I HAD A PERSONAL MATTER TO ATTEND WITH.
WE'LL GO AHEAD AND BEGIN OUR WORKSHOPS FOR TODAY.
CHANCELLOR MAY? I BELIEVE YOU ARE MUTED.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH CHAIR BRAVO.
I WANT TO SAY AS WE BEGIN THE WORK SESSION NEXT FEW DAYS, IT IS REALLY ABOUT SETTING THE DOING A LEVEL SET AS WE LOOK AT AND KIND OF LAY OUT THE EXPECTATIONS THAT WE HAVE AROUND THE ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE FOR OU STUDENTS, HOW WE ARE GOING TO BE REALLY FOCUSSING ON STUDENT SUCCESS, THE TYPE OF ENGAGEMENT WE WANT TO BE HAVING IN OUR COMMUNITY, ALSO TOUCH ON SOME WHAT WITH OUR FACILITY'S NEEDS.
ALL TO PROVIDE CONTEXT AS WE DEVELOP THE BUDGET FOR OUR UPCOMING FULL YEAR.
I AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE SITE COC LAST WEEK GRANTED US FULL AUTHORITY AS DALLAS COLLEGE.
DANIELLE VALLE WILL COMMENT ON THAT LATER TODAY IN HER PRESENTATION I WANT TO SAY THIS IS BEYOND SPECULATION.
IT IS BOTH PRESENT AND REALITY.
AND WE MUST NOW REALLY THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT OUR PROCESSES.
THIS IS ABOUT ESTABLISHING A CULTURE THAT PUTS STUDENTS FIRST.
WE ARE INVESTING NEEDS TO MEET INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS, EMPLOYERS AND HAVING THE IMPACT THAT WE WERE INTENDED TO HAVE ON OUR COMMUNITY.
IT REALLY IS A SHIFT FROM INSTITUTIONAL FOCUS TO MEETING THE NEEDS AND USING OUR RESOURCES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OTHERS AND BEING STEWARDS OF THOSE RESOURCES IN THE PROCESS.
SO WE'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AS WE GO THROUGH TODAY AND TOMORROW FOR I THINK INSIGHT, CONVERSATION, AND THE ABILITY TO REALLY, I THINK HOPEFULLY BOARD MEMBERS, CHALLENGE US ON WHAT WE ARE DOING AS WE THEN RECHANNEL OUR RESOURCES IN BOTH OUR TALENT, WHO WE HIRE, WHO WE RETAIN, OUR PERSONNEL POLICIES, OUR FACILITIES POLICIES, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT POLICIES AND OUR BUSINESS POLICIES IN THE FUTURE.
WITH THAT, MADAME CHAIR, I AM GOING TO ASK THAT WE BEGIN WITH ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE WITH SHAWNDA FLOYD, GREG MORRIS AND DANIELLE VALLE.
>> I WANT TO TRUST THAT TRUSTEE COMPTON IS IN ATTENDANCE? WE CAN GO ON WITH THE FIRST PRESENTATION.
[6. Solidifying the Academic Experience for Students ]
>> GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED.
EXCITED ABOUT TAKING TIME TO FURTHER EXPLAIN WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES ACADEMIC AFFAIRS AS A PART OF OUR WORK FORCE AND EDUCATION COMMITTEE WE HAVE BEEN REINFORCING THE STRUCTURE AND HOW WE ARE SET UP INTO SEVEN SCHOOLS.
I KNOW THEY WILL PULL THE PRESENTATION.
SOLIDIFYING ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE FOR STUDENTS.
HOW WE ARE NEWLY ORGANIZED AND EXPLAINING THAT STRUCTURE.
[00:11:03]
TODAY'S PRESENTATION WILL GO DEEPLY BEHIND THE SCENES WORK WE HAVE BEEN DOING TO SOLIDIFY THE ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE FOR STUDENTS IN TERMS OF COURSES, CONTENT, PROGRAM, AND HOW THEY ARE ABLE TO ACHIEVE CREDENTIALS AND ACHIEVE TO THE NEXT LEVELS.THIS IS A RECAP REALLY SO EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS HOW THEY ARE ORGANIZED WITH SEVEN SCHOOL STRUCTURE.
PRIMARY ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES THAT COME THROUGH ACADEMIC SERVICES, COME THROUGH EDUCATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS.
AND COME THROUGH E LEARNING REALLY QUITE EXPANSIVE NOT HOW WE ARE OFFERING ONLINE COURSES BUT HOW WE ARE PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR FACULTY AND STUDENTS THROUGH EFFORTS.
TODAY'S PRESENTATION WILL DIVE DEEPER INTO AN AREA THAT FALLS UNDER ACADEMIC SERVICES.
THAT IS THE AREA OF PROGRAM CONSOLIDATION AND REVIEW.
THAT IS WHY IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO SEE THE SCHOOLS ABOVE.
THIS PARTICULAR EFFORT SPANS ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS, ALL OF OUR ACADEMIC PROGRAMS, BOTH NON-CREDIT, CREDIT, AND WORK FORCE.
AND YOU WILL HEAR WHEN DR. MORRIS IS PRESENTS AS WELL AS DR. DANIELLE VALLE.
ADVANCEMENT PROFESSIONALS AS WELL AS STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES AND STUDENT SUCCESS PROFESSIONALS THAT REPORT TO DR. JOSEPH WHO WORKED WITH US COLLABORATIVELY TO INSURE WE ARE ALL ALIGNED AS WE ARE LOOKING AT THE PROGRAMMING WE ARE OFFERING OUR STUDENTS TO MAKE SURE IT I ONE THAT THEY NEED, RESPONSIVE TO JOBS AND LABOR MARKET OUT THERE.
ALSO ALIGNED ACROSS ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES.
WHEN WE WERE SEVEN COLLEGES, MANY PROGRAMS DEMRIK TIF, IN THAT WE OFFERED THEM BUT DONE DIFFERENTLY.
THIS EFFORT WILL SHOW ALIGNMENT WORK BEHIND THE SCENES AND HOW WE ARE GOING TO ROBUSTLY SCALE UP THE ALIGNMENT AND PROGRAM REVIEW AND ASSESSMENT ACROSS THE SCHOOLS.
I AM GOING TO LET GREG TAKE OVER.
ONE OF THE FOCUSES WE HONED IN ON, HOW DO WE DO ASSESSMENT IN THIS NEW SPACE? HOW DO WE DO PROGRAM REVIEW.
ALSO HOW DO WE INSURE CURRICULUM IS TIMELY IN RESPONSE TO BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY.
WE HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF WORK.
IN THIS NEXT SLIDE, TIMELINE MILESTONES WE HAVE ESTABLISHED OVER THE LAST 11 MONTHS SINCE BECOMING DALLAS COLLEGE.
PEARLA, IF YOU DON'T MIND GOING BACK TO THE PREVIOUS SLIDE.
IT WAS ONLY 11 MONTHS AGO WE WERE ENGAGING IN SEVEN DIFFERENT REVIEW PROCESSES.
WE WERE SEVEN DIFFERENT COLLEGES COMPETING WITH THE SAME MARKET.
SHAWNDA MENTIONED THAT LED TO DUPLICATE OF PROGRAMS. DUPLICATE OF PROGRAMS CONFUSE STUDENTS.
I THINK TO A LESSER DEGREE AS WELL.
A LOT OF THE OF OUR CURRICULAR DECISION SOLAR SYSTEM MADE LESS ON ROBUST DATA AND MORE AROUND ANECDOTAL INFORMATION.
THAT PAINTS A HISTORY OF WHERE WE STARTED 11 MONTHS AGO.
PERLA? WE HAVE BEEN ENGAGED IN ABOUT FOUR DIFFERENT AREAS.
I KNOW WE HATE WHEN WE USE ACRONYMS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.
CURRICULUM ASSESSMENT AND PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT.
OF COURSE PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT IS ANOTHER WORD FOR PROGRAM REVIEW.
WE WERE DELIBERATE IN SETTING UP THE STRUCTURE.
LOOKING AT THE ASSESSMENT LEVEL UNDERSTANDING IF STUDENTS ARE REALLY LEARNING.
AND IF THE LEARNING IS TIED TO SPECIFIC INDUSTRY NEED THERE WAS A REAL DISCONNECT.
FINALLY PROGRAM REVIEW DONE AT ALL SEVEN COLLEGES.
[00:15:01]
NEVER A STRONG COHESIVENESS ACROSS THOSE SPACES.WE WERE DELIBERATE IN STEPPING UP THIS NEW CAPM OFFICE.
LET ME TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE ACTIONS IN THE LAST YEAR.
WE HAVEN'T LET IT SLOW US DOWN NEW PROGRAMS. MANY HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE TRUE PATHWAYS.
A LOT OF THAT WORK AND STAND THAT UP QUICKLY I AM TALKING WITHIN TWO MONTHS, BASED ON EARLIER WORK WE HAVE DONE.
I WILL TOUCH ON A FEW THINGS ON THIS SLIDE THEN JUMP TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
WE WORKED WITH THE COORDINATING BOARD.
WE WANTED TO GET AN UNDERSTANDING FROM THEM WHERE THEY SAW THE DUPLICATE PROGRAMS. WE WERE ABLE TO COALESCE -- THROUGHOUT THE FALL WE DID ENGAGE FACULTY ON WAYS TO LET ACADEMIC ASSESSMENT AND CURRICULUM INTERLINKED.
WE DID SEVERAL WORKSHOPS FOCUSSING ON HOW OUR CURRICULUM COMMITTEES WOULD STRUCTURE IN A RAPID PACE.
DIDN'T TAKE US LONG TO LAUNCH A NEW CURRICULUM PROCESS.
TO GIVE YOU CONTEXT, NOT ONLY WERE WE ADDRESSING CURRICULUM AT SEVEN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, BUT FIVE ADMINISTRATIVE LAYERS.
WITH THE NEW STRUCTURE REDUCED THAT TO TWO.
CURRICULUM CHANGES DIRECTLY FROM FACULTY UP TO SCHOOL REVIEW COMMITTEE.
ONE OF THE UNIQUE THINGS, THEY ARE SCHOOL BASED.
YOU HAVE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS IN THAT SPACE WHO CAN BETTER RESPOND TO CURRICULUM NEEDS.
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD DR. MAY MENTION IT.
CONTACT OUR REIMBURSEMENT ANALYSIS.
MOST PROGRAMS ALIGNED TO CIP CLASSIFICATION OF INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS. IT IS A FEDERALLY BASED WAY.
WE GET FUNDED DIFFERENT RATES FROM THE STATES DEPENDING ON WHAT PROGRAMS WE OFFER.
SO WE ALSO DID ANALYSIS LOOKING WHERE OUR PROGRAMS WERE SLOTTED AT THE STATE LEVEL TO ANALYZE WHETHER WE WERE MAXIMIZING AND PROGRAMS SLOTTED INTO THE APPROPRIATE CATEGORIES.
I'LL ASK DANIEL TO TAKE IT FROM HERE.
ALL THIS WORK LEADING UP TO THIS TRULY SPEAKS TO HOW QUICKLY WE WERE ABLE TO RESPOND TO THE CALL TO GET THE TRUE PATHWAYS OFF THE GROUND.
IN OUR OLD MODEL SOME OF THESE CURRICULAR CHANGES WOULD TAKEN TWO YEARS OR MORE.
I WOULD LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO DANIELLE.
WE HAVE BEENN'T BEEN WORKING ON PLANNING.
WE HAVE BEEN MOVING FORWARD WITH COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM EXPANSIONS, WE HAVE DONE PROGRAM CLOSURES.
WE ALSO HAVE DONE PROGRAM CON SOL CONSOLIDATIONS.
PART OF THE PROCESS WHEN WE WERE IDENTIFYING WHERE WE MIGHT HAVE PARTICULARLY DUPLICATIVE PROGRAMS. EXAMPLE OF NURSING, WE HAD THREE SEPARATE NURSING PROGRAMS. THREE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT DEGREE PLANS ALL LEADING TO THE SAME KRE CREDENTIAL.
