海角社区

Aligning Learning and Academic Success

Project ALAS was a partnership among 海角社区 Channel Islands, Oxnard College, Ventura College and Santa Barbara City College. ALAS constituted an expansion of 海角社区CI鈥檚 ongoing efforts to build a regional approach to providing meaningful access to higher education for an underserved Latinx population. The project鈥檚 initiatives focused on 鈥減ipeline鈥 initiatives: access, retention and transfer using high impact practices (HIP). This regional network focused on improving the transfer process from 2-year to 4-year institutions. This network initiated an annual Transfer Success Summit and cross-institutional faculty fellows program. Areas of focus included aligning high impact teaching and learning practices, policies and systems to 鈥渙ne degree.鈥

ALAS partners involved several activities: the long-lasting relationships across campuses; writing equity conference, groups of cross-discipline faculty from partner institutions working together to improve student success and student transfer and the growing attention paid to counseling and advising. These strategies and others helped to build a framework for partners to focus on transfer success.
