HENRY SHANNON: Hello and welcome
to Chaffey College my name.

00:00:04.340 --> 00:00:07.580 align:middle line:84%
Is Dr. Henry Shannon and I am
the superintendent president

00:00:07.580 --> 00:00:09.440 align:middle line:90%
here at Chaffey College.

00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:16.370 align:middle line:84%
This year marks 140 years since
Chaffey first opened its doors.

00:00:16.370 --> 00:00:20.600 align:middle line:84%
In 1883, we were a small
school of agriculture

00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:23.000 align:middle line:90%
based in the city of Ontario.

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.180 align:middle line:84%
Our founders, George
and William Chaffey,

00:00:26.180 --> 00:00:30.440 align:middle line:84%
envisioned a local college that
would provide quality education

00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:34.790 align:middle line:84%
for the citrus growing
families in this region.

00:00:34.790 --> 00:00:38.660 align:middle line:84%
Today our vision
is much broader.

00:00:38.660 --> 00:00:41.570 align:middle line:84%
To improve lives
through education.

00:00:41.570 --> 00:00:46.910 align:middle line:84%
In 2023, we have grown
into a vast center

00:00:46.910 --> 00:00:52.670 align:middle line:84%
of learning that serves around
28,000 students per year

00:00:52.670 --> 00:00:57.050 align:middle line:84%
across four campuses
throughout the Inland Empire.

00:00:57.050 --> 00:01:03.390 align:middle line:84%
I'm always proud to say that we
serve the top 100% of students

00:01:03.390 --> 00:01:05.880 align:middle line:84%
who apply to our
college, providing

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:10.020 align:middle line:84%
quality instruction, access to
general financial aid for those

00:01:10.020 --> 00:01:12.870 align:middle line:84%
who qualify, and
support services

00:01:12.870 --> 00:01:15.870 align:middle line:84%
and offering a wide
variety of degrees

00:01:15.870 --> 00:01:20.070 align:middle line:84%
and certificates designed
to propel students forward

00:01:20.070 --> 00:01:22.470 align:middle line:84%
in their academic
and career goals.

00:01:22.470 --> 00:01:25.470 align:middle line:84%
At Chaffey, we value
our roots and are

00:01:25.470 --> 00:01:27.610 align:middle line:90%
proud of where we started.

00:01:27.610 --> 00:01:30.720 align:middle line:84%
Now we are looking
forward to the future

00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:33.930 align:middle line:84%
where we are evolving to
meet the needs of the growing

00:01:33.930 --> 00:01:36.770 align:middle line:90%
communities we serve.

00:01:36.770 --> 00:01:39.260 align:middle line:84%
Our campuses are
growing as well thanks

00:01:39.260 --> 00:01:42.530 align:middle line:84%
to the taxpayers who
passed Measure P.

00:01:42.530 --> 00:01:46.640 align:middle line:84%
Plans are in place to build
new campuses in Fontana

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:48.680 align:middle line:90%
and Ontario.

00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:52.190 align:middle line:84%
On our Rancho campus, we're
building a new library

00:01:52.190 --> 00:01:56.960 align:middle line:84%
learning commons and renovating
our campus center and swimming

00:01:56.960 --> 00:01:57.530 align:middle line:90%
pool.

00:01:57.530 --> 00:02:02.660 align:middle line:84%
And in Chino, we have a
new 35,000 square foot

00:02:02.660 --> 00:02:08.729 align:middle line:84%
academic building estimated
to be completed next summer.

00:02:08.729 --> 00:02:12.040 align:middle line:84%
Chino happens to
be a place where

00:02:12.040 --> 00:02:14.590 align:middle line:84%
some exciting
innovations have been

00:02:14.590 --> 00:02:17.210 align:middle line:90%
taking place in the classroom.

00:02:17.210 --> 00:02:21.040 align:middle line:84%
Here's a look at how our
vocational nursing program is

00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:23.980 align:middle line:84%
using virtual reality
equipment to train

00:02:23.980 --> 00:02:26.550 align:middle line:90%
the next generation of nurses.

00:02:26.550 --> 00:02:29.850 align:middle line:90%


00:02:29.850 --> 00:02:32.400 align:middle line:84%
NARRATOR: The Chaffey College
Chino Education Center

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:36.210 align:middle line:84%
is located just a couple miles
north of the main Chino campus.

00:02:36.210 --> 00:02:38.520 align:middle line:84%
Here nursing students
learn everything

00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.610 align:middle line:84%
from taking blood pressure
to administering injections

00:02:41.610 --> 00:02:43.470 align:middle line:90%
to delivering babies.