WE RECOGNIZED WE NEEDED TO GET THAT DOWN TO ONE DALLAS COLLEGE PROGRAM.
SOME PIECES IDENTIFIED EARLY ON.
OUR FACULTY HAVE BEEN RESPONDING WITH THEIR PLANS AN THEIR TIME LINES OF WHEN WE ARE GOING TO MOVE FROM THOSE NURSING FOR EXAMPLE, THREE PROGRAMS TO ONE.
[00:20:07]
FALL OF NEXT YEAR, DALLAS COLLEGE'S SINGLE NURSING PROGRAM.MAKING THAT SYSTEM CLEAR AND TRANSPARENT AND TAKING TIME TO GIVE THEM INFORMATION THEY NEED TO TELL PROGRAM STORY AND BE ABLE TO MAKE THE KIND OF RECOMMENDATIONS THAT YOU SEE ON THE PROGRESS HERE.
WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO ALL OF THAT IN A ROBUST AND SYSTEMIC WAY ACROSS ALL OUR PROGRAMS, ACROSS ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS.
AS GREG SAID THAT HASN'T STOPPED US FROM MAKING PROGRESS REALLY EARLY ON.
CONSOLIDATION ITSELF PROMPTED CHANGES TO MOVE SOME PROGRAMS DOWN TO MORE FOCUSSED DALLAS PROGRAMS. EXCITING EXAMPLE IS OUR DIGITAL ART, MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS.
HAS WORK THEY HAVE DONE IN ALL THREE CATEGORIES.
THAT WORK WAS PROMPTED SIMPLY BY PROVIDING THE FACULTY WITH SOME DATA ABOUT THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT INFORMATION WE HAD ABOUT THOSE PROGRAMS. THESE RECOMMENDATIONS AND OUTCOMES ARE ALL THE FACULTY-DRIVEN RESPONSES TO THAT INFORMATION.
SO THEY HAVE DECIDED AS A GROUP, CONSOLIDATED CURRICULUM COMMITTEE AND IDENTIFIED HOW THEY WERE GOING TO RECALIBRATE AND REALIGN PROGRAMS TO MEET INDUSTRY AND INDUSTRY NEED WE DEFINITELY WANT TO SEE THE PROGRESS HAPPENING.
ALSO THE IMPORTANT THING IT BRINGS CLARITY TO OUR STUDENTS.
SUNSET, 11 DIFFERENT CREDENTIALS AND THREE DIFFERENT TRACKS, UX/UI.
THEY NOW HAVE THREE CLEAR TRACKS NOT ONLY MORE CLEAR FOR STUDENTS THEIR PATH TO COLLEAGUES.
ALSO MUCH CLEARER UNDERSTAND TO INDUSTRY AND A JOB AT THE END OF THE DAY.
SOMETIMES WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PROGRAM REVIEW, WE JUMP TO THINKING ABOUT WHAT PROGRAMS ARE GOING TO BE CLOSED.
THAT IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE OUTCOMES OF PROGRAM REVIEW.
WE ALSO EXPECT TO SEE THE TRIGGERING OF THE EXPANSION OR DEVELOPMENT OF NEW PROGRAMS AS WELL.
AND THAT WE HAVE ALL OF THOSE THINGS WORKING TOGETHER SO THAT INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT THE CLOSURES AS AN EXIT FROM THAT SPACE, IT IS A RECALIBRATION AND GIVES OPPORTUNITY TO REINVEST THE WAYS WE ARE INVESTING IN FACULTY.
WE NOW HAVE THE SETTLE CENTER FOR EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING AND LEARNING.
THERE MAYBE AS A RESULT OF PROGRAM REVIEW IDENTIFICATION OF A NEW DIRECTION WE NEED TO GO WITH THE PROGRAM THAT MIGHT SIGNAL NEED FOR FACULTY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
WE WOULD HAVE THAT REINVESTMENT IN SETTLE'S ACTIVITY ALSO ACADEMIC INCUBATOR WHICH CAN SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION OF NEW PROGRAMS. I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROGRESS, I THINK WHEN WE THINK ABOUT HISTORICALLY, WAYS WE MANAGED OUR CURRICULUM IN THE PAST.
NOT ONLY WAS IT AS WE KEEP SAYING, IT WAS MANAGED IN SEVEN DIFFERENT WAYS.
I THINK AS GREG SAID THE TIMELINE WAS JUST REALLY, REALLY CUMBERSOME TO GET THROUGH ALL OF THE LAYERS OF APPROVAL.
NOW IN JUST ONE ACADEMIC YEAR WITH ONE GROUP OF FACULTY TO HAVE SOME INFORMATION AND DATA TO RESPOND TO.
THEY CAME UP WITH A ROBUST WAY OF ADDRESSING THE BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY NEEDS THEY SEE IN THEIR AREA IN WAYS THAT HELP US GAIN A LOT OF EFFICIENCIES OVER TIME.
OTHER IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE HERE IS THAT EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE HAD THIS SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THAT CURRICULUM AREA WE ARE RETAINING ALL THE FULL-TIME
[00:25:06]
FACULTY MEMBERS.WE ARE NOT EXISTING THAT SPACE, WE ARE RECALIBRATING IN THAT SPACE AND BE ABLE TO DEPLOY FACULTY MEMBERS AND CONTINUE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR STUDENTS AND HAVE COMPREHENSIVE TEACH OUT PLANS FOR ANYTHING SUN SETTED.
IT WILL TAKE PLACE ANYWHERE FROM ONE TO THREE YEARS AS WE PHASE THOSE OUT.
SO AS SHAWNDA IS GOING TO TELL US LITTLE MORE ABOUT THAT COMPREHENSIVE INTENTIONAL PROGRAM REVIEW WE ARE PLANNING FOR ALL OF THE PROGRAMS OF DALLAS COLLEGE, THIS IS TO HIGHLIGHT FOR YOU THAT PROGRESS WE HAVE MADE ORGANICALLY AS THE CONSOLIDATION PROCESS UNFOLDED.
>> DANIELLE, THIS IS TRUSTEE BOYD.
CAN YOU AT SOME POINT IN TIME HELP RELATE, FOR EXAMPLE, ANY OF THE PROGRAMS, WHETHER IT BE NURSING OR WHATEVER WHO OUR STRATEGIC PARTNERS ARE FROM EMPLOYMENT OR FOR EXAMPLE EMT/PARAMETTIC.
IT CONCERNS ME THAT WE HAVE THE CITY OF DALLAS DOING THEIR EMT OR PARAMETTIC BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE SUBURBAN CITIES.
MY QUESTION IS WHY? I KNOW WE ALL FOR EXAMPLE, IN DUNCANVILLE, WE DON'T HAVE ONE FIREMAN THAT IS PARAMEDIC.
I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO -- AS IT RELATES TO ONE OR A MRET RA OF POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS ARE KEY.
AMAZON SHOWS UP VERY WELL AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THAT A LITTLE BIT.
DEFINITELY PROVIDING ADDITIONAL DETAIL.
SHAWNDA, I AM SURE WILL BE ABLE TO CONNECT YOU GUYS SO SHE CAN GIVE YOU DETAILS SINCE THAT IS OUTSIDE MY AREA.
I AM CONFIDENT SHAWNDA CAN BE SURE YOU GET THAT INFORMATION.
TRUSTEE BOYD, WE'LL PROVIDE A LIST.
DR. FLINT SAYS WE DO, YES, PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES IN SUBURBAN SPACES IN PARTICULAR WITH EMS PROGRAMS. SHE IS GOING TO GET A COMPREHENSIVE LIST.
I KIND OF LIKE TO KNOW THEY ARE.
I FEEL AS A TRUSTEE, I NEED TO THANK THEM OR ENCOURAGE THEM TO PUT MORE STUDENTS IN.
OUTSIDE INFLUENCE MIGHT BE OF VALUE THAT THE TRUSTEE COULD PROVIDE.
IF I KNOW WHO THOSE PEOPLE ARE.
>> TRUSTEE BOYD, THIS IS PYEPER WILKINS.
I'LL STEP IN AND HELP SHAWNDA.
OUR EMPLOYER RESOURCE CENTER IN A PROCESS OF COMING UP WITH EMPLOYER COLLABORATIONS ACROSS THE BOARD.
REGARDLESS OF WHAT DISCIPLINE OR WHAT SCHOOL, WE ARE GATHERING THAT INFORMATION SO WE CAN PROVIDE THAT TO YOU.
>> TRUSTEE BOYD, I'LL MENTION, TOO, TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE TEAM, WE HAVE BEEN IN ADDITION TO THE CITY OF DALLAS WITH EMT, WE HAVE HAD REGIONS AS FAR OUT AS WAXAHACHIE APPROACH US FOR DOING THEIR EMT TRAINING FOR THEIR FIRE AND RESCUE.
RECOGNIZED BY THE STATE, TRIPLE CREDIT MODEL.
GROWING DUAL CREDIT SURPRISINGLY BEFORE THEY CAN GO INTO THE PARAMEDIC PROGRAM.
I AM GOING TO SAY MESQUITE, GARLAND, SEVERAL OTHERS, I LOVE YOUR IDEA.
PUTTING OUT IN SOME OF THESE CATEGORIZATIONS SOME OF THE MAJOR ARE DEPARTMENTS.
I'LL MENTION WITH NURSING, WE HAVE A HOME GROWN PROGRAM WITH THEM,
[00:30:02]
CUSTOMIZED PROGRAM.PARKLAND, UT SOUTHWESTERN IS A BIG PROVIDER.
WE'LL DO THAT AND MAKE SURE TO CROSSWALK ALL THESE, TOO, SO YOU CAN GET A BETTER SENSE OF THE MAJOR PLAYERS.
>> ALSO HELPS US TO SEE WHO MIGHT BE MISSING THAT WE AS TRUSTEES MAY HAVE INFORMATION, WHY YOU ARE NOT UTILIZING OUR PROGRAMS.
>> DR. FLOYD, I AM GOING TO END OUR PRESENTATION TODAY, PERLA, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO TO THE SLIDES.
I WAS EXCITED TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU.
ACADEMIC UNITS, PORK FORCE AND ADVANCEMENT.
MOST RECENTLY, UNDER DR. JOSEPH ARE STRATEGIC ANALYTICS DEPARTMENT.
UNDER DR. ADAMS. SO I AM JUST GOING TO TOUCH -- REALLY HIGHLIGHT ON A COUPLE OF AREAS BOARD WILL BE PLEASED TO HEAR ABOUT.
GOING OFF THE ACRONYM OF SCALE.
FIVE KEY THEMATIC PRIORITIES WE'LL USE IN OUR PROGRAM REMOVE.
SCALE SPEAKS TO THE IDEA OF HAVING RIGHT MIX OF PROGRAMS, BUT WHAT NEW PROGRAMS AND EXPANDED PROGRAMS DO WE NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO MEET REGIONAL MARKETPLACE? BIG PRIORITY IS AROUND COMPLETION DRIVEN.
SOLELY FOCUSSED HOW STUDENTS ARE PERFORMING? RETENTION RATES, PERSISTENT RATES.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, ARE THEY GETTING ENGAGED IN HIGH WAGE EMPLOYMENT BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY? ALSO LOOKING AT AFFORDABILITY OF PROGRAMS. BOTH FROM CLASSIC SENSE LOOKING AT WHAT IS THE COST IN REVENUE PERSPECTIVE.
DENTAL HYGIENE WHERE WE RUN FREE CLINICS.
FINALLY LAST TWO, WORKING CLOSELY WITH DR. WILKIN'S TEAM HOW THEY ARE RESPONSIVE TO THE MARKET ACROSS A VARIETY OF INDICATORS ALSO INCLUDE MORE REBUST ENGAGEMENT WITH ADVISORY BOARDS.
