by distinguished and award-winning faculty, who also conduct research and publish. And our dedicated staff never waver in their commitment to enhancing student success.

All of this hard work, progressive thinking, and dynamic innovation continue to attract national attention. Kingsborough has once again been identified as one of the top 50 community colleges in the nation by the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program, allowing us to compete for a top prize of one million dollars. We have also been named a Leader College by the national nonprofit Achieving the Dream. Some of the most exciting conversations on campus are about our relaunch of this initiative with a critical new focus on equity.

A LE T T E R FRO M T H E PR E S I D E NT

Dear Friends of Kingsborough:

I am very proud to share our 2016-2017 Annual Report with you. Many of the initiatives described in these pages were launched under the leadership of President Farley Herzek, who retired in August 2017. Like so many of our students, President Herzek grew up in Brooklyn and was the first in his family to graduate from college. We are grateful for his years of service and inspiration.

It is a privilege for me to take the helm as Kingsborough’s interim president. Although this is a new role, I have been on campus for 30 years, helping students adjust to college life and achieve their dreams, as director of Freshmen Services and, most recently, as vice president of Student Affairs.

It is amazing to think that over a million students have taken classes here since we opened our doors in 1963. Our alumni enjoy rewarding careers in education, healthcare, engineering, law enforcement, science, technology, arts and entertainment – locally and around the globe. Our courses are taught

As we take pride in our achievements, we also honor the generosity of the many individuals and institutions who have invested in the future of our students. Last year more than 1,500 students received scholarships totaling over $798,000.

Students who considered dropping out due to sudden crises at home were able to stay in school, thanks to student emergency grants underwritten by the Carroll and Milton Petrie Foundation. Other students struggling with chronic personal, financial or legal hardships were able to stay on track to graduate thanks to programs like Single Stop and SPARK, both funded by the Heckscher Foundation.

Our work doesn’t begin and end on campus. As the only community college in Brooklyn, we want to make a difference in the neighborhoods where so many of our students were born and where many now work and raise families. We’re taking our focus on equity off campus— to high schools, libraries, and health and human services organizations just to start – to engage our community in collaboration, conversation, and innovation that can make our borough an even better place to live, work, and learn.

I thank you for your continued support and invite you to join us in our new educational endeavor.

Through higher education, we can build a better Brooklyn.

Peter M. Cohen Interim President

Achieving The Dream:

A New Focus on Equity in Opportunities and Outcomes

K

ingsborough boasts one of the highest graduation rates in CUNY, and yet there are still too many students who never achieve their dream of a college degree.

KCC faculty and staff are striving to find innovative ways to close this achievement gap.

“We’ve learned that providing equal access to information and programs and resources just isn’t enough,” says Christian Calienes, associate director of Institutional Research and Academic Assessment, noting this is especially true for students who have been deprived of opportunities.

These students often struggle academically.

They may live in poverty or live with disabilities. They may be students of color, first-generation students, or children of undocumented immigrants. “They have the greatest distance to travel and the biggest barriers to overcome,” says Stephanie

Akunvabey, director of Academic Affairs and co-director of the college’s Achieving the Dream (ATD) initiative.

ATD is a national movement championing evidence-based improvements at community colleges that help more students succeed.

Kingsborough is an ATD Leader College -- the only community college in New York State to earn that distinction. Kingsborough relaunched its ATD initiative in spring 2017 with a new focus on overcoming opportunity gaps by identifying barriers to success and customizing campus support to provide the key resources each student needs.

Those barriers to success are nearly always outside the student’s control; they include race, socioeconomic status, English proficiency, and family or community wealth. “But if we can get them the kind of help and motivation and information they need, we know they can succeed.” Ms. Akunvabey says. “Our students prove that to us every day.”

The new focus on equity is spurring change across campus, Ms. Akunvabey says: “It’s changing the way we think. It’s changing the way we act and teach and learn from each other.” Subcommittees have been researching, discussing, and implementing new strategies to promote more equitable outcomes.

Peter Santiago, equity liaison for the ATD Student Success subcommittee, says equity discussions are already having a major impact on campus: “We’re setting aside time to be in conversation with each other about equity – not just the work we do, but how we do it. How often does that kind of dialogue happen? It’s extremely rewarding.”

“Equity requires us to look beyond the statistics,” adds Mr. Calienes. “Numbers tell us what is going on, but they don’t explain why. Equity work asks us to dig deeper, be more reflective, and make changes that are cultural, not just metric-based.”

