Accomplishments by Department

 

The Academic Success Center (ASC) provides high quality academic advising to the campus community that is accurate, consistent and timely. The department contributes to student success by guiding students to develop meaningful educational plans compatible with their career and life goals. 

 

Students are encouraged to be fully engaged, responsible citizens with the knowledge, skills, and desire to improve self and community; advocate learning that encompasses lifelong exploration and discovery; counsel intellectual integrity, personal responsibility, and self-awareness; contribute to a student-centered community committed to a welcoming, caring, non-judgmental, diverse learning-focused environment; and support the mission by demonstrating excellence in the knowledge, skills and values we bring to advising.

Accomplishments for 2019-2020 include:

  • EOP advisors successfully developed and taught a First-Year Seminar course (MDIS 1040) in fall 2019 as a pilot, which is a first for the campus outside of Athletics. The College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, which has curricular oversight of MDIS, approved continuation of the course. This best practice is based on literature that maintains professional academic advising and first-year experience curriculum are effective strategies for retention (Alvarez & Towne, 2016).
    University Strategic Plan: G1:A1; G1:A5; G1:A6
     
  • The Promise Scholars coordinator developed new relationships with local high schools, county offices of education and community colleges to establish a pipeline for (former) foster youth. In the prior year, participation in the program declined, and community members were not aware the university had continued the program after the retirement of the founder. Student participants increased to 35 from 19 in one year. $9,620.00 was also raised through donations to directly benefit Promise Scholars.
    University Strategic Plan: G2:E4. Contribution to First-Gen student success efforts
     
  • The Freshman Success Program was launched to support first-time freshmen who are not already participating in EOP or SSS. 221 first-time freshmen signed up, and over 90% identify as first-generation.
     
  • Tri-Alpha first-gen honor society: Several advisors from the ASC/EOP, along with the director (serving as the co-advisor), partnered with Academic Affairs to charter the first West coast chapter. 215 eligible inductees initiated their membership. 
     
  • First-Gen Fridays was launched as a pilot co-curricular High-Impact Practice (and received campus HIPs funding). The curriculum was based on literature related to empowerment of marginalized student groups.
    University Strategic Plan:  G1: A1; G1:A6  
     
  • In service to the Stockton Campus while meeting the Warriors on the Way (WOW) grant objectives, a new position (Student Success Coordinator) was hired and onboarded. This position supported an additional partnership with Stockton Scholars and College Possible through oversight of three Success Coaches. The Success Coaches and Transfer Peer Mentors have expanded capacity to support all transfer students at the Stockton Campus and WOW transfer students, plus Stockton Scholars who are first-time freshmen.  The focus of both partnerships is to increase the region’s low educational attainment levels. For WOW, the partnership is building on the California Community Colleges Guided Pathways and equity initiatives, and the RP Group’s Six Success Factors framework. The College Possible Success Coaches program is based on a near-peer model developed for low-income students; three domains are addressed through coaching: academic success, financial, and personal.
    University Strategic Plan: G1:C7; G5:A5; G5:C4
     
  • The ASC continued to play an active part in campus conversations to improve advising. In fall 2019, the ASC coordinated an Advising Needs Assessment by Inside Track to help inform the Advising Practices Workgroup. An Advising Summit was being planned for spring 2020 (postponed due to covid). 
     
  • During the transition to remote operations in the spring, the ASC remained focused on ensuring quality access to advising services and information.
     
  • Launched the Advising Hub website, a chat feature was implemented for ASC, EOP and Stockton advising, and implementation of EAB. The ASC serviced as a central resource for academic advisors across campus, developing a Microsoft Teams, hosting meetings to share and discuss timely information impacting student advising. These efforts are to help the campus fully realize the impact of quality advising on retention and student success.

Disability Resource Services (DRS) supports student success by facilitating processes that foster student inclusion in all aspects of the collegiate experience. This is done by reducing/eliminating barriers, whether they are attitudinal, structural, programmatic or otherwise. In doing so, students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to become successful through their own efforts and not held back by artificial barriers. The department strives to create partnerships with students, faculty, staff, and other university and community offices by creating awareness and training on disability-related issues as well as providing information and referral services.

Accomplishments for 2019-2020 include:

  • Re-established a connection with Department of Rehabilitation. This enabled students with disabilities who are less than full-time status due to a disability to still have financial support with tuition and books.
    University Strategic Plan: G1:A4 
     
  • Opened communication with sister offices at Delta College and Modesto Junior College to help facilitate student transfers between institutions minimizing disruption to academic and wellbeing support. There are significant enough differences between services provided at the community college level and what’s provided at the university level, it’s important to provide students with accurate information to help aid their transition to the university environment.
    University Strategic Plan: G5:A6 
     
  • Held the first DRS New Student Orientation focusing on services provided by the department, how the department works on behalf of students, and information dissemination about on and off-campus partners.