FINALLY, WE COULDN'T LEAVE EQUITY OFF OF THIS CONVERSATION AS WE LOOK AT PROGRAM REVIEW.
WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS ARE SERVING ALL OUR STUDENTS.
IF WE DON'T DO THAT, WE ARE MISSING THE MARK.
WE ARE PUTTING IN VARIABLES AND METRICS TO ENGAGE PROGRAMS IF AN EQUITY LENS.
WE'LL HAVE MORE INFORMATION AS WE GET INTO THE DEPTHS OF COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM REVIEW.
THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION.
I WILL TURN IT BACK TO DR. FLOYD.
>> ANYBODY HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? I THINK I CAN TURN IT OVER TO -- I DON'T KNOW IF WE ARE BREAKING BEFORE DR. JOSEPH, PERLA?
>> OKAY DR. JOSEPH, YOU CAN TAKE OVER WITH REINVESTING WITH STUDENT SUCCESS.
[7. Reinvesting in Student Sucess]
WE ARE DELIGHTED TO TALK WITH YOU HOW WE ARE REINVESTING IN STUDENT SUCCESS AND WHAT THAT MEANS FOR OUR STUDENTS AND THEIR ON GOING EXPERIENCE.
TRANSFORMATION TO DALLAS COLLEGE INCLUDES SIGNIFICANT REINVESTMENT OF RESOURCES TO ADDRESS WHOLISTIC NEEDS OF STUDENTS AND SUPPORT THEIR SUCCESS.
NEW DALLAS COLLEGE STUDENT SUCCESS MODEL ADDRESSED TO DESIGN -- DR. STILLS AND I WILL MAKE SURE WE LEVERAGE RESOURCES TO STRENGTHEN DELIVERY OF HIGH QUALITY SERVICE FOR OUR DALLAS COLLEGE STUDENTS.
[00:35:02]
WE HAVE SEVEN NECESSARY STEPS.THIS ALIGNS WITH WHAT GREG MENTIONED EARLIER IN HIS PRESENTATION CONFUSING MESSAGES AND SEVEN DIFFERENT WAYS OF DOING THINGS.
WHEN RECRUITING STUDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY, SEVEN CAMPUSES COMPETED WITH ONE ANOTHER.
WE OPERATED VERY TERRITORIALLY.
FOR EXAMPLE, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT OR ADULT STUDENT BEING SERVED BY EL CENTRO CAMPUS, THEY WILL RECEIVE INFORMATION ABOUT HEALTH PROGRAMS, CULINARY OR PARALEGAL.
HOWEVER, IF YOU WERE IN ANOTHER COMMUNITY NOT BEING SERVED BY EL CENTRO, INFORMATION YOU GOT WAS NOT EQUITABLE.
YOU WERE NOT EXPOSED TO ALL THE POPE -- POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES.
THE NEW WAY OF SERVING OUR COMMUNITY INCLUDES A MUCH MORE EQUITABLE APPROACH IN THE PROMOTION OF OUR PROGRAMS ACROSS ALL OF THE COUNTY.
STARTING AS EARLY AS 8TH GRADE AND TRACKING ENGAGEMENT THROUGH ENROLLMENT.
ALSO NOW HIGHLIGHTING, PRIORITIZING PROGRAMS BASED ON LABOR MARKET NEEDS.
LITTLE LATER DURING ENROLLMENT PRESENTATION, YOU'LL HEAR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WAYS WE HAVE STRATEGICALLY ENHANCED RECRUITMENT, OUTREACH AND MARKETING.
LET ME TALK ABOUT STUDENT SUCCESS.
OLD APPROACH OF SUPPORTING STUDENTS SCATTERED TO SAY THE LEAST.
VERY DIFFICULT FOR US TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS WHEN THEY WERE SELECTING A PATHWAY.
IF THEY WENT TO A CAMPUS TODAY, THEY WOULD TALK TO ONE ADVISER, NEXT DAY SOMEBODY ELSE.
IN MOST CASES THEY HAVE TO REPEAT THEIR STORY.
STUDENTS HAD A HARD TIME TO COMPLETE IN BEING SUCCESSFUL IN SHORT A PERIOD OF TIME AS POSSIBLE.
SO SEVEN DIFFERENT WAYS OF APPROACHING THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF THE MODEL VARIED SIGNIFICANTLY BECAUSE OF DIFFERENT STRUCTURES, DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGY AND DIFFERENT PRACTICES.
HOWEVER IN THE NEW WAY OF SUPPORTING STUDENT SUCCESS INCLUDES CREATION OF SUCCESS COACH.
SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT STUDENTS WILL PROVIDE WITH WHOLISTIC CASE MANAGEMENT SUPPORT.
SUCCESS COACH RESPONSIBLE FOR CONNECTING STUDENTS TO RESOURCES BASED ON UNIQUE NEEDS.
THEY WILL NO LONGER HAVE TO GO TO FIVE DIFFERENT PLACES.
EVERY TIME THEY APPROACH, THEY GET A NEW SET OF INFORMATION.
>> SO HOW MANY STUDENTS PER SUCCESS COACH?
WE HAVE COMPLETED THE PROCESS OUR HOPE IS TO HAVE THOSE INDIVIDUALS ON BOARDED RIGHT AFTER THE 4TH OF JULY.
>> SO YOU ARE HIRING 200-250? WHAT WAS THE NUMBER?
>> WE ARE HIRING APPROXIMATELY 250 SUCCESS COACHES.
>> AND THAT WOULD COVER ALL OF OUR CREDIT STUDENT POPULATION?
WE ARE PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR CREDIT, NON CREDIT AND DUAL CREDIT.
>> 250 SUCCESS COACHES, 350 STUDENTS, 87,500 STUDENTS.
SO WE ARE NOT REALLY GOING TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT EXPERIENCE TO ALL OF THEM? HOW IS THIS GOING TO WORK? MAY NOT NEED TO GET INTO THE SPECIFICS.
THIS IS LITTLE BIT GETTING WEEDY.
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW AS WE ARE WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY TO HAVE SPECIFICS.
IF YOU COULD PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION.
I WILL MAKE SURE YOU GET THAT TRUSTEE FLORES.
[00:40:03]
>> IN TERMS OF STUDENT WELLNESS AND SUPPORT PIECE OF OUR MODEL, IN OUR OLD WAY AVAILABILITY OF RESOURCES WERE HIGHLY INEQUITABLE.
WE HAD LOCATIONS THAT DIDN'T HAVE OFFICES OR STAFF DEDICATED TO THIS WORK.
MOST LOCATIONS WAS A TEAM OF ONE OR ADDED DUTY TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
WE HAD EXTREMELY LIMITED BUDGETS TO SUPPORT WRAP AROUND SERVICES INCLUDING RESOURCES.
PROVIDE THE GROWING DEMAND AND SUPPORT STUDENTS NEED IN THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL SUPPORT WE KNOW STUDENTS REQUIRE TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
HOWEVER, IN OUR CURRENT MODEL, WE HAVE DEDICATED STAFF AND RESOURCES WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR WRAP AROUND SERVICES THAT ARE MORE EQUITABLE AND INTENTIONAL.
THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE WAYS IN WHICH WE HAVE SHIFTED OUR APPROACH TO STUDENTS SUCCESS.
I AM GOING TO HAND OFF TO DR. STILLS TO SHARE A BIT MORE ON NEWLY DESIGNED STUDENT EXPERIENCE AND SOME OF THE WAYS WE ARE INSURING EXCELLENCE.
>> DR. JOSEPH, COULD I ASK A QUESTION FIRST?
>> I KNOW YOU USE THE WORD MENTAL.
WE ARE IN THIS NEW LOOK AT THE RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT HOW THIS LAST YEAR HAS EXPOSED TO US HOW THE MENTAL WELL BEING OF OUR STUDENTS HAS DIRECT RELATIONS TO THEIR SUCCESS.
WHERE DOES THAT CONNECTIVITY OCCUR? IS THAT THE SUCCESS COACH THAT IS GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR THE UNSTABLE OR THAT PERSON THERE IS AN ISSUE OR POSSIBILITY OF MEETING MENTAL SUPPORT THROUGH OUR COUNTY MENTAL PROGRAM OR WHATEVER DEPRESSION TRAINING OR UNDERSTANDING, WHERE DOES THAT HELP GET IDENTIFIED? WHERE DOES THAT HELP GET STARTED?
SECRETARY -- SUCCESS COACH WILL BE CONNECTED FOR EXAMPLE, IF THEY HAVE A STUDENT THEY SEE THERE IS A NEED, WE HAVE COUNSELORS, WE HAVE OUTSIDE PARTNERS.
SUCCESS COACH WILL HELP STUDENT CONNECT WITH THOSE RESOURCES.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO JUST LET THE STUDENT TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO.
WE HAVE PARTNERSHIPS WITH OUTSIDE AGENCIES IF WE ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE LEVEL OF SUPPORT STUDENT NEEDS.
MIGHT BE MORE COMPLEX THAN WE ARE ABLE TO HANDLE, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT CONNECTION IS MADE.
WE WILL NOT LET THE STUDENT JUST TRY TO FIGURE IT ON HIS OR HER OWN.
AGAIN THE SUCCESS COACH IS A LYNCH PIN BUT CONNECT THE STUDENTS TO THE RIGHT RESOURCES.
AGAIN, AS MENTIONED,EARLIER, WE DO HAVE A BASIC NEEDS STRUCTURE WHICH WE DIDN'T HAVE BEFORE TO MAKE SURE THERE IS THE CONNECTION, SUPPORT FOR THE STUDENT ON, FROM THE DALLAS COLLEGE SIDE.
>> SO THE PEOPLE YOU ARE HIRING FOR THE SUCCESS COACH, WHAT DOES THAT PERSON LOOK LIKE? WHAT IS THE CREDENTIALS IF I WANTED TO BE A SUCCESS COACH.
WHAT ARE Y'ALL LOOKING FOR IN THAT PERSON?
>> COUPLE OF THINGS: ONE OF THE THINGS OBVIOUSLY IS UNDERSTANDING OF, OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A STUDENT, RIGHT? WHAT IT MEANS TO BE ABLE TO HELP SOMEBODY NAVIGATE CHALLENGES OF BEING IN COLLEGE, ALSO HAVING A PERSONAL LIFE.
WHICH IS WHAT WE KNOW ARE A LOT OF STUDENTS STRUGGLE WITH.
WE ARE BEING VERY INTENTIONAL IN HOW WE ARE SELECTING THESE INDIVIDUALS.
THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND HUMAN NATURE.
NAY NEED TO MAKE THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS, RIGHT DEMEANOR TO CONNECT WITH
[00:45:02]
INDIVIDUALS.IF YOU WOULD LIKE I, COULD SHARE WITH YOU THE JOB DESCRIPTION SO -- >> I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.
I HAVE A FEELING LIKE AT THE RECEPTION DESK AT THE ER, YOU HAVE THE WRONG PERSON AT THE DESK.
I FEEL LIKE IN EDUCATION WE HAVE THE SAME THING A LOT OF THE OF OUTSIDE IMPACT HAPPENING WHY THEY DROP OUT OR LEAVE.
CERTAINLY A LOT OF TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN HELP WITH TESTING AND SO FORTH TO IDENTIFY THAT.
I THINK IT IS SO CRITICAL WE DO THAT, WE HAVE THAT EMPATHIC PERSON WHO TRULY CARES ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE AND NOT JUST A POSITION IN A JOB.
>> TRUSTEE BOYD, IF I COULD ON THAT, TOO, I THINK THAT IS AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
QUITE HONESTLY, SUCCESS COACHES WILL MAYBE ENGAGE WITH 10% OF THE STUDENTS THAT WILL BE.
MAJORITY WILL BE FACULTY ENGAGING, WITH INDIVIDUALS STRUGGLING DURING THAT PROCESS.