One strategy is culturally responsive teaching (CRT), says Janine Graziano, director of the Center for Teaching & Learning. “CRT asks us to think about who our students are, what they bring to the table, and how we can integrate that information into what we do in the classroom,” explains Prof. Graziano.

To do that, you have to know who your students are – their culture, backgrounds and experiences – without making assumptions or stereotyping. And to do that, you have to know who you are. “You have to recognize your own biases,” Prof. Graziano explains. “That is not easy. In fact, it’s the hardest work anyone can do. But it’s incredibly important.”

Mary O’Shea, director of the Student Success Center, sees a meaningful shift toward equity in her department in the more holistic attention advisors are giving to students, “from tracking their academic progress to mindfulness of their overall well-being,” she explains. “We want all of our students to receive personal attention – to feel they belong to the Kingsborough community.

We’re not just advising, we’re encouraging.

We’re their cheerleaders, right from the very start.”

A Day in the Life of an Advisor A

bright-eyed high school graduate marches into Kingsborough’s Student Success Center to announce that her lifelong dream is to be an astronomer and study the stars.

“She’s already on her career path and highly motivated,” notes Mary O’Shea, the center’s director. “We make sure she takes 15 credits each semester so she graduates on time, and that she takes the classes she needs to transfer to a four-year college.”

Ms. O’Shea is imagining for us a typical day in the life of an advisor, based on her decade of experience working with Kingsborough’s diverse community of students.

A student worries about several classes she missed. “You discover the real problem is that this student is on the brink of homelessness,” Ms. O’Shea says. “You start pulling together every

resource on campus to make sure that student can stay in school.”

The next student had a bad day or failed a big test and he’s convinced he isn’t ready for college. “It’s my job to explain that everyone on campus has had that bad day, that bad class, that bad test,” Ms. O’Shea says. “I help him identify new strategies.”

A daughter of undocumented immigrants worries about her status and her parents. An international student wonders if his student visa is in danger. A former drop-out wants to make a fresh start. “I find it so humbling to work with our students,” Ms. O’Shea says. “They inspire me every day.”

President’s Faculty Innovation Awards | 2016-2017 The President’s Innovation Award encourages projects that make use of innovative pedagogies and/or instructional technology in the classroom and for development of hybrid and/or online courses; research projects that involve faculty and students in a mentoring relationship; interdisciplinary collaaborations; or projects that integrate civic engagement curriculum and/or activities into existing and/or new courses.

15 To Finish

Campaign Encourages Students to Graduate on Time

G

raduate on time and you’ll save on tuition, reduce debt, and earn money sooner. That’s the central theme of “15 to Finish,” a new awareness campaign funded in part by a grant from CUNY’s Academic Momentum Project, encouraging students to take 15 credits each semester so they can graduate in two years.

Most full-time students at Kingsborough – and across the nation – opt to take only the minimum 12 credits needed to be eligible for federal financial aid. This turns a 2-year degree program into a 3- or 4-year plan, greatly increasing their risk of running out of aid and racking up unnecessary debt.

By launching its “15 to Finish” campaign, Kingsborough has joined a national movement of over 200 institutions in 25 states that are working to graduate more students on time. Currently, just 13% of Kingsborough students cross the finish line in two years. The goal of “15 to Finish” is to increase that number to 15% within 2 years.

Put simply, finishing on time makes college cheaper. “That’s the biggest takeaway of our campaign,” noted Stephanie Akunvabey, director of Academic Affairs. By taking 15 credits, students avoid the extra costs of extra semesters. They maximize the value of their financial aid, because fulltime tuition is the same, whether you take 12 credits or 15. And as an extra incentive, students who complete 30 credits each year may qualify for the new Excelsior Scholarship and earn

their CUNY or SUNY degrees tuition-free.

Fifteen credits can still seem daunting, especially for students who have jobs and families. Kingsborough’s unique calendar allows students to split the 15 credits between a 12-week session and a 6-week module.

The benefits to graduating on time go beyond finances: Statistics show that students who take 15 credits have higher GPAs and are more likely to graduate. “The longer your studies take, the more likely it is that some crisis is going to derail your plans and keep you from earning your degree,” Ms. Akunvabey said.

“Plus, the faster you finish your degree, the sooner you can enter the workforce and start earning a salary,” Ms. Akunvabey added. “It just makes sense.”

SPARKing Student Confidence, One Day at a Time

D

iana’s first day of college was a total disaster.