00:02:43.470 --> 00:02:46.410 align:middle line:84%
There are three labs featuring
top of the line equipment

00:02:46.410 --> 00:02:47.940 align:middle line:90%
in a hospital-like setting.

00:02:47.940 --> 00:02:51.840 align:middle line:84%
Between 100 to 150
vocational nursing students

00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.030 align:middle line:84%
receive training and
certification testing

00:02:54.030 --> 00:02:55.500 align:middle line:90%
here every year.

00:02:55.500 --> 00:02:59.070 align:middle line:84%
In fall 2022, the program
began incorporating

00:02:59.070 --> 00:03:01.200 align:middle line:84%
human patient
simulation technology

00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:03.420 align:middle line:84%
in vocational nursing
instruction thanks

00:03:03.420 --> 00:03:05.700 align:middle line:90%
to a Strong Workforce grant.

00:03:05.700 --> 00:03:08.640 align:middle line:84%
Chaffey College is one of
the few Southern California

00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:11.490 align:middle line:84%
Community Colleges using
this technology in nursing

00:03:11.490 --> 00:03:12.360 align:middle line:90%
education.

00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.140 align:middle line:90%


00:03:15.140 --> 00:03:16.970 align:middle line:84%
ERIC SORENSON: My name
is Dr. Eric Sorensen

00:03:16.970 --> 00:03:18.770 align:middle line:84%
and I'm the Dean of
the health and wellness

00:03:18.770 --> 00:03:21.830 align:middle line:90%
academic and career community.

00:03:21.830 --> 00:03:25.400 align:middle line:84%
Our goal is really to have
the same equipment that

00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:27.800 align:middle line:84%
exists in the
hospitals, exists in

00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.470 align:middle line:84%
the various clinical
environments in our skills

00:03:30.470 --> 00:03:31.130 align:middle line:90%
labs.

00:03:31.130 --> 00:03:32.780 align:middle line:84%
LIDIA LOPEZ: Here
at Chaffey we have

00:03:32.780 --> 00:03:36.920 align:middle line:84%
so many avenues of educating
here doing simulation.

00:03:36.920 --> 00:03:39.290 align:middle line:84%
We have high
fidelity mannequins.

00:03:39.290 --> 00:03:41.190 align:middle line:90%
We have virtual simulation.

00:03:41.190 --> 00:03:43.672 align:middle line:84%
And the students get to
learn a lot hands on.

00:03:43.672 --> 00:03:46.130 align:middle line:84%
ELYSSA BOLDING: It's really
hard and it's really difficult,

00:03:46.130 --> 00:03:48.470 align:middle line:84%
but it's really awesome
to come to class

00:03:48.470 --> 00:03:50.390 align:middle line:84%
and know that your
professors care about you

00:03:50.390 --> 00:03:53.000 align:middle line:84%
and your classmates are also
willing to help you out.

00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.040 align:middle line:84%
Chaffey College is
like a community

00:03:55.040 --> 00:03:58.322 align:middle line:90%
and that's why I really like it.

00:03:58.322 --> 00:04:00.030 align:middle line:84%
ERIC SORENSON: Virtual
reality has really

00:04:00.030 --> 00:04:02.430 align:middle line:84%
opened the door for our
students to continue

00:04:02.430 --> 00:04:04.320 align:middle line:90%
to solidify their skills.

00:04:04.320 --> 00:04:09.990 align:middle line:84%
LIDIA LOPEZ: It literally gives
you the view of an entire room.

00:04:09.990 --> 00:04:11.610 align:middle line:84%
You have a patient
in front of you.

00:04:11.610 --> 00:04:12.640 align:middle line:90%
You have the nurse.

00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:14.250 align:middle line:90%
You have medication.

00:04:14.250 --> 00:04:17.490 align:middle line:84%
You have everything that you
would in a normal situation

00:04:17.490 --> 00:04:18.390 align:middle line:90%
in real life.

00:04:18.390 --> 00:04:21.029 align:middle line:84%
ELYSSA BOLDING: The VR
simulation is really cool.

00:04:21.029 --> 00:04:23.640 align:middle line:84%
You kind of go into
a whole other world.

00:04:23.640 --> 00:04:26.730 align:middle line:84%
There was a little puddle on
the floor in the VR world,

00:04:26.730 --> 00:04:30.040 align:middle line:84%
but I kept stepping over it
thinking that it was real.

00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.100 align:middle line:84%
LIDIA LOPEZ: You feel
so immersed into it.

00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:33.960 align:middle line:84%
You really do feel
like you're in there.

