SPEAKER: Anyone who works here knows
there is no place quite like Chaffey College.
Thanks to our dynamic faculty and staff,
we proudly serve nearly 30,000 students.
Through our core principles of equity, collaboration,
innovation, risk taking, and leadership,
we were able to create 10 innovative programs
to transform the student experience.
In 1999, Chaffey College created the basic skills initiative
to help students who were struggling
to succeed in this area.
Since that time, completion and transfer rates have increased.
Chaffey college launched its student success centers in 2000
to help prepare students for college level work.
Through opening doors, students who
are struggling to reach their academic goals
map out a plan with a counselor to help them get back on track.
The Faculty Success Center supports
innovative instructional practices to our faculty
in order to improve the scholarship of teaching.
Through Chaffey college's online collection
of reference material or cybraries,
not only do students have access to a wide range of materials
at the libraries on our three campuses
but they can also conduct research.
Hope, Engage, Succeed is a framework
encouraging these practices into a mindset
to help students reach their goals.
This was developed after research showed
too many students were failing.
This work created the success centers,
which have since garnered national praise and acclaim
from both the Lumina and Hewlett foundations.
Through its redesigned teaching program,
the Maths Way project helps students
complete the pre-transfer math sequence faster.
Chaffey College seeks to help all students succeed
through its student equity plan and the Bringing Light
to Ourselves and Others through Multiculturalism, also known
as the BLOOM program.
Student equity supports underrepresented students
and marginalized groups such as foster youth and formerly
incarcerated students.
BLOOM is a professional development program
aimed at closing achievement gaps
among underrepresented groups.
Every year, more than 50,000 visits
are made by students to the Guiding Panthers to Success,
or GPS, centers to help them register, plan their course
load and monitor academic goals.
In 2016, Chaffey College began the Guided Pathways program
to give students a roadmap to plan out their course,
stay on track, and complete their academic goals more
efficiently.
Chaffey College is among 20 California community colleges
selected to implement guided pathways.
In 2018, the English department was one of 11 recipients
statewide to receive a chancellors higher education
innovation award for $1 million.
The award recognizes the work English faculty did
to eliminate lower level English classes and also
reform placement practices, so that more students
from underrepresented groups place directly into transfer
level English classes.
Because of our dedicated faculty and staff,
Chaffey College has been able to help
our students grow and prosper into being the best
individuals they can be.