“I was so scared,” says the freshman from Flatbush, who came to Kingsborough from an all-girls high school. “Everything was new, everything was different, every class was hard. . .When I got home, I was crying. I remember saying, ‘Why did I ever think I could do this? I’m never going back!’”

But things quickly changed for Diana thanks to SPARK – Strategic Partnerships for Achievement and Retention at Kingsborough, which launched in fall 2016 with support

8 KINGSBOROUGH COMMUNITY COLLEGE | ANNUAL REPORT 2017

from a three-year grant from the Heckscher Foundation for Children.

“SPARK gave me support, it gave me information, and it also gave me a community that believed in me,” Diana said.

SPARK aims to help close the education and employment gap for incoming freshmen enrolled in developmental math and English courses, based on CUNY placement exams. SPARK provides them with a range of financial, academic and personal support while they take the developmental English and math classes they must pass in order to complete their degrees.

“In the past, math was often the biggest stumbling block for students. Some took developmental math four semesters in a row and still couldn’t test into college-level courses,” says Alyssa Arnold, program coordinator. SPARK has created a stronger support network for at-risk students taking developmental math and English so they can finish these courses faster.

SPARK provides customized assistance and case management to get incoming freshmen on track. “Tangible benefits are important, like textbooks and MetroCards, but the intangible benefits are the key to SPARK’s success,” Ms. Arnold says. “It’s having a case manager to talk to, to help you solve problems. SPARK case managers see the student as a whole person. They step outside of the box to make sure students get what they need to succeed. Sometimes it’s tutoring. But sometimes it’s food stamps, housing, or a

job. Sometimes students just need confidence. And we’re helping them build it.”

Preliminary data show the first class of 150 SPARK students achieved higher GPAs, pass rates, and accumulated credits than their non-SPARK peers.

Retention rates among SPARK students are also higher than among other freshman populations. “Our results are actually exceeding the goals we set in our initial grant proposal,” notes Ms. Arnold. “That’s a very positive sign.”

Diana sailed through her developmental classes. Now she’s an honor society member set to graduate in spring 2018. She says she looks forward to pursuing her bachelor’s degree in music therapy or education because “SPARK helped me prove to myself that I can be successful at college. I’m not scared anymore!”

Single Stop:

A world of help in just 10 minutes Students shouldn’t have to choose between going to college and putting food on the table. Single Stop helped thousands of Kingsborough students stay in school this year. In a single 10-minute screening at the Single Stop office, students discover if they are eligible for over 40 government programs providing assistance with food, housing, child care and other worries.

Single Stop also points students to on-campus and local resources like food pantries and clothing banks, and provides free financial counseling and legal services.

Piloted at Kingsborough with support from the Heckscher Foundation, Single Stop is now at all CUNY community colleges and several of the nation’s largest community college systems.

All in a Night’s Work: Kingsborough’s Pioneering “Sleep Tech” Program

M

ost college students pull an all-nighter at least once, to finish a paper or cram for an exam.

But students in Kingsborough’s groundbreaking Polysomnographic Technology Program stay up all night on a regular basis – to see how other people sleep.

If you have chronic trouble sleeping, a doctor might refer you to a clinical sleep lab for a sleep study. When you report to the lab around 8 pm, a sleep technologist will greet you and prepare you for your overnight stay.

This program is one of just four in the state — and the only one in New York City — that trains students to use state-of-the-art technology to diagnose and treat sleep disorders ranging from chronic insomnia to potentially lifethreatening sleep apnea.

The sleep tech explains what procedures will be done, and what sensors and electrodes will be attached to your body – for example, to your scalp to measure brain waves, or near your eyes, to measure eye movement. Other sensors may measure your muscle activity and

“The sleep tech helps you know what to expect,” says Prof. Santaro Ashizawa. “That’s important, because people can be anxious if they don’t know what happens in a sleep lab.”

10 KINGSBOROUGH COMMUNITY COLLEGE | ANNUAL REPORT 2017

respiration. “Overall, about 20 channels can be simultaneously recording for eight hours, and the sleep tech monitors all of them,” Ashizawa notes.

“As a sleep tech, you work in a fascinating environment, you learn how to read brain waves, and you help people in ways that can be life changing,” says Dr. Matthew R. Ebben, program director. “You don’t get that instant gratification in many fields of health care.”

Dr. Ebben, a clinical psychologist and boardcertified sleep specialist, had long wanted to create a sleep tech program, but wasn’t sure how, or where, or if it would be successful.