00:04:33.960 --> 00:04:36.240 align:middle line:84%
ERIC SORENSON: And this
provides a realistic learning

00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:37.000 align:middle line:90%
environment.

00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.270 align:middle line:84%
So they're not
practicing on patients.

00:04:39.270 --> 00:04:41.670 align:middle line:84%
They're practicing
in their simulations.

00:04:41.670 --> 00:04:43.170 align:middle line:84%
LIDIA LOPEZ: To
practice skills, get

00:04:43.170 --> 00:04:46.050 align:middle line:84%
accustomed to doing nursing
procedures and skills

00:04:46.050 --> 00:04:50.430 align:middle line:84%
so they can get ready for
bedside nursing at hospitals,

00:04:50.430 --> 00:04:52.965 align:middle line:84%
at clinical sites
with real patients.

00:04:52.965 --> 00:04:54.840 align:middle line:84%
ELYSSA BOLDING: I was
able to call the doctor

00:04:54.840 --> 00:04:58.020 align:middle line:84%
and ask for what kind of orders
that the patient may need

00:04:58.020 --> 00:05:00.160 align:middle line:90%
and give a whole SBAR report.

00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.940 align:middle line:84%
That was something new for
me, because in the VR world,

00:05:03.940 --> 00:05:07.090 align:middle line:84%
we're able to experience
a higher stress level

00:05:07.090 --> 00:05:10.420 align:middle line:84%
scenarios versus clinicals we
may not experience the same.

00:05:10.420 --> 00:05:11.920 align:middle line:84%
ERIC SORENSON: It's
important for us

00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.620 align:middle line:84%
to replicate a realistic
clinical environment

00:05:14.620 --> 00:05:18.040 align:middle line:84%
because our students will
ultimately be clinicians

00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:20.970 align:middle line:84%
dealing with and caring
for real patients.

00:05:20.970 --> 00:05:22.720 align:middle line:84%
LIDIA LOPEZ: The
students are enjoying it.

00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:23.840 align:middle line:90%
It's very fun.

00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:25.090 align:middle line:90%
It's interactive.

00:05:25.090 --> 00:05:27.990 align:middle line:90%
Technology is here.

00:05:27.990 --> 00:05:29.760 align:middle line:84%
ELYSSA BOLDING: I
was very nervous

00:05:29.760 --> 00:05:32.340 align:middle line:84%
coming into this program,
but every week I get through,

00:05:32.340 --> 00:05:33.690 align:middle line:90%
I get way more confident.

00:05:33.690 --> 00:05:36.720 align:middle line:84%
I feel a lot of support
and a lot of love here.

00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.210 align:middle line:84%
As long as I'm willing
to do my end of the deal,

00:05:39.210 --> 00:05:42.030 align:middle line:84%
they're willing to help me out
as much as they can as well.

00:05:42.030 --> 00:05:44.670 align:middle line:84%
LIDIA LOPEZ: It's a very
rewarding teaching nursing,

00:05:44.670 --> 00:05:47.790 align:middle line:84%
just seeing these
students become successful

00:05:47.790 --> 00:05:49.402 align:middle line:90%
and meeting their goals.

00:05:49.402 --> 00:05:51.360 align:middle line:84%
ERIC SORENSON: Educating
those in our community

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:53.880 align:middle line:84%
and impacting their lives
is really what we do.

00:05:53.880 --> 00:05:55.830 align:middle line:84%
And we do this at
a very low cost

00:05:55.830 --> 00:05:58.890 align:middle line:84%
that it provides accessibility
to everybody in our community.

00:05:58.890 --> 00:06:03.080 align:middle line:90%


00:06:03.080 --> 00:06:04.970 align:middle line:84%
NARRATOR: Chaffey College
surveyed thousands

00:06:04.970 --> 00:06:08.270 align:middle line:84%
of its students in 2020 asking
about the challenges they

00:06:08.270 --> 00:06:11.240 align:middle line:84%
have faced in the wake
of the COVID-19 pandemic.

00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:13.520 align:middle line:90%
The results were alarming.

00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:18.350 align:middle line:84%
62% said they had experienced
at least one type of basic needs

00:06:18.350 --> 00:06:21.320 align:middle line:84%
insecurity, ranging from
lacking sufficient food

00:06:21.320 --> 00:06:22.670 align:middle line:90%
to homelessness.

00:06:22.670 --> 00:06:25.520 align:middle line:84%
Students were also asked
about their mental being.

00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:29.000 align:middle line:84%
It was discovered that
31% were experiencing

00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.900 align:middle line:84%
at least moderate anxiety
and 32% faced oppression

00:06:32.900 --> 00:06:34.550 align:middle line:90%
from the pandemic.

