Foundational Planning

Task Forces 

Action-oriented recommendations on academic portfolio, student success and student affairs 

In the fall of 2018, we convened three task forces to address the academic portfolio, student success and student affairs. Over 170 students, staff and faculty served on the task forces and numerous subcommittees. They made recommendations on specific strategies to improve student outcomes, reduce equity gaps, realign student affairs functions to better serve students, and strengthen, expand, or phase out programs and services. Some of these recommendations were incorporated into the Strategic Enrollment and Student Success plan.

Strategic Enrollment & Student Success

Strategic imperatives for student success and enrollment growth 

The Strategic Enrollment and Student Success (SESS) plan developed in the spring of 2019 and now being implemented is a critical foundation for the 2019-20 planning process. No matter how we envision our future, the SESS plan’s strategic imperatives—aligned admissions efforts, community college transfer partnerships, integrated student support, and targeted coaching—will remain essential.
