At
the recent Initiative Leaders meeting faculty and staff
shared news of the progress on various projects. Most notably, Math Fast Track,
the Accelerated Learning Project in Writing and the Destination Graduation and
Advising initiative have seen promising results. All three programs will be
expanded for fall term 2014 to benefit more students.
During spring term,
the college will again participate in the Community College Survey of Student
Engagement (CCSSE). Research shows that the more actively engaged students are,
the more likely they are to persist in their college studies and achieve at
higher levels. The survey will be administered between April 21 and May 2 in
randomly selected classes to ensure a representative sample and to preserve the
integrity of the survey results. Faculty members whose classes are selected for
survey administration will receive more specific instructions in early April.
Learn more and see results from our three previous surveys, visit the CCSSE
webpage.

For
those wondering about the progress to fix the courtyard clock or
the broken fountain by the Calapooia Center, facilities are currently in the
process of repairs. The fountain may take a bit longer due to the need
to replace the pump, which costs around $5,000. They are currently looking at
alternatives to replacement.