THAT IS INTENSE TRAINING, ACCOUNTABILITY ISSUE WITH FACULTY, I THINK THAT IS GOING TO BE INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT PART OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AND TOO OFTEN WE HAVE HAD INDIVIDUALS EITHER NEGLECT THAT RESPONSIBILITY OUT OF JUST NOT BEING AWARE.
TREATED AS DISCIPLINARY ISSUE REALLY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUE.
THAT COMES WITH MORE TRAINING AND INVESTMENTS.
IT GOES FAR BEHIND SUCCESS COACHES, BUT FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION RELATED TO HOW WE MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS.
>> QUESTION DR. JOSEPH? WE TALKED ABOUT OVER THE YEARS ABOUT PARTICULARLY-RISK POPULATIONS WE SERVE IF YOU COULD GIVE US DETAIL AND HOW THIS MODEL WILL WORK FOR KIDS AGING OUT OF FOSTER CARE? ALSO THOSE THAT MAYBE LEAVING THE JUSTICE SYSTEM IN SOME FORM OR FASHION.
>> A SUPPORT GROUP FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE EXACTLY PART OF THESE AT-RISK POPULATIONS.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT FOSTER ALUMNI, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT VETERANS, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT STUDENT PARENTS.
INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE LESS, HAVE HAD OTHER CHALLENGES.
THERE ARE, THERE IS MORE THAN ONE LAYER.
I DON'T WANT TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION ONLY SUPPORT IS THE SUCCESS COACH.
SUCCESS COACH WILL HELP THE STUDENT NAVIGATE.
THERE ARE OTHER LAYERS FOR SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS ALONG THE WAY.
WE ARE ALREADY WORKING ON THE OTHER SUPPORT GROUPS FOR THESE OTHER TYPES OF POPULATIONS.
>> YEAH BUT CAN YOU GIVE ME AN ILLUSTRATION PERHAPS OF A STUDENT PATHWAY? KID COMING OUT OF FOSTER CARE ADULT MID TO LATE 20S OUT OF THE STATE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM? NOW DOES THAT STUDENT ACCESS THOSE SERVICE? WHAT IS THE PATHWAY LOOKLIKE.
[00:50:02]
IF A STUDENT COMING IN AND THE COLLEGE COACH WILL BE ABLE TO HELP STUDENTS RECRUITMENT UNTIL REGISTRATION READY.THAT IS ONE SOURCE OF INFORMATION.
THEN THE STUDENT WILL BE HANDED OFF TO THE SUCCESS COACH ALSO ANOTHER SOURCE OF INFORMATION FOR THOSE TYPES OF NEEDS, RIGHT? IF YOU ARE A FOSTER CARE ALUMNI, WE WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION AT THAT POINT.
WE WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION THROUGH THE WEBSITE.
PROVIDE INFORMATION THROUGH SUCCESS COACH, COLLEGE COACH.
THERE ARE WAYS IN WHICH YOU CAN GET THE INDIVIDUAL TO ENGAGE FOR THOSE PARTICULAR NEEDS.
AN EXAMPLE ON FOSTER ALUMNI, WHEN STUDENTS APPLY, WE ARE ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHO THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE SO WE ARE BEING PROACTIVE IN ENGAGING THEM IN THE PROCESS THEY ARE APPLYING.
WE HAVE RESOURCES FOR THEM WHILE THEY ARE APPLYING.
AND ONCE THEY REGISTER WITH US.
THOSE ARE SOME OF THE WAYS IN WHICH WE ARE TRYING TO BE PROACTIVE IN LETTING THEM KNOW, THAT THEY ARE WELCOME.
THAT WE ARE HERE, WE UNDERSTAND THEIR NEEDS AND WE HAVE SUPPORT FOR THEM.
>> IF I MIGHT JUST ADD TO HELP THERE, TRUSTEE RITTER, WE DO ACTUALLY HAVE A THRIVING LEARNING COMMUNITY FOCUSSED ON FOSTER CARE STUDENTS THAT WOULD RECEIVE SPECIFIC SERVICES THAT WOULD BE RELEVANT FOR THAT PARTICULAR STUDENT POPULATION.
WE HAVE A HOST OF THRIVE AND LEARNING COMMUNITIES AND LATER ON IN THE PRESENTATION WE'LL HIGHLIGHT EXAMPLES THROUGH THE LENS OF THE STUDENT.
>> THANK YOU, KAREN, I WOULD LIKE TO GO LITTLE DEEPER SOME TIME.
FIGURE OUT WHAT WE ARE DOING BEFORE KIDS AGE OUT IN TERMS OF OUTREACH WHILE THEY ARE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL.
WHOLE STATE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM IS A MESS.
IT IS BEING REDESIGNED PRIVATE PROVIDERS COMING IN AND TAKING OVER RESPONSIBILITY.
AS AN INSTITUTION, ONE OF THE BEST POSITION ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY TO REALLY FOCUS RESOURCES ON SPECIFIC KIDS.
I DON'T THINK JUST HAVING AN UNDIFFERENTIATED APPROACH IS GOING TO BE SUFFICIENT TO MEET THEIR NEEDS.
I WOULD OFFER SAME WITH THOSE COMING OUT OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM AND VETERANS, TOO.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO AROUND THESE AT-RISK POPULATIONS.
I WOULD WELCOME OFFLINE CHANCE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND AND SUPPORT WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO, THANK YOU.
>> DR. JOSEPH, TRUSTEE BOYD AGAIN, WHAT ARE OUR, WHERE DO WE CROSS BOUNDARIES, WHERE DO WE HAVE ISSUES THAT WHEN WE GET RAYED READY TO HIRE SOMEBODY, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO GIVE APTITUDE TESTS.
WITH SO MUCH GOOD TECHNOLOGY IN IDENTIFYING WHERE PEOPLE ARE IN LIFE, DO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO UTILIZE TESTING ON THE INBOARDING OF A STUDENT TO BRING THEM ON BOARD TO HELP IDENTIFY ISSUES IN THE MENTAL HEALTH AREA? THAT IS AN AREA I KNOW THERE IS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF OPPORTUNITY THERE.
IF YOU CAN UNCOVER STUFF AND ALSO SAVE A STUDENT SUCCESS OR FAILURE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RULES ARE.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU CROSS THE BOUNDARIES OR LINES.
HOW MUCH PREPARATORY TESTING CAN WE DO TO KNOW WHERE A STUDENT IS SO WE KNOW THE PATHWAY TO TAKE WITH THAT STUDENT?
>> GREAT QUESTION BY THE WAY, IMPORTANT QUESTION.
[00:55:01]
SHORT ANSWER IS: WE DO HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO ASSESS.WE DO HAVE CAPABILITY TO DETERMINE.
WE PARTICIPATED WITH UT SOUTHWESTERN IN A SIGNIFICANT PROJECT COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, 15 MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT THAT BOTH PROVIDED DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES AND TOOLS AS WELL AS TREATMENT SERVICES TO STUDENTS.
THE CHALLENGE IS, KEY COMPONENT, WHAT IS THE MOTIVATION FOR THEM TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS? TURNED OUT THAT WAS REALLY LAPPING.
WE ONLY WERE ABLE TO ENGAGE A FRACTION OF NUMBER OF STUDENTS WE FELT LIKE NEEDED THOSE SERVICES, COULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES.
THAT HAS BEEN PART OF WHY I PUSHED THE TELEHEALTH ISSUE BEGINNING TO BLEND TOGETHER BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND TELEHEALTH WHERE WE BELIEVE MORE STUDENTS WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE AND MANDATE A SURVEY IN THAT PROCESS.
>> WE DON'T FULLY HAVE THE ABILITY TO MANDATE THAT FOR ALL STUDENTS UP FRONT.
PROCESS DOESN'T ALLOW THAT FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS.
BUT FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES AND SUPPORT WE CAN INCLUDE THAT IN.
THAT IS REALLY IS AS I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS, PART OF OUR STRATEGY.
ABSOLUTELY MUST GET SERVICES AND HELP TO THESE INDIVIDUALS.
YOU ARE CORRECT, WE ARE THE BEST RESOURCE TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
AND NOT ONLY GOOD EDUCATIONALLY.
GOOD FOR THEM IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE.
ULTIMATELY THAT IS OUR ROLE TO HELP MAKE INDIVIDUALS SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE.
WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO PUSH THAT.
THIS IS A CONVERSATION WE NEED TO REALLY CONTINUE TO HAVE AS WE WORK WITH PARTNERS LIKE UT SOUTHWESTERN.
THERE ARE OTHERS THAT DO HAVE THE EXPERTISE.
WE CAN HIRE PEOPLE TO HELP POINT THE WAY RIGHT NOW.
WE CAN'T ADDRESS OLE THOSE NEEDS.
THAT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO GET BETTER AT AND LEARN HOW TO DO OVER TIME.
>> I HAVE SAID BEFORE, AND AGAIN I THINK THIS IS A TIME AND PROPER DEAL.
WE NEED TO ACCELERATE OUR LEADERSHIP.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US PUT TOGETHER A REAL STRONG PROGRAM BECAUSE HOW YOU BEGIN IS HOW YOU FINISH.
IF WE BEGIN WRONG, KIDS ARE GOING TO FINISH WRONG.
GLAD TO HEAR US TALK ABOUT THIS.
TO ME, THIS IS THE REAL WHOLISTIC ATTITUDE WE SAY LET'S PUT ACTION BEHIND WHAT WE SAY.
I SUPPORT THAT 110% AS MUCH AS I CAN.
THANK YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN THIS AREA.
>> IF I MAY, I WOULD LIKE TO AGREE WITH CLIFF 100%.
JOE, YOU MADE THIS A PRIORITY.
YOU AND IRIS AND DR. JOSEPH DIGGING INTO THIS.
WE HAVE A STRATEGIC DECISION IN TERMS OF WHETHER WE ARE GOING TO BUILD IN-HOUSE CAPACITY TO MEET BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND OTHER HEALTH CARE NEEDS AND WHAT THEY HAVE DONE WITH PARKLAND.
PARKLAND HAS A HUGE PEDIATRIC PROGRAM.
YOU ARE GOING DOWN THE RIGHT ROAD WITH TELEHEALTH.
VERY COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO DELIVER HEALTH CARE AT THE TIME AND PLACE A LOT OF STUDENTS NEED IT.
WE NEED TO GET INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE LIKE CLIFF WAS SUGGESTING IN TERMS OF HOW WE ARE GOING TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES LONG-TERM AND METRO CARE AND PARKLAND.
[01:00:01]
>> THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR FEEDBACK.
HELPS US G MAKE NOTES AND BETTER SERVE OUR STUDENTS.
PLEASURE TO HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE MORE ABOUT THE WAYS THE COLLEGE REINVEST AND RESOURCES TO SUPPORT STUDENT SUCCESS.
AS STUDENT SUCCESS TEAM, WHEN WE DISCUSS AND SHARE TRANSFORMATIVE SERVICES TO TRY TO NARRATIVE, WE DESCRIBE AND SHARE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS AS WELL AS THE OPPORTUNITIES AND STRATEGIES OF OUR REORGANIZATION THROUGH THE LENS OF JAMAL'S JOURNEY.
IN THAT SAME SPIRIT, THIS MORNING, I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE KEY COMPONENTS OF THE NEWLY DESIGNED STUDENT EXPERIENCE THROUGH LENS OF JAMAL'S JOURNEY.
REDESIGNED STUDENT EXPERIENCE THAT CONTINUES TO EVOLVE FROM HISTORICAL SERVICE PAIN POINTS.
MANY OF WHICH DR. JOSEPH DESCRIBED AND MANY OF YOU POINTED OUT ARE CRITICAL.
WE ARE TRYING TO MOVE TO AN EXPERIENCE THAT AUTHENTICALLY PLACES THE STUDENT IN THE EXPERIENCE.