00:06:34.550 --> 00:06:37.130 align:middle line:84%
Chaffey College
quickly took action.

00:06:37.130 --> 00:06:39.590 align:middle line:84%
As part of its 10
point plan to address

00:06:39.590 --> 00:06:41.900 align:middle line:84%
necessary institutional
improvements

00:06:41.900 --> 00:06:45.050 align:middle line:84%
and armed with the belief that
a holistic approach to serving

00:06:45.050 --> 00:06:48.290 align:middle line:84%
students is imperative to
overall student success,

00:06:48.290 --> 00:06:51.620 align:middle line:84%
Chaffey hired a Director of
Social Wellness and Behavioral

00:06:51.620 --> 00:06:55.400 align:middle line:84%
Support as an additional new
wellness resource for students.

00:06:55.400 --> 00:06:58.483 align:middle line:90%
Meet Dr. Jennifer Henry.

00:06:58.483 --> 00:07:00.400 align:middle line:84%
JENNIFER HENRY: My name
is Dr. Jennifer Henry.

00:07:00.400 --> 00:07:03.250 align:middle line:84%
I'm the Director of Social
Wellness and Behavioral Support

00:07:03.250 --> 00:07:06.700 align:middle line:90%
here at Chaffey College.

00:07:06.700 --> 00:07:09.640 align:middle line:84%
Since Dr. Henry Shannon
created his 10 point plan,

00:07:09.640 --> 00:07:13.120 align:middle line:84%
we have increased the
capacity to serve our student

00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:16.030 align:middle line:84%
body because they did
experience social isolation

00:07:16.030 --> 00:07:18.248 align:middle line:90%
during the global pandemic.

00:07:18.248 --> 00:07:20.040 align:middle line:84%
JUAN MARIN MARTINEZ:
My name is Juan Marin.

00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:22.350 align:middle line:90%
I have social anxiety.

00:07:22.350 --> 00:07:25.860 align:middle line:84%
All the struggles of being
undocumented, no papers.

00:07:25.860 --> 00:07:27.180 align:middle line:90%
I have no work permit.

00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:30.600 align:middle line:90%
Then at 21, I had my first baby.

00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.100 align:middle line:84%
I have to do something
with my life,

00:07:32.100 --> 00:07:34.210 align:middle line:84%
because my baby
has Down syndrome.

00:07:34.210 --> 00:07:37.660 align:middle line:84%
So now I have to figure
out, what am I going to do.

00:07:37.660 --> 00:07:39.640 align:middle line:84%
It was a little bit hard
going through school.

00:07:39.640 --> 00:07:42.280 align:middle line:90%
I had issues with depression.

00:07:42.280 --> 00:07:44.930 align:middle line:84%
I found out about the
Windows Between Worlds.

00:07:44.930 --> 00:07:47.140 align:middle line:84%
And I found out they
had art therapy.

00:07:47.140 --> 00:07:50.230 align:middle line:84%
JENNIFER HENRY: A Window
Between Worlds was specifically

00:07:50.230 --> 00:07:52.780 align:middle line:90%
created as a creative outlet.

00:07:52.780 --> 00:07:54.940 align:middle line:84%
We have that outlet
for them if they

00:07:54.940 --> 00:07:56.983 align:middle line:90%
don't wish to do talk therapy.

00:07:56.983 --> 00:07:58.900 align:middle line:84%
JUAN MARIN MARTINEZ: The
way I was brought up,

00:07:58.900 --> 00:08:02.500 align:middle line:84%
Mexican culture is very
traditional, very masculine.

00:08:02.500 --> 00:08:03.950 align:middle line:90%
You can't show your emotions.

00:08:03.950 --> 00:08:05.620 align:middle line:84%
So we only hugged
in our family when

00:08:05.620 --> 00:08:07.390 align:middle line:90%
it was holidays or birthdays.

00:08:07.390 --> 00:08:11.180 align:middle line:90%


00:08:11.180 --> 00:08:13.177 align:middle line:84%
It was a real nice
to find an outlet,

00:08:13.177 --> 00:08:15.010 align:middle line:84%
because I disregarded
my mental health a lot

00:08:15.010 --> 00:08:17.577 align:middle line:90%
because I had to be this person.

00:08:17.577 --> 00:08:19.660 align:middle line:84%
SPEAKER: Can you talk us
through that piece of art

00:08:19.660 --> 00:08:20.860 align:middle line:90%
that you made a little bit?