In addition, support is provided to the Basic Needs Initiative by providing office space for two CalFresh interns.
     
  • National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week is an annual program where people come together across the country to draw attention to the problems of hunger and homelessness. Stanislaus State hosted a week of events November 18-22, 2019. The Health Education & Promotion Office participated in a number of different activities throughout the week, but we worked collaboratively with the Care Manager from the Basic Needs Initiative on the food distribution bags. For the first time, we put together a meal utilizing non-perishable foods with a recipe card so that the recipients would not only have food, but also a planned meal that could last a few days. The distribution took place at the Stockton Campus and 50 bags of food were distributed.

  • During the 2019-2020-year, Health Education and Promotion (HEP) planned to release a 5-poster series to highlight Stanislaus State students’ attitudes and behaviors highlighted in the spring 2018 American College Health Association’s – National College Health Assessment II (ACHA-NCHA II). Due to COVID-19, we were only able to release three (3) of the five (5) planned posters. A total of thirty-eight (38) participants from thirty-three (33) different campus departments voluntarily joined the 2019-2020 campaign. Depending on the edition, anywhere from sixty-one (61) to sixty-six (66) posters were spread throughout fifteen (15) different campus buildings, including the satellite Stockton Campus. Because of the nature of passive programming, the program was ceased due to COVID-19 and California’s Shelter-In-Place orders.

Title IX:

All Stanislaus State students are required by Executive Order 1095 to complete Title IX training each academic year. Our campus has selected an online training program, Not Anymore, to meet the requirement. All new students will complete the Not Anymore program. Not Anymore covers crucial topics like consent, healthy and unhealthy relationships and what to do if violence occurs. It also includes how to identify potentially dangerous situations and how to intervene and put a stop to them. Not Anymore training gives students the knowledge and power to make our campus safer. Returning or continuing students complete a shorter “refresher” course each academic year after their initial training with the Not Anymore program. Each student receives a total of four emails. If they fail to complete the training, registration holds are placed on their account and they receive three additional emails prompting them to complete the training. All students enrolled or eligible to enroll are reflected in the 13,711 number. The vendor does not “back out” those students who do not register for each semester. Therefore, the completion rate percentages are actually higher because not all 13,711 did register.

From mid-March to the end of April, 505 residents moved out and over $800,000 in refunds were issued due to COVID-19.   In addition all 150 students remained on-campus.  Academic, programming and operational services continued and were adapted to a virtual, low face-to face contact for the remaining residents who lived on campus. 

  • Improved cross collaboration and communication in facilities, operations and residential life teams to improve support to our residents.
    University Strategic Plan: G2:E3, G3:E4
    .
  • Housing and Residential Life is comprised of the facilities, operations and residential life functional groups.  Though all groups share a common mission and vision, there is a tendency to work primarily within one’s own functional group, especially, since each functional team works in a different location or locations.
     
  • Though we had many challenges this year, with most issues relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, we found opportunities to collaborate and strengthen relationships through the following:
    • Developed an Application Committee, comprised of members of the operations and residential life teams.  This committee helped us migrate our legacy online application for Housing residents to a new platform.  This collaboration helped us produce an application that was better structured and tailored to our applicants.
       
  • In response to the Residence Halls Repopulation Fall 2020 group, developed Housing workgroups comprised of members from each functional team to review policies and procedures and research and adapt them to comply with county, state and federal guidelines in a COVID-19 environment.  These workgroups were so successful, we are looking to keep some iteration of them going forward. Communication throughout the entire Housing team improved as a result of these workgroups.  

Stengthened Campus Relationships.
University Strategic Plan: G1:B3, G1:A6.

  • Collaborated with Capital Planning & Facilities Management, Institutional Effectiveness & Analytics, Vice President for Student Affairs Office and Admissions and Outreach Services on an Affordable Student Housing Plan.
  • Worked with Promise Scholars Program Coordinator to identify opportunities to remove barriers and make on-campus Housing more affordable.
  • Collaborated with Ethnic Studies to implement the Social Justice Living Learning Community (LLC).
  • Maintained collaborative relationship with the Honors Program; reviewing Honors Program and LLC Data, adapted Honors LLC structure to an expanded Warrior Scholars community to assist in LLC and Honors program recruitment and participation - changes to be fully implemented post COVID-19.
  •  Associate Director of Residential Life served as search committee chair for a Disability Resource Services search from November 2019 –March 2020.
  • Associate Director of Residential Life served as search committee member for a Psychological Counseling & Services search from November 2018 –December 2019.  
  • Co-planned campus’ initial First-Generation Student Success Celebration in November 2019.