FROM THE ONSET IN OUR NEW STRUCTURE, DR. JOSEPH MENTIONED, ENGAGEMENT AND CONNECTION WITH JAMAL BEGINS EARLY IN HIS EIGHTH GRADE YEAR.
I AM GOING TO TALK ABOUT EACH MAJOR AREA.
WE'LL HIT ON SOME OF THE THINGS WE TOUCHED ON LITTLE BIT.
BUT MAYBE A LITTLE MORE CONTEXT FROM THE LENS OF THE STUDENT.
TEAM OF COLLEGE COACHES ASSIGNED TO SERVE THE SCHOOLS IN THE NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES WHERE JAMAL LIVES ESTABLISH RELATIONSHIPS WITH JAMAL'S COUNSELORS, THEIR PRESENCE AT THE SCHOOL.
COLLEGE COURSES INTRODUCE EDUCATION, AND SUCCESSFUL CAREERS THROUGH DUAL CREDIT AND DALLAS COUNTY PRIME IS JUST TO NAME A COUPLE.
IN ADDITION TO SHARING AFFORDABILITY AND VALUES OF DALLAS COLLEGE PROGRAMS, COLLEGE COACH ALSO HELPS JAMAL AND FAMILY TO KNOW THAT DALLAS COLLEGE IS A PLACE THAT WELCOMES HIM AND REASSURES HIM AND HIS FAMILY HIS COLLEGE AND CAREER SUCCESS ARE OBTAINABLE THROUGH INTENTIONAL PROGRAMMING, ACTIVITIES AND REGULAR COMMUNICATION, JAMAL REMAINS CONNECTED.
SO WHEN HE IS A SENIOR, HE ALREADY KNOWS DALLAS COLLEGE.
HE AND FAMILY HAVE ALREADY ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS WITH COLLEGE COACHING TEAM, GAINED COMFORT, FAMILIARITY AND TRUST TO LEARN, GROW AND PURSUE AN EDUCATION AND VIABLE PATHWAY TO A CAREER.
BY THE TIME JAMAL IS A SENIOR, OUR TEAM COLLABORATES TO HELP JAMAL COMPLETE FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION.
ONCE JAMAL COMPLETES ALL THE ADMISSION STEPS, AUTOMATICALLY WILL RECEIVE WARM WELCOME PACKET THROUGH OUR USE OF SALES FORCE.
IF HE FAILS TO DO A STEP, A TEAM MEMBER WOULD REACH OUT AND OFFER ASSISTANCE UNTIL HE IS SUCCESSFULLY ADMITTED AND REGISTRATION READY.
EARLY ENGAGEMENT, COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS AND COMMUNICATIONS, ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT TEAM REMAINS COMMITTED TO STRENGTHENING THE EXPERIENCE.
YOU'LL HEAR FROM DR. PIERCE LATER IN MANAGEMENT TEAM EFFORTS.
THIS SLIDE MIGHT LOOK FAMILIAR DURING LAST MONTH'S BOARD MEETING I WAS ABLE TO SHARE DALLAS COLLEGE LEARNER CARE MODEL AND NEW SUCCESS COACH ROLE.
AND DR. JOSEPH REFERENCED MANY TIMES A Z THE LYNCH PIN TO THE LEARNER CARE
[01:05:08]
MODEL.LEARNER CARE MODEL ALL ABOUT REIMAGINING THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE AND LEVERAGING A HIGHLY INTEGRATED NETWORK SPANNING SPECTRUM OF CHARTNESS INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL TO THE COLLEGE.
MANY QUESTIONS AROUND HOW DOES A STUDENT GET CONNECTED TO SOMEONE THAT HAS EXPERTISE AND MENTAL HEALTH.
COLLEGE COACH DOES NOT HAVE THE EXPERTISE BUT DO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF WHERE STUDENTS SHOULD PROVIDE THAT HAND OFF AND REFERRAL IN A WARM CONNECTED WAY WHERE A STUDENT DOES NOT FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS.
IT IS NECESSARY BECAUSE ERADICATING POVERTY AND SERVING NEEDS OF 80,000 STUDENTS AND EQUIPPING WITH KNOWLEDGE.
COLLECTIVELY HOWEVER, WE ARE ABLE TO TRULY CHANGE LIVES THROUGH HIGHER EDUCATION.
RIGHT NEXT TO HIM IS HIS SUCCESS COACH.
AS WE ALREADY DISCUSSED SUCCESS COACH ABLE TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS WITH WHATEVER THEY NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL TAPPING INTO THIS VAST NETWORK AND CONNECTING THEM WITH THE RESOURCES THAT MEETS THEIR NEEDS.
PRY PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER PROVIDING SUPPORT FROM MOMENT HE ENROLLS UNTIL HE GRADUATES, TRANSFERS HIS CAREER.
HIS SUPPORT SYSTEM WILL NOT CHANGE.
SUCCESS COACHES PROVIDE JAMAL AND ALL DALLAS COLLEGE STUDENTS WARM PERSONALIZED CONNECTION AND REFERRAL.
ELIMINATING RISK OF GETTING LOST OR BEING UNSURE ABOUT THE NEXT STEP.
TO MAXIMIZE OPPORTUNITY FOR SUCCESS, TRUSTEE FLORES, YOU ASKED ABOUT RATIO? SUCCESS COACHES RESPONSIBLE FOR MANAGING UP TO 350 STUDENTS.
BASED THAT ON 80,000 STUDENTS TOTAL.
BECAUSE IT IS TOUGH TO CASE MANAGE STUDENTS AND KEEP UP WITH ALL THE SPECIFIC DETAILS, PROGRAMS AS THEY EVOLVE AND CHANGE AS WE HEARD THIS MORNING, WE HAVE A PATHWAY SPECIALIST ROLE ALIGNED WITH OUR SEVEN SCHOOLS TO SERVE AS A PATHWAY EXPERT.
SUPPORT SUCCESS COACHES, SERVE AS FACULTY AND SCHOOL LIAISON TO HELP INFORM STUDENTS ABOUT PROGRAMS OF STUDY AND CAREER AND TRANSFER OPTIONS.
IF JAMAL WAS UNSURE ABOUT HIS CAREER PATH OR MORE IN DEPTH CONVERSATION ABOUT CAREERS, STUDENT OR SUCCESS COACH COULD CONNECT WITH A PATHWAY SPECIALIST FOR CONSULTATION AND GUIDANCE.
TO INSURE WE REMAIN ON TRACK DIRECTOR WORKING IN TANDEM WITH DEANS TO DEVELOP ON BOARD AND TRAINING IN A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SERIES WHICH WILL INCLUDE SUCCESS METRICS TO INSURE SUCCESS COACHES AND STAFF CLEARLY UNDERSTAND EXPECTATIONS AND HAVE WHAT THEY NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL FROM THE START.
WE ARE ALSO IN THE INITIAL STAGES OF EXPLORING HOW WE CAN LEVERAGE SALES FORCE AND OTHER TEAM MEMBERS BASED ON PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS TO MAINTAIN QUALITY.
I WANT TO PRESENT MAYBE A CRAZY IDEA BUT I AM ONE THAT LOOKS AT SUCCESS, IF YOU REPEAT IT MIGHT EVEN HAPPEN TO YOU.
I WATCHED HOW YOUNG LIFE -- WHOLE PROGRAM BASED UPON A THEORY, IN MOST CASES THEY HAD A HOUSE HERE IN DUNCANVILLE ACROSS TR THE HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS.
IT WAS A PLACE WHERE KIDS COULD GO AFTER SCHOOL.
[01:10:03]
THEIR DIRECTOR, OR THAT PERSON ASSIGNED TO THAT SCHOOL COULD HAVE LUNCH AND INTERMINGLE ON THE CAMPUS WITH THOSE KIDS.IT WASN'T DISRUPTIVE, I WOULD LIKE FOR Y'ALL TO THINK ABOUT AN EDUCATION HOUSE.
I AM WONDERING IF THAT RELATIONSHIP ESPECIALLY WHERE OUR AT-RISK KIDS ARE, WOULD WE BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? OR TOO FARFETCHED TO CREATE THAT STRONG LEADERSHIP WITH THOSE STUDENTS DURING FOUR YEARS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
GUYS COULD GO OUT TO CLASSES IN WELDING AND BEAUTICIANS AND TALK ABOUT THE NICE JOBS IF THEY COME ON AND GET CERTIFIED IS THAT A POSSIBILITY OR THINKING MAYBE THAT WOULDN'T WORK FOR US?
>> YOU KNOW, I HAVE LEARNED NEVER TO SAY NEVER.
I THINK BIG AUDACIOUS GOALS ARE SOMETHING WE SHOULD ALWAYS ASPIRE FOR.
I THINK INTEGRATED ENGAGEMENT AND HAVE IN-PERSON CONNECTION IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT AND WRITTEN DOWN YOUNG LIFE AS A RESOURCE TO GO BACK AND REFER TO.
TRUSTEE BOYD, I WOULDN'T SAY IT IS CRAZY AT ALL.
WE HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM TO LEARN LET ME AE SURE YOU.
I APPRECIATE THAT AS A RESOURCE.
STUDENT WELLNESS TO HAVE MORE DEEP CONVERSATIONS WITH THESE AREAS.
I HAVE NOTE THATTED TO FOLLOW UP ON.
NOW THAT WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY HELPED JAMAL, CONNECTED HIM WITH A SUCCESS COACH COMMITTED TO WALKING DURING THIS JOURNEY.
CONNECTED HIM TO COLLEGE RESOURCES TO HELP HIM LEARN AND GROW.
GREAT FIRST SEMESTER, THEN LIKE SO MANY OF OUR STUDENTS, LIFE HAPPENS.
DURING JAMAL'S FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE, HIS PARENTS DIVORCED.
CHANGE IN FAMILY DYNAMICS PUT HIM IN A TAIL SPIN.
HE IS STRESSED AND SADDENED AND ANXIOUS.
MONEY ALREADY TIGHT WHEN HIS PARENTS WERE TOGETHER.
NOW THAT IT IS JUST HIM AND HIS MOM, HE HAS GOTTEN INTO THE HABIT OF EATING ONCE A DAY TO SAVE MONEY AND FOOD.
THIS REFLECTS EXPERIENCES OF MANY DALLAS COLLEGE STUDENTS.
CURRENTLY 13% OF OUR STUDENT POPULATION HAVE UTILIZED MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND DEMAND CONTINUES TO CLIMB AS WE WORK TO DECIGNA -- DESTIGMATIZE.
2017, 60% REPORTED EXPERIENCE SOME LEVEL OF FOOD INSECURITY.
40% OF DALLAS COLLEGE STUDENTS REPORT MISSING A MEAL DUE TO FINANCIAL STRUGGLES.
COLLEGE ILL SUITED TO SUPPORT THESE NEEDS.
HOWEVER, IN THE NEW DALLAS COLLEGE STRUCTURE, JAMAL AND ALL DALLAS COLLEGE STUDENTS HAVE A HOST OF PERCENT INTEGRATED SERVICES THAT PROVIDE STRONG SUPPORT.
STUDENT CARE NETWORK AND BASIC NEEDS AREA LED BY DR. JOHNSON TO EXPAND NETWORK OF AVAILABLE RESOURCES FOR OUR STUDENTS.
WE HAVE A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH METRO CARE.
THAT CERTAINLY JUST THE BEGINNING STEP.
[01:15:04]
WE AGREE LOTS MORE WORK TO DO IN DEVELOPING THAT RELATIONSHIP AND EXPANDING THOSE SERVICES FOR OUR STUDENTS.FOOD CARDS, CLOTHING CLOSETS, ETC. WE ALSO HAVE CASE MANAGERS ASSIGNED TO EACH STUDENT.
THROUGH WHOLISTIC CASE MANAGEMENT, JAMAL'S SUCCESS COACH REFERS HIM TO A STUDENT CARE COORDINATOR.
