More Demographics

• There is a 13 (207)increase in the number of
  students enrolled under the age of 22 from 5
  years ago
• There is an 11 increase in the number of
  students of color from five years ago (nearly 10
  of our winter enrollment, 602 students)

10
The Statistic that causes concern

• The largest growing area of the College is in our
  Foundation Studies, pre-college level classes for
  many of our 18-19 year old students. This
  requires a huge investment in resources in an
  already tight budget.

ACHIEVING THE DREAM INITIATIVE
12
Access to Success

• Community colleges enroll almost half of all U.S.
  undergraduate students, and the American public
  appreciates their commitment to providing broad
  access. 
• But access alone isnt enough. Currently fewer
  than half of community college students meet
  their educational goals.
• Achieving the Dream is working to help more
  students earn certificates or degrees that open
  the door to better jobs, further education, and
  greater opportunity.

13
ACHIEVING THE DREAM

• New Students Placing into
• Developmental Education

60 of all new students place into at least one
developmental course (reading, writing, and/or
math) Of these, 54 place into two developmental
education courses
Students entering in Fall 2005

What does our DE student population look like ?

• Higher percentage of males, students of color and
  traditional-age students (under 25) in reading
  and writing
• In math courses, we saw a higher percentage of
  females, students of color and tradition-age
  students.

15