00:08:20.860 --> 00:08:21.943 align:middle line:90%
JUAN MARIN MARTINEZ: Yeah.

00:08:21.943 --> 00:08:24.520 align:middle line:84%
It was-- do you
want me to bring it?

00:08:24.520 --> 00:08:28.810 align:middle line:90%


00:08:28.810 --> 00:08:32.020 align:middle line:84%
I like nature that
is more like my--

00:08:32.020 --> 00:08:32.799 align:middle line:90%
like a safety.

00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:34.539 align:middle line:90%
I like to go hiking.

00:08:34.539 --> 00:08:38.780 align:middle line:84%
A knife just because the
way I was brought up,

00:08:38.780 --> 00:08:41.049 align:middle line:90%
I seen a lot of violence.

00:08:41.049 --> 00:08:42.970 align:middle line:90%
I seen a lot of bad things.

00:08:42.970 --> 00:08:46.600 align:middle line:90%
I wrote a little thing.

00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:52.960 align:middle line:84%
I was born a mistake, but
I was raised to exist.

00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:58.370 align:middle line:84%
And it took me 80 years to
learn to accept to love failure

00:08:58.370 --> 00:08:59.660 align:middle line:90%
and here I am.

00:08:59.660 --> 00:09:06.010 align:middle line:84%
So it seemed like because
it was very personal.

00:09:06.010 --> 00:09:09.020 align:middle line:90%


00:09:09.020 --> 00:09:12.590 align:middle line:84%
I don't have to be the person
that I'm expected to be.

00:09:12.590 --> 00:09:14.750 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to be the
person I want to be.

00:09:14.750 --> 00:09:18.740 align:middle line:84%
And that's one of the things I
really liked about art therapy.

00:09:18.740 --> 00:09:20.570 align:middle line:84%
It did provide me
with that outlet

00:09:20.570 --> 00:09:24.350 align:middle line:84%
to express myself something
that I wouldn't casually share,

00:09:24.350 --> 00:09:24.890 align:middle line:90%
I guess.

00:09:24.890 --> 00:09:27.160 align:middle line:90%
So yeah.

00:09:27.160 --> 00:09:29.650 align:middle line:84%
JENNIFER HENRY: We have heard
some really great feedback.

00:09:29.650 --> 00:09:33.730 align:middle line:84%
I think there's more comfort
level in terms of reaching out

00:09:33.730 --> 00:09:38.260 align:middle line:84%
because they now have a specific
person or a specific group

00:09:38.260 --> 00:09:41.860 align:middle line:84%
to turn to when they are going
through some difficult times

00:09:41.860 --> 00:09:43.040 align:middle line:90%
in their lives.

00:09:43.040 --> 00:09:45.050 align:middle line:84%
TAMIA NEWMAN: My
name is Tamia Newman.

00:09:45.050 --> 00:09:47.500 align:middle line:84%
My experience at my
former institution

00:09:47.500 --> 00:09:51.010 align:middle line:84%
had been so bad it
was hard to want

00:09:51.010 --> 00:09:53.800 align:middle line:84%
to be involved in the community,
because I didn't really

00:09:53.800 --> 00:09:56.860 align:middle line:84%
trust anyone and feeling
like I don't belong,

00:09:56.860 --> 00:09:58.180 align:middle line:90%
like I don't fit in.

00:09:58.180 --> 00:10:01.930 align:middle line:84%
That changed when I
came to Chaffey College.

00:10:01.930 --> 00:10:03.970 align:middle line:84%
JENNIFER HENRY: We
found in 2020 alone

00:10:03.970 --> 00:10:08.530 align:middle line:84%
31% of our students experienced
anxiety and 32% of our students

00:10:08.530 --> 00:10:10.580 align:middle line:90%
experienced depression.

00:10:10.580 --> 00:10:14.050 align:middle line:84%
TAMIA NEWMAN: Mental health
is still very stigmatized

00:10:14.050 --> 00:10:17.030 align:middle line:84%
because it's not a one
size fits all situation.

00:10:17.030 --> 00:10:19.678 align:middle line:90%


00:10:19.678 --> 00:10:21.220 align:middle line:84%
JENNIFER HENRY: We
have students that

00:10:21.220 --> 00:10:26.260 align:middle line:84%
are facing homelessness, housing
insecurity, food insecurity,

00:10:26.260 --> 00:10:31.750 align:middle line:84%
gender identity
issues, and then some.

00:10:31.750 --> 00:10:35.200 align:middle line:84%
TAMIA NEWMAN: Chaffey College
has created opportunities

00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.160 align:middle line:84%
and spaces for you to get
mental health services that

00:10:39.160 --> 00:10:42.250 align:middle line:84%
are catered to specific
parts of your identity

00:10:42.250 --> 00:10:43.540 align:middle line:90%
or specific struggles.