THAT IS THE PERSON WHO WOULD CONNECT JAMAL TO A COUNSELOR AND RESOURCES FOR FOOD.
WE NOW HAVE A DEDICATED OFFICE, A TEAM ACROSS ALL LOCATIONS THAT ARE NOW COMMITTED TO CONNECTING STUDENTS WITH THESE RESOURCES.
THAT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE NEVER HAD FULL SCALE BEFORE.
BEYOND HELPING WITH BASIC NEEDS, STUDENT WELLNESS AND SUPPORT TEAM PROVIDES ADDITIONAL WRAP AROUND SERVICES TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING JAMAL THROUGHOUT HIS JOURNEY PROGRAM AND ACTIVITIES CONNECTING JAMAL AND SUPPORT.
JAMAL WAS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH DALLAS COLLEGE MALE INITIATIVE.
ONE OF OUR MANY THRIVING LEFRN ING LEARNING COMMUNITIES.
CREATING SENSE OF BELONGING AND SPECIFIC SERVICES THAT SERVE THOSE POPULATIONS THAT NEED EXTRA CARE.
AND HELP OUR STUDENTS LIKE JAMAL TO PERSEVERE AND GET THROUGH TOUGH TIMES TO RETURN TO A STATE OF THRIVING AS A DALLAS COLLEG STUDENT.
THE DELIVERY OF THESE TYPES OF TRANSFORMATIONAL, HIGH QUALITY SERVICES FOR JAMAL AND 80,000 PLUS STUDENTS DALLAS COLLEGE SERVES, REQUIRES ADEQUATE RESOURS.
I WILL NOW HAPPY PASS THE BAH DON BACK TO DR. JOSEPH WHO WILL SHARE MORE HOW AND WHERE WE ARE REINVESTING IN STUDENT SUCCESS.
>> SO YOU HAVE HEARD THIS MORNING THERE ARE A LOT OF TRANSFORMATIONAL EFFORTS WE ARE ENGAGED IN.
TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEM, WE ARE REINVESTING APPROXIMATELY 10 MILLION DOLLARS IN STUDENT SUCCESS AREAS.
THIS REINVESTMENT OF RESOURCES ALLOWS US TO NEARLY DOUBLE RECRUITMENT TO PROMOTE OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ACROSS THE COUNTY.
DECISION MAKING, WE ARE INVESTING IN A CENTRALIZED STRATEGIC ANALYTICS TEAM THAT GREG MENTIONED EARLIER IN HIS PRESENTATION IS ASSISTING IN PROGRAM REVIEW AND OTHER EFFORTS ACROSS DALLAS COLLEGE.
THESE ARE SOME OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS.
WE ARE EXCITED IF R THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE OUR STUDENTS WITH A RENEWED COMMITMENT TO SERVICE EXCELLENCE TO INSURE WE SUPPORT STUDENT SUCCESS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WITH YOU OUR PLANS AND OUR EFFORTS.
THIS IS THE END OF OUR PRESENTATION.
>> THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION BEATRIZ JOSEPH AND KAREN STILLS.
WE ARE ARCHITECTING THIS COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY THAT WILL ENABLE TOWS BRING SCALE AND CONSISTENCY AND BETTER NAVIGATION TO STUDENT SERVICES.
COULD YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT IS BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU AND JAMAL IN TERMS OF HOW THIS
[01:20:01]
IS MANAGED? STUDENTS ARE STILL SHOWING UP ON CAMPUS? WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE PRESIDENTS AND STUDENT SERVICES? COUPLE OF THOUGHTS, WORDS ON THAT WOULD HELP ME UNDERSTAND ACCOUNTABILITY AND MANAGE ALL THIS.STUDENT SERVICES SIDE, WE WILL HAVE MINIMUM ONE DEAN PER LOCATION.
WE HAVE EIGHT DIFFERENT DEANS ACROSS THE SPECTRUM IN STUDENT SUCCESS.
WE WILL HAVE ONE DEAN ON EACH LOCATION.
SO THAT INDIVIDUAL IS THE ONE THAT WILL HELP NAVIGATE THE WORK OF ALL THE STUDENT SUCCESS STAFF THAT IS LOCATED IN EACH LOCATION, EACH CAMPUS.
IN TERMS OF THE PRECEDENCE ROLE, PART OF THE NEW ROLE AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN CAMPUS CULTURE, RIGHT? INSURING, I COUNT ON THEM TO SAY HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE ARE SEEING, THIS IS WHAT WE SEE WORKING, NOT WORKING.
THIS IS A TEAM EFFORT FOR US TO CONTINUE IMPROVEMENT WE NEED TO BE OPEN TO FEEDBACK.
AND ADDRESSING ANY ISSUES THAT MIGHT COME UP.
THAT IS REALLY CURRENTLY WHAT OUR STRUCTURE LOOKS LIKE.
WE WILL HAVE AS I SAID PRECEDENCE OF ONE DEAN IN THE LOCATION THAT WILL BE THE LIAISON WITH THE REST OF THE TEAM.
DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?
EASTFIELD WILL HAVE A DEAN, AT THE CAMPUS, ALL THE STUDENT SUCCESS COACHES WILL BE REPORTING INTO THAT DEAN? THAT DEAN HAS A ROLE AT THE PARTICULAR CAMPUS LEADERSHIP?
FOR THE SUCCESS COACHES, FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE A DEAN OF SUCCESS COACH HOUSED AT ONE OF OUR LOCATIONS.
UNDERNEATH THAT DEAN 12 ASSOCIATE DEANS.
CONCEPT IS THAT EACH ASSOCIATE DEAN APPROXIMATELY FOR 20 SUCCESS COACHES.
WE DID THAT SO IT COULD BE MANAGEABLE, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO LEVERAGE TECHNOLOGY, SALES FORCE SCORE CARDS AND ACTUAL TRACKING OF THE CASE MANAGEMENT OF A STUDENTS BY HAVING MANAGEABLE TEAMS. SO THOSE 12 ASSOCIATES DEANS REPORT AND THEN THEY REPORT TO ME.
IT IS SIMILAR FOR THE PATHWAY SPECIALIST, LITTLE DIFFERENT.
PATHWAY SPECIALIST TEAM IS -- INCLUDES PATHWAY SPECIALIST CAREER SPECIALIST.
THAT TEAM WORKS IN TANDEM TO LOOK HOW WE ARE CREATING VIABLE PATHWAYS FOR STUDENTS.
MANY TIMES WE HAVE BEGUN TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK FROM PRESIDENTS SAYING HEY, WE HAVE X NUMBER OF JOBS.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR STUDENT WORKERS.
OR WE WOULD LIKE TO CREATE AN INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY WITH YOU.
MY COLLEAGUES FROM WORK FORCE AS WELL AS CONNECTING WITH THE PRESIDENTS MEDULLA OBLONGATA HAVE THOSE INQUIRIES.
WE WORK TOGETHER AND ALIGN THAT WORK WITH THE TEAMS THAT MAKE THE MOST SENSE TO ACTUALLY RESPOND TO THE NEED OF THE COMMUNITY.
>> IS THERE ASSISTANT DEAN, CALL IT DEAN OF POLICE THAT WOULD BE MAKING SURE ALL THE OTHERS ARE DOING THEIR JOB, IN OTHER WORDS, TO ME ALWAYS GOOD WHEN YOU HAVE WITHIN AN ORGANIZATION, WITH THAT MANY PEOPLE, WITH THAT KIND OF LEADERSHIP WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE COMPLIANCE DEAN.
ONE THAT DIDN'T HAVE PLETHORA OF PEOPLE.
WOULD BASICALLY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY OF INSURING THAT ALL THE 250 OR WHATEVER NUMBER IT IS ARE DOING THEIR JOB? THAT WOULD BE THE AUDITOR OF THE TEAM TO BE SURE THEY ARE GETTING IT DONE.
>> LET ME TELL YOU, MY TEAM MIGHT REFER TO ME AS THE POLICE BECAUSE THAT IS MY JOB TO MAKE SURE THE DEAN OF SUCCESS COACHING ENGAGING WITH THOSE ASSOCIATE DEANS.
I THINK EVERY TEAM MEMBER HERE NOW UNDERSTANDS THE WAY WE ARE APPROACHING, WAY
[01:25:19]
WE SERVE STUDENTS IS VERY MUCH RENEWED.WE HAVE A ROLE IN COMPLIANCE FOR OUR STUDENTS.
THAT OWNERSHIP LANDS WITH ME FOR THAT TEAM.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE DELIVERING THAT HIGH QUALITY SERVICE.
THAT COMES WITH REGULAR ALREADY ONGOING MEETINGS DAILY.
WE DON'T HAVE A DISCONNECT WHERE IN THE PAST YOU WERE AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE CLOSE ENGAGEMENT WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE CAMPUS LEVELS.
WE MEET DAILY WITH THE DEANS AND WEEKLY WITH THE ASSOCIATE DEANS.
>> IF THEY USE THE SALES FORCE THE WAY IT IS DESIGNED, IT WILL PROVIDE YOU A TOOL TO TRULY MEASURE THEIR CONNECTIVITY AND EXPOSURE WITH THEIR CLIENTS.
WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THAT, TRUSTEE BOYD, GIVES US A CHANCE TO REWARD TEAM MEMBERS DOING A FANTASTIC JOB AND EVERYTHING WE ASKED THEM BEYOND AND RECOGNIZE THEM FOR THAT.
YES TO HOLD TEAM MEMBERS ACCOUNTABLE NOT PERFORMING AT THE EXPECTED LEVEL AND ADDRESS THEM ACCORDINGLY.
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, FULLY INTEND TO LEVERAGE EVERY PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY TO INSURE OUR STUDENTS HAVE THE EXPERIENCE THEY DESERVE.
>> IF I MIGHT INTERJECT, AT THE POINT BUILDING A BUREAUCRACY.
I AM CONCERNED WE HAVE PEOPLE -- >> YOU BROKE UP JUST A BIT, TRUSTEE ZIMMERMAN.
I WANT TO NOTE WE HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY FLATTENED OUR ORGANIZATION.
WE HAVE REMOVED MULTIPLE LAYERS OF COORDINATORS, DIRECTORS, MANAGERS TO THE MODEL I JUST DESCRIBED.
THAT IS THE FLATTEST THE STUDENT STRUCTURE HAS BEEN.
WE ARE HOPING NOW THAT WE ARE AT THE POINT OF ONBOARDING SUCCESS COACHES WE'LL BE ABLE TO REPORT POSITIVE OUTCOMES THAT WERE HELPFUL TO ACHIEVE.
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATIONS.
CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR UPDATES WE'LL HAVE IN THE COMING MONTHS.
SO I THINK THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO BREAK FOR LUNCH UNLESS ANYONE HAS A STRONG OBJECTION? NOPE.
1:00 HOUR AND COME BACK AT 1:00 AND FINISH UP THE PRESENTATIONS.
PERLA, DO WE NEED TO TAKE A ROLL CALL?
>> FOR JANUARY, 22ND, SECOND PART OF THE DALLAS COLLEGE WORK SESSION.
>> VICE CHAIR RITTER? PRESENT? I SEE HE IS LISTED BUT -- MIGHT HAVE STEPPED AWAY.
>> SHE WAS A PANELIST, MOVED HER TO PANELIST.
[8. 2021 Summer Enrollment Update]
>> I AM PRESENT AND AGAIN I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS BY DESIGN YOU MADE ME ATTENDEE NOT PANELIST AND NO ONE ELSE DID.
>> TRUSTEE RITTER PRESENT? PRESENT?
>> I AM PRESENT, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
>> TRUSTEE ZIMMERMAN, PRESENT?
TRUSTEE COMPTON PRESENT? UNMUTE HER.
[01:30:01]
YOU HAVE MET YOUR QUORUM AND BEGIN THE MEETING.WE WILL CONTINUE WITH 2021 SUMMER ENROLLMENT UPDATE.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WITH YOU UNDER SUMMER ENROLLMENT UPDATE.