Develop assessment plan that includes the following considerations:

  • Involvement of entire team in plan
  • Review and evaluation of how we measure success in our programs
  • Identify what we are choosing to measure and why
  • Prior year assessments were compiled to assist with this process and included:  the Resident Satisfaction Survey, CAS (Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education) Assessment, and Support Unit Review.  After compiling these assessments, the department planned to synthesize them into a summary, to be used to help inform discussions with the Housing team members on what areas need to be addressed or improved.  Once these were identified, the next step will be to map out our entire program and work with the Housing team to determine what will be assessed and why.  These steps will all be included in 2020-21 priorities, since work on the assessment plan was set aside to address issues relating to COVID-19 and plan for Fall 2020. 

Improved the resident experience through improved organizational structure and communication throughout Housing Operations, facilities, and residential life.
University Strategic Plan: G1:A4 and GI 2025:  Administrative barriers.  

  • Created recurring work orders in StarRez to schedule & track preventative maintenance (air filter replacement, air duct cleaning)
  • Reviewed procedures relating to the online Housing application and after research and confirmation of compliance with Title 5, eliminated the requirement for a completed financial guarantor form for anyone from 18-24 years old.  This removed a barrier for students who may not have access to an adult who will agree to accept financial responsibility for the student.  Implemented Portal X for the online Housing application Integrate Office 365 with RAs and PALs:  teams, share point, forms, etc.
  • Integrated Office 365 with RAs and PALs:  teams, share point and throughout operations.

Develop a residential curriculum
University Strategic Plan: G1:A6 and GI 2025: Academic Preparation.

  • This year we continued the planning process to develop a curricular approach to residential learning and community building by facilitating a residential life retreat and ongoing training to foster curricular approaches to residential life strategies.  This retreat led to the implementation of learning outcomes and activities relating to the roommate agreement process.  We will continue progress toward this plan in the 2020-21 academic year. 

 

The Learning Commons provides an open environment of learning for all students. Through the center students are able to access free one-on-one and group tutoring in all disciplines and at all levels of proficiency.  Students are encouraged to dialogue and interact in order to share techniques for academic success.

Accomplishments for 2019-2020 include:

  • Purchase and implementation of the new scheduling and payroll software, StanTutor.   The implementation of StanTutor will improve tutor scheduling process providing a quicker response to scheduling students with a tutor.  StanTutor has the ability to track student data understanding student use in both Tutoring and Supplemental Instruction, both High Impact Practices. StanTutor implementation has allowed for improving efficiency of payroll, reports, and allows for improved sustainability through reducing paper and waste.
    University Strategic Plan:  G2:B2; G3:C3; G4:A3; G4:A5; G4:D5; GI 2025 Academic Preparation, Student Engagement and Wellbeing
     
  • Increased our campus outreach and bring awareness to the Learning Commons.  This was achieved through campus tabling events, building a social media presence, and updating our website regularly to reflect the changes in the programs.
    University Strategic Plan: G3:D3; GI 2025 Student Engagement and Wellbeing, Academic Preparation
     
  • Expanded all services to online in Spring semester. Moving all the support services online provided the opportunity for services to be available to Stockton Students.
    University Strategic Plan: G1:A2; G5:A1; GI 2025 Academic Preparation, Student Engagement and Wellbeing, Administrative Barriers
     
  • Implementation of professional development and training programs for the Instructional Student Assistants.

Student Leadership and Development (SLD) is committed to cultivating community and fostering engagement through co-curricular learning.  Our core purpose is to orient students to the university; serve as a home base for Student Organizations and Greek Life; provide leadership development opportunities; and promote student engagement and student growth.  We know that encouraging student involvement, helping students build lifelong relationships, and developing leadership skills – are the keys to student success! 

Accomplishments for 2019-2020 included:

  • Developed and launched an on-line pre-orientation program for all First Year and Transfer students.  Project scope included preparation of a program outline, writing content and video scripts, meeting with campus departments, facilitating video shoots, editing, and hiring audio description specialists to ensure the program was accessible. 92% of all incoming students completed the program. 
    University Strategic Plan: G1: A4, G1: C7, G1:E3 and G2:E1; GI 2025: Academic Preparation and Achievement, Student Engagement and Wellbeing, and Financial Support
      
  • Transitioned the student engagement on-line platform from Org Sync “StanSync” to Engage “Warrior Hub”.  This entailed designing a new platform, developing the branches and function of each, working with Campus Labs and OIT to input student data, marketing “Warrior Hub” to the campus community, and training students, faculty, and staff on the new platform.