00:10:43.540 --> 00:10:45.790 align:middle line:84%
And I think that
that's really unique.

00:10:45.790 --> 00:10:47.770 align:middle line:84%
JENNIFER HENRY:
She approached me

00:10:47.770 --> 00:10:51.160 align:middle line:84%
and she saw the
need for those who

00:10:51.160 --> 00:10:56.145 align:middle line:84%
are suffering from mental
health and also substance use.

00:10:56.145 --> 00:10:57.520 align:middle line:84%
TAMIA NEWMAN: We
created a group.

00:10:57.520 --> 00:10:59.590 align:middle line:90%
It was called Seeking Safety.

00:10:59.590 --> 00:11:02.030 align:middle line:90%
I struggled with addiction.

00:11:02.030 --> 00:11:05.770 align:middle line:84%
And I think my favorite
thing about Dr. Henry was

00:11:05.770 --> 00:11:07.750 align:middle line:84%
that she was flexible
and adaptable

00:11:07.750 --> 00:11:10.420 align:middle line:84%
and she listened to
me and she created

00:11:10.420 --> 00:11:14.260 align:middle line:84%
care that was tailored to
what I was going through.

00:11:14.260 --> 00:11:18.010 align:middle line:84%
Redefining who I am as a
person was really difficult.

00:11:18.010 --> 00:11:20.920 align:middle line:84%
And Chaffey College
gave me an opportunity

00:11:20.920 --> 00:11:24.010 align:middle line:84%
to connect with the community
and kind of redefine myself.

00:11:24.010 --> 00:11:28.060 align:middle line:84%
I wasn't held back by everything
I had been in the past.

00:11:28.060 --> 00:11:30.520 align:middle line:84%
It was really refreshing
and empowering.

00:11:30.520 --> 00:11:31.160 align:middle line:84%
JUAN MARIN MARTINEZ:
I wish I would

00:11:31.160 --> 00:11:32.690 align:middle line:84%
have known about
these services before,

00:11:32.690 --> 00:11:33.950 align:middle line:84%
because I think it would
have helped me a little bit

00:11:33.950 --> 00:11:35.360 align:middle line:90%
earlier to see things better.

00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.400 align:middle line:84%
If I knew about the
workshops and all the things

00:11:37.400 --> 00:11:39.465 align:middle line:84%
that Chaffey, I think
it would help me a lot.

00:11:39.465 --> 00:11:41.090 align:middle line:84%
TAMIA NEWMAN: Coming
to Chaffey College

00:11:41.090 --> 00:11:43.470 align:middle line:90%
has definitely changed my life.

00:11:43.470 --> 00:11:47.030 align:middle line:84%
I have had so many opportunities
that I probably wouldn't

00:11:47.030 --> 00:11:48.660 align:middle line:90%
have gotten anywhere else.

00:11:48.660 --> 00:11:52.310 align:middle line:84%
And the support system
is just immaculate.

00:11:52.310 --> 00:11:54.710 align:middle line:84%
Chaffey College did change
my life for the better.

00:11:54.710 --> 00:11:58.990 align:middle line:90%


00:11:58.990 --> 00:12:00.460 align:middle line:84%
NARRATOR: Chaffey
College continues

00:12:00.460 --> 00:12:03.550 align:middle line:84%
to focus on developing
more pathways to education.

00:12:03.550 --> 00:12:06.520 align:middle line:84%
A prime example of this
is the growth and success

00:12:06.520 --> 00:12:07.840 align:middle line:90%
of dual enrollment.

00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:10.900 align:middle line:84%
Through dual enrollment,
Chaffey provides college courses

00:12:10.900 --> 00:12:13.210 align:middle line:84%
to high school and
adult education students

00:12:13.210 --> 00:12:15.500 align:middle line:84%
through participating
schools in the region.

00:12:15.500 --> 00:12:17.500 align:middle line:84%
This past summer,
Chaffey enrolled

00:12:17.500 --> 00:12:20.830 align:middle line:84%
more than 2,500 students who
took at least one college

00:12:20.830 --> 00:12:21.880 align:middle line:90%
course.

00:12:21.880 --> 00:12:24.370 align:middle line:84%
In September, Chaffey
signed an agreement

00:12:24.370 --> 00:12:26.830 align:middle line:84%
with the Chaffey Joint
Union High School District

00:12:26.830 --> 00:12:30.130 align:middle line:84%
to pilot a team teaching
model for high school seniors.