THREE AND A HALF MONTES SINCE OUR MOST RECENT ENROLLMENT FOR SPRING.
AND HOW OUR SPIRITS ARE CONTINUED LIFE CHALLENGES.
TODAY FOCUS ON SUMMER ENROLLMENT AND KEY STRATEGIES THAT INFLUENCE OUR STUDENT'S POSSIBILITIES TO RETURN.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY? GREAT THANK YOU DR. JOSEPH.
MY PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE SUMMER ENROLLMENT UPDATE.
I WILL BE JOINED BY WORK FORCE WHO WILL SHARE THE PRESENTATION LATER ON WITHIN THE HOUR.
BEFORE I BEGIN, I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T REFLECT BACK LIKE MANY OF US HAVE TODAY.
LAST YEAR JUST SHY IN DAYS OF CELEBRATING BRANDING OF NEW DALLAS COLLEGE.
THAT WAS AN EXCITING MOMENT FOR US AS A GROUP AND ALSO IN THE CORE OF A CRISIS.
SET THE TONE FOR OUR HEAVIEST IMPACTED AREA AS HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS.
THAT WAS A SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN OUR ENROLLMENT.
TWO WEEKS AGO, NATIONAL STUDENT CLEARINGHOUSE PROVIDED UPDATE ON JUNE 10TH IF WE DIDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE STILL IN LIFE CHALLENGING AND CHALLENGING MOMENTS.
WE NEED TO BE REMINDED COMMUNITIES STILL RISING AND EMERGING.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, I WOULD LIKE TO FOCUS ON DALLAS COLLEGE.
DALLAS COLLEGE LANDSCAPE TELLING US WE ARE STILL IN A STRUGGLE.
CURRENTLY SEEING ENROLLMENT BEHAVIORS AND TRENDS INDICATIVE OF ENCOURAGING CHANGES YET TO COME IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS AND BEING SHOW CASED HERE TODAY.
PREDOMINANTLY FOR OUR ENROLLMENT OVERYOU SHA HIGHLIGHTS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WE WILL ALSO TALK AS WE HAVE IN PREVIOUS ENROLLMENT UPDATES.
FOR THESE AREAS, I'LL SPEND NEXT FEW MINUTES IN SPEAKING AND SHARING STORIES ABOUT EACH ONE OF THE PARTICULAR STUDENT TYPE AND HOW THEIR ENROLLMENTS ARE LIKELY TO INDICATE WHAT WE'LL SEE AS WE TRANSITION FROM SUMMER TO FALL AND NEXT INCOMING ACADEMIC SCHOOL YEAR.
SHOWING SIGNIFICANT GAINS FROM LAST YEAR.
REFLECTED AT THIS TIME APPROXIMATELY 700 STUDENTS WHEREAS LAST YEAR WE HAD 200 STUDENTS.
WE HAVE TO BE MINDFUL LAST YEAR DURING THIS TIME WE KNOW THAT OUR STUDENTS WERE EXPERIENCING TRAUMA INDUCED LIFE CHANGES AND CHALLENGES WHICH TOOK AWAY THEIR UNIQUE STUDENT AND COLLEGE STUDENTS THEY WOULD BE EXPERIENCING AT THIS POINT IN TIME LAST YEAR.
GROUNDED US TO A VERY ISOLATED WAY TO ADJUST TO LIFE AND EXPERIENCE WE HAD.
TODAY WE ARE SEEING THERE IS HOPE IN THESE NUMBERS CURRENTLY REFLECTING THREE TIMES OVER OUR AVERAGE FROM LAST YEAR.
THIS IS INDICATIVE AND ATTRIBUTED TO SUCCESS TEAM.
WE HAVE RETURNED TO FACE TO FACE ENGAGEMENT, SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND COMMUNITIES AND CAMPUSES.
WE ARE SEEING FRUITS OF OUR LABOR.
MORE IMPORTANTLY ONE OF THE POINTS WE ALSO MADE REFERENCE TO AS A TEAM WE WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY IN OUR HISTORICAL DATA.
[01:35:02]
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS EAGER TO RETURN TO NORMALCY AND TRAUMA-INDUCED LIFE EXPERIENCES.WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO INCORPORATE STRATEGIES FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEM TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY.
I WILL SPEAK IN DETAIL TO SOME OF THE SPECIFIC KEY STRATEGIES AS IT RELATES TO SUMMER ENROLLMENT LATER ON IN THE PRESENTATION.
WE ARE USED SEEING THIS PARTICULAR GROUP BE STEADY WITH ENROLLMENTS AND CONTINUALLY GROW OVER TIME.
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO DENOTE TO YOU ALL TODAY THAT THIS SUMMER DALLAS AND GARLAND MADE A CONSCIOUS DECISION IN SUPPORT OF 9TH AND 10TH GRADE STUDENTS.
AND DETERMINE THEIR 9TH AND 10TH GRADE STUDENTS NEEDED A POSZ PAUSE TO BETTER PREPARE THEM FOR FUTURE ENGAGEMENTS AS WELL AS BETTER SUCCESS RATES IN THE UPCOMING TERMS. THAT IS LOOKING AT RESULTS OF WHAT IS TAKING PLACE AND REALLY TO SOME WHAT OF ACCOUNTABILITY ISSUE ON OUR PART AS TO WHAT WE ARE DOING.
ALSO POINTS OUT ONLINE IS NOT A SILVER BULLET FOR EVERYBODY THAT IS THERE.
MANY HAVE ALSO SAID WHAT WE REALLY NEED IS THAT ENGAGED RELATIONSHIP WITH A FACULTY MEMBER ON AN ONGOING BASIS.
I THINK ALL OF THESE CONTRIBUTEED TO THAT DECISION.
BUT I DON'T THINK WE CAN JUST LEAVE IT AT THIS POINT WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
WE REALLY NEED TO UNDERSTAND AND SIFT THROUGH WHAT IS BEHIND IT BECAUSE IT REALLY IS AN ISSUE OF INSURING STUDENTS ARE SUCCESSFUL.
>> JOE, WE DON'T HAVE INDICATION THAT POLICY WILL CONTINUE IN THE FALL SEMESTER, DO WE?
I THINK FOR COUPLE OF REASONS, NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT EITHER FOR IT TO CONTINUE HOUSE BILL 3 FUNDING, THEY NEED TO GET MORE STUDENTS IN COLLEGE BUT THEY NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN COLLEGE.
AND I THINK IT IS THOSE TWO WORKING TOGETHER.
THERE ARE OTHER STRATEGIES WE ARE WORKING IN WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO HELP WITH THAT PROCESS.
I THINK THAT MAY COME UP LATER TODAY AS WELL.
>> AND THE OTHER THING IS WE ARE OFFERING IN-PERSON CLASSES MORE IN-PERSON CLASSES IN THE FALL.
TRADITIONALLY MOST OF THE EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL AND P TECH STUDENTS HAVE
[01:40:02]
TAKEN IN-PERSON CLASSES.THE SUCCESS RATES SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER AND SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN ALL OVER STUDENTS AS WELL.
THEY ARE HOPING TO RETURN TO THOSE LEVELS OF SUCCESS.
IN ADDITION TO WHAT CHANCELLOR MAY INDICATED AND ANNA SHARED WITH US, SOME OTHER EFFORTS TAKING PLACE ARE THE DEPLOYMENT OF DUAL CREDIT FACILITATORS.
THEY WILL HELP TO NAVIGATE AND SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS AS WELL AS FACULTY MEMBERS AS EACH OF THESE TEAM MEMBERS ARE EMBRACING THIS COLLEGE KNOWLEDGE EXPERIENCE WHETHER IT BE BY GOING THROUGH THE ACTUAL EXPERIENCE OR ACCUSTOM TO THE CURRICULUM.
DUAL CREDIT FACILITATORS PARAMOUNT THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THESE PROGRAMS. INFORMATION OUR TEAMS ARE FACILITATING SUMMER BRIDGE PROGRAMS WHICH ARE HELPING NAVIGATE TRANSITION FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO COLLEGE LIFE AND A PART OF THIS PROGRAMMING.
THOSE ARE TWO IMPORTANT AREAS TO DENOTE AS A PART OF EFFORTS ACCORDING TO NEEDS AND TIMELINE AS WE SUPPORT THEM.
YOU DESCRIBED JOB POSITION, DUAL CREDIT FACILITATOR.
PERSONNEL WORKING ON K-12 CAMPUS.
EXPLAIN HOW EXACTLY IT IS AND HOW IT RELATED TO NAVIGATOR ROLE?
>> SCHOOL DISTRICTS COMMITTED TO THE SUCCESS BY USING EMPLOYEES AS FACILITATORS TO ASSIST THE STUDENTS IN FOLLOWING THE GUIDELINES SET FORTH BY THE FACULTY, DEADLINES THAT THE COURSE HAS, MAKING SURE THEY ARE ON TRACK FOR COMPLETION OF THE COURSE.
SO THESE ARE HIGH SCHOOL EMPLOYEES THAT ARE TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS WHO WORK WITH OUR FACULTY TO INSURE SUCCESS OF STUDENTS IN THE COURSE.
THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE E CAMPUS SHELLS SO THEY CAN SEE IN THE ONLINE COURSES HOW THEY ARE DOING.
THEY CAN MONITOR THEIR PROGRESS AND GRADES.
IT IS A JOINT EFFORT BETWEEN OUR FACULTY AND FACILITATORS FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL.
>> THANKS ANNA, APPRECIATE IT.
THANK YOU, TRUSTEE RITTER FOR THE QUESTION.
MOVING ON TO ADULT LEARNERS, NOW ON RETURNING STUDENTS.
RETURNING STUDENTS MOST F US MAY KNOW.
RESEARCH INDICATED DEFINED AS INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE 25 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER.
FOR DALLAS COLLEGE, AVERAGE AGE IS 26.
OUR RETURNING STUDENTS STILL DEMONSTRATING DECLINE IN ENROLLMENT AND HAVE BEEN DOING SO PREPANDEMIC.
THINGS HAPPENING WITH OUR STUDENTS CONTINUE TO HAPPEN TODAY.
VERY MUCH LIFE CHALLENGES THAT OCCURRED IN THE LAST YEAR AND WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR OVER TIME AS WE GRADUALLY ASSIST STUDENTS TO GET TUNTS WITHIN COLLEGE AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
AS WE REFLECT FURTHER ON TRUE PATHWAYS.
I WANTED TO SHARE SOME STUDENT STORIES COMING FROM OUR RETURNING STUDENTS.
RECURRING THEME ABOUT JOB LOSS AND OVERWHELMING COMMITMENTS TO JOB LOSSES.
TO ADDRESS SOME OF THEIR BARRIERS BY WAY OF OUR DIFFERENT SERVICE PROVISIONS PARTICULARLY IN THE AREAS OVERSEES BASIC NEEDS TALK MORE ABOUT THE CARES ACT.
STILL HAVING TROUBLE HAVING TO MAKE DECISIONS IN THEIR PERSONAL LIVES.
SPECIFICALLY WE HAD ONE STUDENT SAID THEY ARE STILL OUT OF WORK AND NAVIGATE THEIR PARTICULAR LIFE STYLE AND NEEDS OF THEIR FAMILY AND INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.
WE HAD ANOTHER STUDENT FURLOUGHED.
SHE INDICATED EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS FURLOUGHED SHE TOOK SIGNIFICANT PAYDAY LOANS AND COME WITH A HIGH INTEREST AND OVERWHELMED WITH THOSE RESPONSIBILITIES AS A SINGLE MOM MOVING FORWARD AND TRYING TO MAKE BALANCE BETWEEN LIFE, WORK
[01:45:07]
AND ACADEMICS.WE WANT TO BE MINDFUL OF THE FACT WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS OUR ADULT LEARNERS ARE STILL STRUGGLING AND DOING THOSE THINGS.
