Initiative 3

Action Steps

1. Build a dynamic transfer program, build community college partnerships, and promote graduation rates at the bachelor's degree levels.
2. Increase recruitment presence at community colleges within the service region, including the establishment of transfer student offices at each site.
3. Strategically market new academic programs within K-12 and community college markets.
4. Leverage trend data for high school performance post-enrollment to increase yield within local high schools through preparation training.
5. Increase presence for mentoring and college-preparation programming in local high schools.
6. Provide leadership with schools to improve K-12 education, including seeking targeted state and national initiatives for math, science, and technology, and reading, which strengthens connections with the campus.
7. Create diversity community outreach initiatives, such as reading/writing/science/math/camps in collaboration with community partners throughout our service area.
8. Enhance dual credit programs that place outstanding faculty in local high schools.
9. We will support additional intercampus collaboration, such as joint online programs, faculty affinity groups and the development of a searchable faculty collaboration database.
