Building an equity-minded pathway for transfer students
2017
Overview
By disaggregating our campus data, the campus planning team developed the following action plan goals: * Implement equity-minded practices with the goal of closing student success gaps of African American transfer students * Develop and offer quality highimpact practices in the junior year of study * Create and assess signature assignments that focus on the junior seminar s social responsibility learning outcome * Increase internship opportunities and workforce preparation for rising juniors converging from general education coursework, our dual degree program, and transfer students from community colleges Given our designation as a completion college (Johnson and Bell 2014) and emphasis on social justice, the campus planning team focused our project on the dual emphasis of faculty development for teaching diverse populations and providing academic support to students in their junior year of college. [...]in our second year, we developed equity score cards for each junior seminar course and presented them to an audience of all college deans and department chairs. CONCLUSION Overall, the campus planning team has worked to incorporate the lessons we learned into our project by (l) refining and refocusing goals for the excellence in equity project, (2) scaling our work beyond the classroom, and (3) integrating the excellence in equity project with other connected initiatives. Since social justice and student success are both key institutional values, the campus planning team is connecting equity efforts more intentionally with our student success initiative (funded by a Title III federal grant) and our Male Success Initiative (funded by the Kresge Foundation).