00:12:30.130 --> 00:12:31.960 align:middle line:84%
Through this model,
students will

00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:34.510 align:middle line:84%
be able to fulfill their
high school and college

00:12:34.510 --> 00:12:37.030 align:middle line:84%
English requirements in
one class that happens

00:12:37.030 --> 00:12:38.740 align:middle line:90%
during the regular school day.

00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:42.040 align:middle line:84%
And this fall, Chaffey
introduced its second cohort

00:12:42.040 --> 00:12:45.100 align:middle line:84%
of students to the Lawrence
Sanchez U-College Academy,

00:12:45.100 --> 00:12:48.100 align:middle line:84%
an innovative program hosted
by Upland High School.

00:12:48.100 --> 00:12:50.620 align:middle line:84%
In this unique program,
high school students

00:12:50.620 --> 00:12:52.750 align:middle line:84%
are able to take
Chaffey College classes

00:12:52.750 --> 00:12:54.400 align:middle line:84%
during their regular
bell schedule

00:12:54.400 --> 00:12:57.280 align:middle line:84%
and have full time
counselors providing support.

00:12:57.280 --> 00:13:00.530 align:middle line:84%
Here is Jessica Ahumada
from Upland High School

00:13:00.530 --> 00:13:03.170 align:middle line:84%
to tell you more about
U-College Academy.

00:13:03.170 --> 00:13:05.895 align:middle line:90%


00:13:05.895 --> 00:13:07.520 align:middle line:84%
JESSICA AHUMADA: At
Upland High School,

00:13:07.520 --> 00:13:09.020 align:middle line:84%
we have a partnership
with Chaffey.

00:13:09.020 --> 00:13:12.110 align:middle line:84%
And so we offer the dual
enrollment program as well as

00:13:12.110 --> 00:13:13.323 align:middle line:90%
U-College Academy.

00:13:13.323 --> 00:13:15.990 align:middle line:84%
JURNEE CAMPBELL: Dual enrollment
is while you're in high school,

00:13:15.990 --> 00:13:17.557 align:middle line:90%
you complete college credits.

00:13:17.557 --> 00:13:19.640 align:middle line:84%
I've already completed a
couple of college classes

00:13:19.640 --> 00:13:22.070 align:middle line:84%
that count for
high school credit

00:13:22.070 --> 00:13:24.680 align:middle line:84%
these college courses count
as high school courses.

00:13:24.680 --> 00:13:27.630 align:middle line:84%
So the students aren't doing
more, they're doing better.

00:13:27.630 --> 00:13:30.440 align:middle line:84%
They're having the opportunity
to experience college courses

00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.100 align:middle line:90%
in high school.

00:13:33.100 --> 00:13:34.850 align:middle line:84%
MA'KAYLA HARRISON: I
absolutely love being

00:13:34.850 --> 00:13:36.440 align:middle line:90%
in the dual enrollment program.

00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:38.570 align:middle line:84%
I don't feel like it's
an extra load added

00:13:38.570 --> 00:13:40.160 align:middle line:84%
onto my schedule
versus something

00:13:40.160 --> 00:13:42.217 align:middle line:84%
that's very manageable
in my schedule.

00:13:42.217 --> 00:13:44.300 align:middle line:84%
JURNEE CAMPBELL: There's
a time mapped out for you

00:13:44.300 --> 00:13:46.250 align:middle line:84%
in your high school
schedule to be

00:13:46.250 --> 00:13:49.045 align:middle line:84%
able to complete classes and
ask for help, ask for support.

00:13:49.045 --> 00:13:50.420 align:middle line:84%
JESSICA AHUMADA:
The best part is

00:13:50.420 --> 00:13:52.610 align:middle line:84%
they have a counselor
and a teacher that

00:13:52.610 --> 00:13:55.850 align:middle line:84%
is assigned to support them on
campus during their schedule

00:13:55.850 --> 00:13:57.110 align:middle line:90%
here at Upland High School.

00:13:57.110 --> 00:13:58.250 align:middle line:84%
JOAQUIN GONZALEZ-SALGADO:
Going into Chaffey College,

00:13:58.250 --> 00:14:00.200 align:middle line:84%
there are counselors,
there are tutors,

00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:02.117 align:middle line:84%
there are people willing
to help you and guide

00:14:02.117 --> 00:14:03.650 align:middle line:90%
you to be successful.