When New York State passed laws in 2014 requiring sleep techs to be licensed, he knew the time had come. He sent proposals to CUNY colleges and Kingsborough swiftly responded.

The program is one of only four license-eligible polysomnographic programs in New York State.

New York City has one of the nation’s largest networks of sleep labs. Because of state licensing requirements, techs from other states often don’t qualify for jobs here. And labs are busy, thanks to greater awareness about the importance of sleep to our work performance, health, and happiness. As a result, Kingsborough’s sleep techs are in demand.

“Every graduate who wanted a job, got one,” Dr. Ebben said.

The sleep tech program attracts more mature students, in part because during their second year they are required to train during two 12-hour shifts each week in a clinical sleep lab. “Staying up all night to observe and treat patients is not the right job for everyone,” Dr. Ebben noted. “But when you help someone get the first good night’s sleep they’ve had in 20 or 30 years, and they tell you it changed their lives – now that’s a great feeling.”

When A Helping Hand Makes All The Difference: The Carroll and Milton Petrie Foundation Student Emergency Grant Fund

I

n 2016, the Carroll and Milton Petrie Foundation pledged $300,000 over three years to create a special grant fund providing critical support to Kingsborough Community College students who face major crises that threaten their ability to stay in school. Examples of student emergencies include disasters, such as fire or f lood; theft of computers or textbooks; major medical expenses; loss of child care; and eviction or homelessness.

Kingsborough’s relationship with the Petrie Foundation began in 2012, in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

Students who lived in neighborhoods devastated by the storm feared they would have to drop out of school after losing their homes, jobs, and possessions. Then-president Regina Peruggi requested emergency funds and the foundation’s leaders responded generously. They went on to support other campus initiatives in student retention, math instruction, and health career pathways.

In its first year, the new emergency fund provided grants to 29 students including Vicky, 32, a mother of three from Rockaway. Vicky enrolled at KCC with dreams becoming a nurse, but it proved difficult to stay in school while caring for three young children. Then, in 2012, her family lost everything when their home was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.

“But my biggest problem all along was that I was in a domestic abuse situation,” Vicky says. “I was scared for me and I was scared for my kids. I knew that I couldn’t live like that anymore. I needed help. I needed to change my life.

That’s why I was determined to finally get into nursing school.”

12 KINGSBOROUGH COMMUNITY COLLEGE | ANNUAL REPORT 2017

She completed course requirements at night school, earning straight A’s. In 2016, she was accepted into Kingsborough’s nursing program. The news came just in time, she says, because her situation at home was now desperate. “I told my kids: We’re leaving. And we ran,” she recalls. “I walked out of an abusive relationship with nothing. My son had a backpack. I had a backpack. That’s it. I had no home, no income, no credit. I didn’t even have a dollar in my purse. I had nothing.”

With nowhere to go and three little children in tow, Vicky found herself at the nursing program office at Kingsborough, tearfully explaining her situation.

“Everybody started working on solutions,” says Vicky, “but it was the Petrie emergency grant that really saved me.”

“It’s our mission to help underprivileged students at CUNY colleges get the support that they need to persevere and succeed,” noted Beth Lief, executive director of the Carroll and Milton Petrie Foundation. “Vicky is the kind of student that our Emergency Grant Funds are there to help, and we feel good about being able to do so.”

“In past years, Kingsborough couldn’t help students like Vicky,” says Daniel La Noue, director of major gifts and Beth Lief, Executive Director, The Carroll and Milton Petrie Foundation planned giving. “We could provide support for books, transportation, and tuition.

But we didn’t have a way to help students overcome catastrophic emergencies in order to stay in school.”

Things are looking up for Vicky. She and her children live in a safe space. On track to finish her degree in 2018, she plans to continue her studies so she can become a registered nurse.

“My new life is starting now, thanks to the Petrie Foundation,” Vicky says. “Without the grant, I would have dropped out of school. Now my life is really turning around. Going to class, taking care of my kids, living a happy life — what everyone else takes for granted is special to me. And I’m grateful.”

NOTE: Vicky is an actual student. Her name and personal information have been changed to protect her family.

“When my grandmother passed, it dawned on me how much she and my grandfather sacrificed to immigrate to the United States, and I wanted to do something to create a lasting honor to their sacrifices. If life has been good to you, I believe you have an obligation to send the elevator back down to others who need help. We all didn’t make it on our own. We stood on the shoulders of others — and what better way to thank them but by allowing others to stand on ours.”
