SPEAKER: Chaffey College prides itself
on being forward looking, focusing
on quality improvements, and fostering
a culture of innovation that inspires our community.
The college's mission statement shapes our daily work
and creates the college's legacy--
improving lives through education.
Since 2011 the college has been engaged in widespread dialogue
and making efforts to redefine student success by reimagining
the student experience.
Academic and Career Communities are
selected by students when they apply
based on their academic and career goals.
The community structure fosters connections
among students with similar career
interests and coursework.
The Academic and Career Community structure
consists of three parts.
The structure provides academic pathways
that develop critical skills and knowledge needed
for a successful future across a spectrum of disciplines.
The structure engages career aspirations
by helping students explore potential career pathways,
develop and enhance employability skills,
and connect to thriving wage jobs.
Finally, the structure builds community for students
by addressing their well-being, connecting them with support,
and creating a sense of belonging at Chaffey.
Success Teams are focused on cross-campus collaboration
by creating a responsive, systemic,
and strategic approach to student support.
Success Coaches are a point of contact
to ensure students are prepared and connected
to their Success Team and the greater Chaffey community.
Forward momentum continues with initiatives focused
on restructuring website content and continuing to build
and activate the community structure
with a focus on an equitable student experience.
By designing at scale, we aim to ensure the scope of our impact
closes the achievement gap for all disproportionately affected
groups.
By harnessing the potential of each individual effort,
new structure, and opportunity for collaboration,
we can create a cohesive and supportive culture
that best positions Chaffey students for the future.
