Updates on Program Review & Accreditation GWC Quick Facts and Scorecard

iSLO Graduate Survey results

Dear GWC colleagues, Welcome to a new academic year! It is hard to believe that this is our 9th issue of Rustlers Research Newsletter. Over the last five years, our office has been working on different ways to deliver research information to the campus at large, from research briefs, to fact books, to data posters and now our data dashboards. Along the way, we learned from our GWC colleagues that words matter just as much as numbers; our interpretation and assessment of the data, must go beyond what is displayed by charts and tables.

As you look at the 2018 Scorecard and College Quick Facts, I want to highlight a few of Golden West College’s achievements to complement the data.

With a degree/transfer rate of 56%, we are ranked 17 out of114 California community colleges.

With a CTE completion rate of 64%, we are ranked 8 out of 114 California community colleges in Career Technical Education completion.

Our current persistence rate is 84%, which is 10% higher thanour persistence rate five years ago. Additionally, we are ranked6 out of 114 California community colleges in persistence.

We transferred over 1,150 students to CSU, UC and other fouryear institutions in 2016-17. A majority of our studentstransfer to the CSUs, and most of them stay local and attendeither CSU Fullerton or CSU Long Beach. In fact, CSU Fullertonand CSU Long Beach, make up 84% of GWC’s total CSUtransfers.

These numbers demonstrate that many of the college’s initiatives to increase student success and engagement are working.

We have a jam-packed newsletter for you. In addition to the Scorecard and College Quick Facts, we will highlight our GWC graduates survey results and provide you with information about the upcoming accreditation visit, as well as the upcoming program review cycle.

With warm wishes,

Kay V. Nguyen

Dean of Institutional Effectiveness

UPDATES

Program Review It seems like it was only yesterday that our office was sending out reminders to departments that program review reports were due; however, that was almost three years ago and we will start a new program review cycle starting this spring. To give each department a head start, we will provide data packets in the fall instead of the first month of spring semester. We hope this will give instructional and student services programs time to review the data and plan for a successful program review in the spring. For administrative programs, we invite you to come visit our office and chat with us about how we can best support you during program review. We will have coffee ready for you!

Accreditation Not to sound like Paul Revere, but... Accreditation is coming! Our next comprehensive accreditation visit will be from February 25 through February 28, 2019. We have submitted our second draft to the Board of Trustees for review, and we plan to submit the final draft for approval in November. In the meantime, I invite you to review our current draft and provide us with feedback and thoughts. The report is published on our SharePoint portal, and can be accessed via this link here: Accreditation Report. Throughout the fall semester, we will be discussing the accreditation report in Planning and Budget meetings. I invite all of you attend and join the discussions.

Did You Know?

GWC receives $5,151 per resident full-timeequivalent student (FTES) from the state. If each instructor helps get just 1 additional student into each of their courses over the next year, GWC will see an increase of over 200 FTES for the year – this would mean over $1 million in funding to help the college achieve its mission!
