AVC hosts California State University, Bakersfield-An- telope Valley, and you have a campus where a student could start classes in ninth grade and complete an education through the master’s degree level. To assure the public that our college continues to meet the highest standards for serving our students, we undertook an extensive self study in preparation for a fall 2010 accreditation review. This process occurs every six years. As you can see, in spite of the budget challenges, Antelope Valley College remains a vibrant and forward-looking community college. I hope you enjoy reviewing some of the highlights contained in this 2009-10 Annual Report. Sincerely,

Dr. Jackie L. Fisher Sr. Superintendent | President Antelope Valley Community College District

Providing a wide range of educational opportunities for Antelope Valley residents requires Antelope Valley College to devote a large portion (84 percent) of its budget to faculty, support staff and administrators.

GUIDING FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS WITH COLLEGE GOALS IS A NATURAL FOR SCHOLAR

Carol Eastin was chosen by her peers earlier this year for Antelope Valley College’s highest honor awarded to a faculty member: Scholar in Residence. As a counselor, Eastin established California’s first reentry program for students, she was the first AVC counselor to provide walk-in counseling along with counseling for students taking night classes, and she was instrumental in starting AVC’s Faculty Academy to aid and support faculty members through workshops, programs and classes. It’s an impressive record and one that convinced her colleagues to honor her as Scholar in Residence, an award that recognizes faculty members who—among other factors—demonstrate dedication to innovation and excellence in education.

Eastin’s commitment to serve students and colleagues is guided by three popular quotations: • Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. • Find a need and fill it. • Do what you do so well that people want to see you do it again. Eastin, who had grown up in the Antelope Valley, started working at AVC when the college had just 5,000 students—many of whom she knew. “AVC students were my friends and their parents, my classmates, neigh- bors and acquaintances,” she said. “A few years ago more than half of the homes on my block had one or more occupants attending AVC. I sat at their kitchen tables and discussed their college goals and progress. Some sat at my table or joined me as I walked my two huskies every night after work because AVC had a severe shortage of counselors, and still does.” Eastin’s work pays her great dividends. “Probably the greatest joy of working at AVC is seeing students’ lives and careers blossom,” she said. “I am gratified beyond measure to have been given such a great college by those who came before us and to share a commitment with my colleagues to serve our students well.”

4 | ANTELOPE VALLEY COLLEGE 2009 | 2010 ANNUAL REPORT RESEARCHER PROVIDES TOOL TO AID STUDENT SUCCESS

In working as a researcher at the university and community college level, Ted Younglove has developed a solid reputation of being able to make accurate and timely forecasts for making decisions. However, when he developed a model to estimate the probability that certain students would fail courses, it wasn’t just enough that he could make accurate predictions. He wanted to find a way to help the students. That desire led to an innovative project that has become a model for California community colleges. Called “Probability Based Advising for Basic Skills Courses,” Younglove and his research staff worked with AVC counselors to create a tool for helping students make better-informed choices about the classes they choose. The project focuses on students in need of certain basic skills in math, reading or writing to prepare them for college-level cours- es. Counselors are able to show the data to students to help guide them toward appropriate basic skills courses. Probability-based advising was introduced for winter and spring of 2009 and has been in use since then. Probability-based advising caught the attention of the statewide organization of researchers and planners, the RP Group, which in 2010 selected it for its Excellence in Research: College or District Award.

ANTELOPE VALLEY COLLEGE 2009 | 2010 ANNUAL REPORT | 5 Contributing to AVC

Since 2002, the AVC Foundation has contributed more than $3.5 million in financial support back to the college, scholarships have quintupled, and nearly $50,000 in grants have been provided to the faculty and staff to meet unfunded needs. As a board member of the Antelope Valley College Foundation for more than seven years, I have the opportunity to witness the significant impact Antelope Valley College has on our community. In these challenging economic times, AVC is still the most accessible and affordable option to obtain additional education. Transfer education to begin pursuit of a college degree is provided by the exceptional faculty and staff. There is vocational training for our nurses, firefighters, various technicians, and sheriff’s deputies, along with strong support for diverse arts programs and competitive athletics programs that are all present at AVC.

PROVI D ING

The AVC Foundation’s role continues to evolve and expand with the in- creased number of students, now nearly 16,000 combined attending at either the Palmdale or Lancaster location. The Foundation’s volunteers and donors work to fulfill the unmet needs to provide the greatest chance possible for all Antelope Valley residents to access quality educational opportunities. With the Foundation’s past successes, the need is greater now than ever. With the help of our donors, corporate supporters and volunteers we will continue to provide quality education for the students attending Antelope Valley College. Philanthropy has played a key role in shaping and sup- porting the efforts of Antelope Valley College, and the following pages honor those who have given so generously. Thank you for your past and continued support of Antelope Valley College students. supportMost sincerely, Bret Banks, President Antelope Valley College Foundation

STUDENT RECEIVES TWO AVC Foundation SCHOLARSHIPS TO ATTEND HOMETOWN SCHOOL

Like so many other high school graduates, Bri Bloemendaal was torn between leaving her hometown to attend a university or saving money by attending Antelope Valley College. “I decided it would be smarter to stay at home and save money,” said Bloemendaal, a 2009 graduate of Desert Christian High School. After getting over the initial disappointment of not moving on to a university, Bloemendaal found that AVC was a good fit.

“After a semester here, I was really happy with my classes, my instructors,” she said. “I’ve actually had a really good experience here. It exceeded my expectations.” Since money was a factor in choosing AVC, Bloemendaal received a further boost last spring when she was awarded two $500 scholarships through the AVC Foundation: the James V. DuPratt Jr. Scholarship Endowment and the Lancaster West Rotary Scholarship Foundation. An injury kept Bloemendaal—an experienced high school volleyball player— from pursuing volleyball her first year at AVC. But love of the sport brought her back to the court in 2010 where she plays as an opposite hitter and middle back defender for the AVC Marauders. When Bloemendaal isn’t studying, she can be found pursuing her other pas- sion: music. She is a self-taught guitarist and pianist who started writing her own songs in junior high. She performs her music, described as “acoustic folk,” at a local coffee house. Also, she leads worship at a local church. Her dream job is to find a way to combine her love of music with writing. Bloemendaal plans to transfer to a university after she graduates from AVC in spring 2011. As for her time at AVC, she has no regrets. “I think it’s a great school,” she said.
