August Update

August 1, 2023  |  Priority 2

The Strategic Planning chairs had a busy June & July, presenting to the district board, presenting to internal CVTC staff, and presenting at the College Compass update. The strategic plan is set and the implementation phase has already begun.  For the Student Success Team, one of the first items that will be introduced is Guided Pathways.  At the fall faculty in-service there will be more information on the work that is already being done around the college, work that needs to continue, and areas we can improve our guided pathways mission.  As we near the fall semester our advisors will begin using Degree Works, which will also help track student success and is a crucial part of our plan.

As we begin August it is a time to reflect upon what we are doing to help our students and what we can improve upon for this semester.  We look forward to seeing everyone back in the classrooms doing what they do best!

June Update

June 1, 2023  |  Priority 2

The Student Success Strategy Team has had a busy month updating and aligning the strategy to existing college initiatives as well as condensing and combining objectives for a clear understanding of the plan.  Earlier in May, the plan was presented to the President’s Cabinet for review, and as a result of that meeting, subgroups were formed to continue the focused work of updating and aligning the plan.  Key Performance Indicators were assigned to the Student Success Strategy.  All objectives and tactics will relate back to at least one of these three KPIs.

KPIs for Student Success:

  • Graduation Rate
  • Transfer Rate
  • Graduate Placement

Over the course of the month, the Student Success strategy saw minor changes in the language used and condensed objectives down to ensure alignment with the KPIs.  Later in May, the team met to ensure consistency with the new language used, and final preparations were made for a presentation to be given to the CVTC District Board members at the end of June.

May Update