    University Strategic Plan: G5:A5 & G5:A6; GI 2025: Student Engagement and Well Being, Financial Support, and Data-Informed Decision Making 
      
  • Due to COVID-19, we transitioned Student Leadership and Development to remote operations mid-March and created a virtual office for New Student Orientation with an on-line Chat/video feature. This entailed working with Student Organizations to cancel in-person events and providing support/guidance to student organizations; creating a monthly Warrior Nation Newsletter (beginning in March) full of virtual programming on relevant topics, many free resources to support on-line organization interactions, and celebration of graduating students and Recognized Student Organizations (RSO) accomplishments; and meeting with CSU, UC, and CCC campus colleagues to discuss best practices, share resources, and partner together to provide services for all of our students.
    University Strategic Plan: G1:A4, G1:E3, G3:C3, G3:F1; GI 2025: Student Engagement and Well Being and Administrative Barriers
     
  • Moved all Summer 2020 New Student Orientations to a virtual on-line format for 2800 incoming students (1300 First Year/Freshmen and 1500 Transfer students) over nine orientation sessions.  This involved redesigning new orientation program for First Year/Freshmen and Transfers; expanded the pre-orientation Titus Link on-line program to include key campus resources presentations; researching and testing different orientation platforms (i.e. Educause, Zoom, MODO App, Whova, etc.); implementing four virtual two-day First Year/Freshmen orientations through Zoom, five virtual Transfer orientations thorough Whova Conference platform, and three virtual Campus Showcases through Whova Exhibitor platform.  First year/Freshmen (1046) rated their Overall satisfaction as Excellent (44.46%), Very Good (30.31%), Good (18.74%), Fair (5.45), Poor (0.67%), and Very Poor (0.38%).

TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) provides intentional programming, which motivates and supports students in successful completion of higher education through academic development and understanding of college requirements. SSS empowers first-generation and low-income students as well as students with disabilities to embrace who they are and take ownership of their college experience.  

Accomplishments for 2019-2020 include:

  • Submitted grant proposal to continue program funding from 2020-2025 (award status is pending). The 2020 TRIO SSS proposal builds on momentum from prior successes to address gaps in student attainment by low-income, first-generation and disabled students as well as underrepresented minorities. The project contributes to increased social, emotional, and intellectual growth of students, which fosters the self-efficacy, resilience, and persistence critical to attainment of educational and professional goals. The project leverages student-centered, data-driven programming to facilitate engagement during early years on campus along with critically timed academic support throughout the college experience. Student services and resources use a holistic, responsive approach to mitigate the diverse and unique barriers experienced by undergraduates from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds.  
  • Program design is rooted in research based best practices for student success, which correlate to increase retention, persistence, and degree completion for underrepresented students. The continued need for the project, identified objectives, and operational plan use a data-driven approach which considers student demographics, equity and achievement gaps, and campus infrastructure. In addition to project objectives, the project includes a logic model and evaluation plan with added qualitative and quantitative metrics to facilitate responsive programming and high-quality services.
    University Strategic Plan: G1:A1, A2, A4, A5, A6, B3, B4, B6, B10, E3; G2:B2; G3:C3; GI 2025 Pillar: Academic Preparation, Data-Informed Decision Making, Financial Support, Student Engagement & Well Being
     
  • Co-sponsored #CelebrateFirstGen events with various departments in Student Affairs to host three days of programming for first-gen students at the Turlock and Stockton Campus. Each campus had a quad tabling event with photo booth and the opportunity to share their story. The final day of programming was a first-gen student, staff, and faculty networking brunch. The brunch was hosted in FDC and included 47 student and 21 faculty and staff. Stories sharing and networking the offered an opportunity for students to connect with other students, faculty, and staff from first generation backgrounds to increase sense of belonging and connection to the campus. Research show that sense of belonging influences factors related to academic performance as well as attitudes and satisfaction creating and intrinsic connection to retention, persistence, and graduation.
    University Strategic Plan: G1: B3, B4; GI 2025 Pillar: Student Engagement & Well Being
     
  • SSS transition to remote operations in light COVID-19. The inherent design of the awarded grant proposal outlining TRIO SSS programming and services leverages in-person interactions and touch points to engage students, build relationships, and foster connections critical to supporting students’ individual needs. Research support the added benefit to underrepresented students that come for personalized interactions. COVID required us to completely shift the ways in which we interacted with our students and to support or students through the added challenges of accessing their education as well as campus services. All professional staff immediately transitioned to remote environments with zero downtime for students. The department also maintained clear communication with students leading up to and through the remote operations transition; minimizing stress and anxiety. Student personnel also made the remote transition after professional staff. The program was able to maintain all critical services required by the grant and stay on track with delivery of services including advising, writing/tutoring support, peer mentoring, workshops, and program outreach and intake. Peer Mentoring was also extended into summer.
