A note from the Chancellor

For thousands of Grossmont and Cuyamaca College students and graduates, education is the key that opens doors to a new career, a better life, and a deeper understanding of our world. We encourage our students to unlock their potential and keep an open mind as they expand their horizons through the opportunities we offer at our colleges.

In the 2016-17 academic year, we accelerated our efforts to provide access to higher education for even more students through our work with the East County Education Alliance.

We’re working with our high school partners to help ensure that their graduates are prepared for college when they walk through our doors by promoting a college-going culture in East County.

We also are taking steps to help our students succeed at Grossmont and Cuyamaca colleges. Instead of a one-size-fits-all education, Grossmont and Cuyamaca colleges are providing assistance and services to our students based on their individual backgrounds and needs. Our colleges are guiding students along the path of their educational journey, removing

Grossmont College As part of its commitment to providing an exceptional learning environment for a diverse student body, Grossmont College focused on these goals during the 2016-17 academic year that will continue to be guideposts for the college in the years to come.

Outreach: A high-quality outreach program connects potential students to the college, beginning from the first connection and extending to enrollment in classes. To expand its outreach, Grossmont College established a student ambassadors program; held workshops with more than 1,800 potential students; and hired a community liaison to connect with the growing Arabic-speaking population in East County.

Engagement: Students who participate in campus activities are more likely to stay connected and complete their education. More than 500 Grossmont College students participated in community service activities, and student organizations that serve African-American, Latino and immigrant and refugee students grew this year.

Retention: A committed, high-standards approach keeps students on track for success in achieving their educational goals. As an accelerated alternative to remedial English classes, Grossmont College created classes that provide extra tutoring and services to students who need them. Over 300 faculty members also signed a pledge to take steps to support their students by connecting them to campus resources, and offering just-in-time support to students.

Bob and Laura Duggan, longtime supporters of the theater program, donate a $20,000 matching grant for the Theatre Arts Summer Conservatory.

Cuyamaca College Following a year-long planning process, Cuyamaca College developed goals that will carry out its mission of serving a diverse community of students who seek to benefit from the college’s wide range of educational programs and services.

Accelerated Basic Skills in Math, English, and English as a Second Language: Cuyamaca College has been a statewide leader in offering accelerated classes, providing additional support to students who need it, instead of requiring students to take remedial courses that often discourage them from completing their education. In these accelerated classes, 66 percent of students completed a college-level math class in their first semester – nearly seven times higher than with traditional courses.

Guided Student Pathways: Students are provided with a clear structure that lays out the steps they need to take to reach their educational goals, increasing the number of students who complete a degree or certificate or transfer to a four-year university and closing achievement gaps. Cuyamaca College was one of 20 California community colleges selected for a project aimed at developing model pathways to boost student success and equity.

Student Validation and Engagement: Cuyamaca College is committed to creating a learning environment that validates students’ social and cultural realities, both in and out of the classroom, therefore facilitating a sense of connection and belonging. The college advanced this commitment through its on-going Diversity Dialogue series, Standing Together: Open Forum Series and cultural competence institutes for students, faculty and staff. Ninety staff and faculty members completed training and were certified in teaching men of color.

Cuyamaca College ornamental horticulture students excel in the National Collegiate Landscape Competition in which 750 students from 61 colleges and universities compete in dozens of categories. The students finished in second through sixth place in their first national tournament.

Evan’s story Evan Esparza is a living example of the difference that community college can make.

Going to college didn’t occur to Evan when he was attending Steele Canyon High School in Spring Valley and working as a custodian to earn some extra money. When Evan graduated from high school, he didn’t have the grades to be accepted at a four-year university.

He decided to give Cuyamaca College a try - and ended up transforming his life. The college was a natural choice for Evan, a Jamul resident, because his brother graduated from there, while his sister graduated from Grossmont College.

He was active in the college’s student government association and became vice president of Cuyamaca’s chapter of the Phi

“

I’m so glad there is a Higher Edge Promise to help those who otherwise might not have an opportunity to attend college. Going to college transformed my life.

“

Theta Kappa Honor Society for community college students.