00:14:03.650 --> 00:14:05.930 align:middle line:84%
Going into my first
counselor meeting,

00:14:05.930 --> 00:14:07.775 align:middle line:84%
my counselor laid out
a full course plan

00:14:07.775 --> 00:14:09.150 align:middle line:84%
that helped make
sure that you're

00:14:09.150 --> 00:14:11.430 align:middle line:84%
successful throughout the
whole path of dual enrollment.

00:14:11.430 --> 00:14:12.840 align:middle line:84%
JURNEE CAMPBELL: They're
really good at laying

00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:14.940 align:middle line:84%
out the plan, your
options, and telling

00:14:14.940 --> 00:14:16.360 align:middle line:90%
you what classes you can take.

00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:17.860 align:middle line:84%
JESSICA AHUMADA:
And so the students

00:14:17.860 --> 00:14:21.300 align:middle line:84%
know that there is someone
designated just to support them

00:14:21.300 --> 00:14:22.500 align:middle line:90%
in their journey.

00:14:22.500 --> 00:14:24.720 align:middle line:84%
MA'KAYLA HARRISON: I
felt like I wasn't alone

00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.520 align:middle line:84%
and I knew that any
confusions, questions I had,

00:14:27.520 --> 00:14:30.420 align:middle line:84%
I felt so comfortable to come
to the faculty and staff.

00:14:30.420 --> 00:14:33.627 align:middle line:84%
It was just an amazing
overall experience.

00:14:33.627 --> 00:14:35.460 align:middle line:84%
JESSICA AHUMADA: Here
at Upland High School,

00:14:35.460 --> 00:14:38.010 align:middle line:84%
our dual enrollment program
offers college courses

00:14:38.010 --> 00:14:39.540 align:middle line:90%
to our students at no cost.

00:14:39.540 --> 00:14:40.950 align:middle line:84%
JURNEE CAMPBELL: Even when
you have to buy your books,

00:14:40.950 --> 00:14:43.575 align:middle line:84%
they give you a grant and you're
able to get your books shipped

00:14:43.575 --> 00:14:45.040 align:middle line:90%
to you and everything is free.

00:14:46.470 --> 00:14:49.260 align:middle line:84%
to experience what you're truly
passionate about without having

00:14:49.260 --> 00:14:51.430 align:middle line:84%
the worry of spending
so much money for it.

00:14:51.430 --> 00:14:53.180 align:middle line:84%
JESSICA AHUMADA: There's
a lot of students

00:14:53.180 --> 00:14:55.620 align:middle line:84%
that don't have the
opportunity to access college

00:14:55.620 --> 00:14:57.270 align:middle line:90%
after they graduate high school.

00:14:57.270 --> 00:14:59.590 align:middle line:84%
They might not have the
resources, the support.

00:14:59.590 --> 00:15:01.650 align:middle line:84%
It might be a language
barrier, family barrier,

00:15:01.650 --> 00:15:02.935 align:middle line:90%
socioeconomic barrier.

00:15:02.935 --> 00:15:04.560 align:middle line:84%

do college and high school

00:15:06.870 --> 00:15:09.167 align:middle line:84%
coursework without saying
it's a lot on myself.

though I'm only a sophomore,

00:15:11.250 --> 00:15:13.920 align:middle line:84%
I've already started thinking
about what I want to do ahead

00:15:13.920 --> 00:15:16.110 align:middle line:84%
of college, what I
want to do as a career,

00:15:16.110 --> 00:15:18.360 align:middle line:84%
and that wouldn't have
been possible without U.

00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:19.860 align:middle line:84%

00:15:30.513 --> 00:15:32.370 align:middle line:84%
with very unique
success stories.

00:15:32.370 --> 00:15:34.600 align:middle line:84%
JURNEE CAMPBELL: That's
going to get me so far ahead.

00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:36.975 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to be able to skip
a couple of years in college

00:15:36.975 --> 00:15:37.780 align:middle line:90%
when I get there.

00:15:37.780 --> 00:15:39.190 align:middle line:84%

JURNEE CAMPBELL: I
felt so proud of myself

00:15:44.300 --> 00:15:46.930 align:middle line:84%
because I completed something
that not a lot of people

00:15:46.930 --> 00:15:47.555 align:middle line:90%
are completing.

00:15:47.555 --> 00:15:49.472 align:middle line:84%
MA'KAYLA HARRISON: It
makes me feel empowered.

00:15:49.472 --> 00:15:50.565 align:middle line:90%
It makes me feel strong.

00:15:50.565 --> 00:15:51.940 align:middle line:84%
I'm right on path
to where I want

00:15:51.940 --> 00:15:54.190 align:middle line:84%
to go in life and the
goals I have set forth

00:15:54.190 --> 00:15:56.710 align:middle line:84%
