Strategic Priority 3.1

• Convene a summit of elected officials and community leaders to identify unmet needs and develop collaborative responses to those needs.

– Develop as part of the 75th year celebration (Rev 5.10.02). • Givens and Ireland (2004): As ground work that may lead to a summit type-meeting, a number of community-based relationships

have been established including the following: The President and Vice President of Academic Affairs meet with the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce each month to hear the needs of the business community first-hand and to better understand the role the college can play in meeting those needs. The President and Vice-President also serve on the Health Advisory subcommittee, strengthening ties to health-care personnel in the area; A Van de Kamps advisory committee meets regularly to address concerns, make recommendations and suggest solutions that contribute to establishment of the Northwest satellite campus; the 75 th anniversary of the college is being used as a focal point to celebrate with community stakeholders, and these events serve as opportunities to reconnect with alumni and to establish new relationships with community leaders that strengthen ties and improve communication. Other areas of community involvement include numerous educational outreach locations, community partnerships, collaborations, and forums with agenda designed to better serve students and the community by improving programs and conditions such as transportation with practical solutions such as providing bus passes to students.

• Steve Madarian (2005). Major emphasis is being placed on increased outreach to community leaders including elected officials, local business, and high schools. Plans include stronger ties between campus leadership and high schools to strengthen enrollment and provide transfer programs.

January 2006 12

Recommendations Priority 3.1

• Continue ongoing outreach and partnerships with community leaders including elected officials, high schools and four-year colleges, and business and industry.

January 2006 13

Strategic Priority 3.2 • Improve and extend the use of advisory boards as a means to

revitalize academic programs, ensure currency, and facilitate resources development efforts.

• Develop a handbook and workshop that targets Voc. Ed. programs and then extends beyond them to other programs. The Title V Cooperative grant is in a position to fund the development of a handbook and a series of workshops for Voc. Ed. chairs (under the grant guidelines that target business partnerships) in the spring of 2003 (Rev 11.20.02).

• R. Galope 2005: Handbook was developed in 2003 and revised and distributed to Voc Ed Chairs in 2005.

January 2006 14

Recommendations Priority 3.2

• Provide Advisory Handbook to Department Chairs (Vocational Education and non-Vocational Education Departments) and encourage non-vocational departments to consider Advisory Committees.

• Establish and closely monitor process that will ensure certificates are submitted on time to qualified students.

January 2006 15

Strategic Priority 3.3

• Create a series of satellite campuses that bring the college’s entry-level programs and services to communities within our service areas. A Steering Committee for Van de

Kamp’s was appointed in October 2002. It was formed to advise the Site Administrator (Executive Dean). Senior Staff needs to review organizational structure and consult with Educational Planning Committee regarding a coordinated effort for curriculum development and class scheduling at satellite campuses (Rev 11.20.02).

• Des Vignes 2005: The EPC created a Satellite Campus Subcommittee that established general academic guidelines for future satellite campuses, developed a prospective academic programming plan for the Vandekamp site, and proposed recommendations regarding the discontinuance of Wilshire Center (formerly known as Koreatown Campus).

• Eastcott 2005: To handle classes that were held at the Wilshire Center during 2004-2005 and to overflow as we close portions of building for renovations, the College actively pursued leasing space within walking distance of the main campus. Efforts to secure space were unsuccessful. We closed the original site of Wilshire Center effective June 30, 2005 and opened the new site Fall 2005. The major effort is to continue planning and start construction at the Atwater District (Northeast Campus) with the renovation of the old Van de Kamp building as the central building. Major ground preparation will start in April 2005, and major construction will start in 2006; first educational programs should be in place in fall 2007.

• Arax Cohen 2006: The Satellite Subcommittee of Educational Planning Committee will conduct a viability study of the Wilshire Center in spring 2006 to determine the direction to take.

January 2006 16

Recommendations Priority 3.3• Conduct viability study and monitor success of Wilshire

Center (Committee established Jan. 25, 2006)

• Plan and promote Northeast Campus programs scheduled to begin in 2007 (Process scheduled to begin Feb. 2006)