Evan decided to run for student trustee at the urging of his good friend Jocelyn Estrada, who had served as Cuyamaca College’s student representative the previous year. He was elected in his freshman year as Cuyamaca College’s student trustee on the college district’s Governing Board, and was reelected his second year.

In the spotlight as trustee, Evan grew from a shy introvert uncomfortable with public speaking to a strong advocate for his fellow students with Governing Board members and state and federal legislators.

“Accessible campus resources and the sense of community paved the way for me to discover who I was,” Evan said. “The array of support eased the struggle and allowed me to focus on academics.”

“The value of Cuyamaca College was that it gave him a clearer vision and a commitment to success,” he added.

Evan began attending the University of California at Berkeley in the fall, and hopes to pursue a law career.

“I couldn’t have done it without Cuyamaca College,” he said.

About Higher Edge Promise The Higher Edge Promise is a college and career readiness program that provides successful transitions between high school and college or careers by helping students gain the skills, knowledge, and expertise needed for their future success. Students completing the Higher Edge Promise earn their first 30 units at Grossmont or Cuyamaca college for free.

The Higher Edge Promise offers Grossmont Union High School District graduates, beginning with the graduating class of 2019, a free year at Grossmont and Cuyamaca colleges. It is motivating more students to continue education and training after high school, which is essential to maintaining a vital workforce.

The Higher Edge Promise is more than just a scholarship for a free year at college. Students who seek a Higher Edge Promise Scholarship will participate in events and activities that will encourage them to attend college and prepare them for the rigor of college academics.

The Higher Edge Promise grew out of the East County Education Alliance, a partnership between the Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District and the Grossmont Union High School District. Representatives from the two districts work together to provide a more seamless transition for students from high school to college and to encourage more students to see college as part of their future.

Student stories

Carolyn Fisher Grossmont College “I was a classic re-entry student. I wondered what people would think about me being older, but it was not an issue. Everybody made clear that Grossmont College was my home and I belonged there.” She graduated with a 4.0 grade point average and earned three associate degrees. “Education is something that nobody can ever take away from you,” she said.

California Coast Credit Union: Giving Back Through Education California Coast Credit Union has had strong ties with education since it was founded by San Diego Unified School District educators in 1929. The credit union, which now serves more than 150,000 members in San Diego and Riverside counties, plays an integral role supporting Grossmont and Cuyamaca colleges and their students.“It’s always been important to us to stay true to our roots,” said Robert Scheid, manager of community and public relations for the credit union. “We have a great partnership with Grossmont and Cuyamaca colleges, and we share a commitment to education.”

The credit union sponsors four scholarships each year for Grossmont and Cuyamaca students to help ease some of the expenses of attending college. Cal Coast has also been an enthusiastic supporter of GradFest, an annual celebration for recent Grossmont and Cuyamaca College graduates, and AlumniFest, an annual event tied with a San Diego Gulls hockey game to recognize community college alumni throughout San Diego and Imperial counties. Cal Coast also holds financial literacy workshops at Grossmont and Cuyamaca colleges to teach students some of the basic skills they need in handling their personal budgets – everything from balancing a checkbook to interpreting credit scores or financing a car. The credit union also hosts the Cal Coast Financial Education Center during the week at Grossmont College so students can ask questions and get information about dealing with their finances. “We have the knowledge and expertise to help students better understand their finances,” Scheid said. “It’s our way of giving back to the community.”

The Foundation More than $150,000 in scholarships were awarded to Grossmont and Cuyamaca College students during the 2016-17 academic year by the Foundation for Grossmont & Cuyamaca Colleges, which supports students and programs at the two colleges. The scholarships came from a variety of sources, including private donors who want to honor a deceased family member or colleague; philanthropic businesses that want to assist college students with their education; or college departments that want to serve their students.

Recent graduates of Grossmont and Cuyamaca colleges and their guests were feted at GradFest, a cruise on the Hornblower yacht hosted by the foundation. All community college graduates in the region were celebrated at AlumniFest, a tailgate party and San Diego Gulls hockey game sponsored by the foundation to build alumni support.

Chancellorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Circle donors make unrestricted gifts that are used to support student programs and initiatives at the colleges.

Donors receive benefits that include passes to performing arts and athletic events, recognition at scholarship events, and an annual dinner honoring their contributions to the college district.