IT IS GOING TO TAKE TIME TO FIND BALANCE PERSONALLY AND GET THEM BACK INTO COLLEGE.
>> COULD I ASK A QUESTION, PLEASE, TRUSTEE BOYD.
>> ONE OF THE BIGGEST QUESTIONS I GET FROM PEOPLE OUT IN MY AREA, WHAT FINANCIAL AIDS ARE AVAILABLE TODAY FOR THAT -- THIS POPULATION OF PEOPLE?
>> THAT IS A VERY GOOD QUESTION, TRUSTEE BOYD.
FINANCIAL AID VARIES BASED ON CERTAIN QUALIFICATIONS FOR STUDENTS.
FINANCIAL AID AVAILABLE TO OUR STUDENTS.
THEY CERTAINLY HAVE TO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA TO BE AWARDED FINANCIAL AID DEPENDING ON PARTICULAR SITUATIONS.
NOW, BECAUSE FINANCIAL AID IS CRITERIA BASED, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEM WITH SCHOLARSHIPS, FOUNDATION FUNDS, AS WELL AS IN THIS MOMENT AS YOU KNOW OUR CARE ACT FUNDS.
I AM HAPPY TO HAVE EXTENDED CONVERSATION OFFLINE TO SHARE WITH YOU THE COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL AID OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL OUR STUDENTS IF THAT WOULD BE OKAY.
>> LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST, FOR EXAMPLE, NOW THAT IT HAS BECOME PEOPLE HAVE BECOME AWARE I AM NOW ONE OF THE TRUSTEES.
I PROBABLY GET DAILY CALLS FROM FAMILIES THAT SAY WE ARE GOING TO SCHOOL HERE, GREAT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM AND ALL THAT.
PERLA HAS BEEN SUPERIOR TO HELP ME AS I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS.
I AM GOING TO SUGGEST WE INVEST MONEYS WE HAVE A NUMBER.
PEOPLE CAN CALL AND GET A LIVE PERSON AND DIRECT THEM.
THAT IS SOMETHING I CAN'T KEEP DOING AGAIN WE NEED TO HAVE SOMEONE FRIENDLY.
I REALIZE AUTOMATION IS FANTASTIC.
WE CAN DO THAT ON OUR VERY FIRST TOUCH.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS POSSIBLE.
>> OF COURSE, TRUSTEE BOYD, EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU OUR CASE MANAGEMENT EFFORTS DON'T RESIDE WITH ADVISING BUT ALSO FINANCIAL AID.
ONE OF THE STRATEGIES WE ARE MAKING SURE WE ARE INTENTIONAL ABOUT.
WE ARE MOVING ENGAGE OUR STUDENTS MORE FLUIDLY.
NO LONGER STUDENTS CALLING US, WE WANT TO GET AHEAD AND CALL THEM.
WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THOSE ELEMENTS TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THAT WARM TOUCH AND THOSE INDIVIDUALS.
I DEFINITELY WILL FOLLOW BACK UP WITH YOU AS IT RELATES TO HOW WE ARE GETTING AWAY FROM JUST BEING STRICTLY AUTOMATED TO ANSWERING THE QUESTION AT GO.
I CERTAINLY WILL COMMIT TO FOLLOWING UP WITH YOU AS IT RELATES TO THE PROGRAMMING.
>> DR. PIERCE, IF I MAY, WE ARE WORKING ON HAVING A CALL CENTER, YOU WILL SEE IN THE BUDGET PRESENTATIONS TOMORROW.
INTENT IS FOR US TO HAVE A CALL CENTER TO ADDRESS WHAT YOU JUST MENTIONED.
STUDENTS HAVE ONE NUMBER, ONE PLACE WHERE THEY CAN GO AND QUESTIONS CAN BE ANSWERED.
[01:50:01]
OUR TRANSFER INSTUDENTS ARE DEMOGRAPHICALLY WITHIN OUR ADULT POPULATION.
YOU'LL NOTE ALL THOUGH THEIR AVERAGE AGE IS 23, LITTLE LOWER THAN AVERAGE AGE NATIONALLY AND AVERAGE AGE OF RETURNING STUDENTS STILL CATEGORICALLY ADULT LEARNERS.
STUDENTS HAVE NEVER ENGAGED DALLAS COLLEGE BUT WOULD BE COMING TO US WITH PREVIOUS HIGHER EDUCATION CREDIT.
IN DOING SO, THEY WOULD BE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE COMING TO DALLAS COLLEGE ON -- FOR ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.
SO IT IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE TRYING TO INFER WITH OUR TRANSFER IN POPULATION, THEY ARE AS ADULT LEARNERS EXPERIENCING SAME DYNAMICS WITH THE RETURNING POPULATION.
LIFE CHALLENGES, STILL TRYING TO SEEK OUT TO FIND THE BALANCE BETWEEN THOSE.
WE ARE BEING AS RESPONSIVE AS WE CAN AS IT RELATES TO SPECIALIZED CAMPAIGNS AND INTERVENTIONS TO SUPPORT TRANSFER IN STUDENTS.
FOR PURPOSES OF OUR PRESENTATION TODAY.
WE IDENTIFIED KEY INTERVENTIONS AND CAMPAIGNS WE WANT TO SHOW CASE WITH YOU THAT ARE DIRECTLY IMPACTED OUR STUDENTS RIGHT NOW HERE AND TODAY.
AND WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT STUDENTS IN WHICH THIS PROGRAMMING IS OFFERED AND SOMETHING SIMILAR TO INCENTIVIZE STUDENTS.
I WILL SPEAK TO STUDENT SUCCESS AND MARKETING COLLABORATIONS.
LASTLY COLLEAGUES FROM ACADEMICS AND WORK FORCE THROUGH TRUE PATHWAYS AND A BRIEF OVERVIEW, EXTENSION OF WHAT YOU MIGHT KNOW AS WELL AS TALK ABOUT TEXAS COLLEGE BRIDGE SUMMER PROGRAM.
OUR FIRST JOB OPPORTUNITY PERHAPS ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING THING THAT IS HAS HAPPENED FOR OUR STUDENTS.
FRESH START WAS MADE OF REALITY.
STUDENT GRADUATED FROM ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL 1983.
FOR LIFE REASONS HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO COMPLETE HER COLLEGE EDUCATION.
THAT SHOW CASED HER APPRECIATION FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO ASSIST HER WITH HER FINANCIAL BARRIERS TO GET HER BACK INTO SCHOOL.
THESE FUNDS PROVIDED HER TO DO THE VERY THING THAT WE ASPIRE OUR STUDENTS TO DO, WALK ACROSS THE STAGE.
MISS FULLER WILL WALK ACROSS THE STAGE AS A RESULT OF OPPORTUNITIES PROVIDED TO HER THROUGH OUR CARES ACT FUNDING.
FIRST START PROVIDED 13,700 STUDENTS.
FIRST 13,700 STUDENTS TO HAVE BALANCES CLEARED.
ANY BALANCES SPRING 2020 AND SUMMER 2020 AS WELL AS SPRING OF 2021 QUALIFIED TO HAVE BALANCES CLEARED OUT AS THEY WERE OWED TO THE INSTITUTION.
RESULT OF CLEARING BALANCES, TO DATE, EXCUSE ME, 1,700 STUDENTS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REENROLL.
THAT NUMBER JUMPED 100 ADDITIONAL STUDENTS THIS MORNING.
WE ARE EXCITED TO EMPLOY SIX MILLION DOLLARS TO CLEAR THESE BALANCES FOR OUR STUDENTS.
>> LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION: YOU HAVE A NUMBER OF 13,000, OPPORTUNITY.
HOW ARE YOU IDENTIFYING THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CANDIDATES FOR THIS PROGRAM?
[01:55:04]
>> THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION, TRUSTEE BOYD.
CRITERIA IN ORDER TO QUALIFY TO HAVE THE BALANCES CLEARED.
YOU HAD TO HAVE HAD A BALANCE WITH THE INSTITUTION FROM LAST SPRING OF 2020 THROUGH THIS POINT.
WE QUERIED STUDENTS WHO HAD BALANCES SPRING 2020, SUMMER 2020.
SPRING 2021, PULLED THAT LISTING AND ABLE TO CLEAR THE BALANCES.
WE WORKED TO IDENTIFY THOSE STUDENTS.
>> WERE WE ABLE TO USE THE CARES FUNDS TO PAY THE BALANCES?
THAT REPRESENTED HOW MUCH MONEY?
>> SIX MILLION DOLLARS, FOUR MILLION APPLIED 2020.
REMAINING BALANCE ONE MILLION APPLIED LAST SPRING TERM.
TRULY A CLEAN START, RIGHT? THAT IS GREAT.
I AM GLAD TO KNOW WE ARE USING THE MONEY FOR STUFF LIKE THAT.
THERE IS NOTHING, BEST CUSTOMER YOU GOT IS THE ONE YOU ALREADY GOT.
IF WE ALREADY HAVE A STUDENT, AND WE ARE ABLE TO REMOVE OBSTACLES, I APPLAUD Y'ALL FOR THAT EXERCISE.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, TRUSTEE BOYD.
TRUSTEE FLORES, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? STUDENT SUCCESS ACADEMIC AFFAIRS, MARKETING, INFORMATIONAL TECHNOLOGY.
INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH ALL A PART OF THESE MARKETING COLLABORATIONS WE COULD NOT DO THIS WITHOUT THEM.
IN TERMS OF OUR MARKETING COLLABORATIONS THE WAY WE ARE STRATEGICALLY PLACING EMPHASIS ON OUR GEOGRAPHICAL AREA ACROSS DALLAS COUNTY.
ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE DOING IS GEO FENCING EFFORTS.
FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR, IT IS THE VIRTUAL PERIMETER WE HAVE DIGITALLY WHERE WE SECURE INFORMATION BY HAVING THE ABILITY TO CREATE A RADIUS OF SPECIFIC LOCATIONS.
TAKE FOR EXAMPLE, ONE OF OUR DECLINING ZIP CODES RECURRING.
THAT IS IN GARLAND-RICHARDSON AREA.
ONE OF THE TOP THREE RECURRING ZIP CODES.
ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE DOING IS ALIGNING THOSE DIGITAL ADS WITH INFORMATION FOR OUR STUDENTS VIA TECHNOLOGY THAT ALLOWS US TO SHOW CASE PROGRAMS OF STUDY AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES RELATED TO PROGRAMS OF STUDY IN THAT AREA AND HOW WE CAN HELP STUDENTS BE ABLE TO ENGAGE IN ACADEMICS TO GET THEM INTO THE EMPLOYMENT SECTOR.
TAKE FOR EXAMPLE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE MOST RECENTLY, WORKING IN COLLABORATION WITH WORK FORCE AREA CRETE CREATES ENVIRONMENTAL SCANS.
LARGEST INDUSTRY IS HEALTH CARE AREAS.
WE WILL PROACTIVELY ENGAGE THROUGH GEO FENCING AND PROVIDE HEALTH CARE OCCUPATION INFORMATION AND LINK IT TO MAJOR EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITYS IN THAT AREA.
MOST OF US MIGHT KNOW IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA, NOTEWORTHY EMPLOYERS METHODIST HOSPITAL, RICHARDSON AREA AS WELL AS MEDICAL CITY.
THE DALLAS COMPONENT OF THAT HOSPITAL GROUP IN THAT AREA.
THOSE ARE NOTABLE EMPLOYERS IN THE HEALTH CARE REALM.
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW AND US TO BE INTENTIONAL BY USING LABOR MARKETING DATA THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL SCANS AND FOCUSSING ON THE JOB MARKET TO HELP OUR STUDENTS MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS AS IT RELATES TO EMPLOYERS AND
[02:00:07]
RESPECTIVE AREAS.>> DO YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY, FOR EXAMPLE AREA, IT IS A VERT L MARKET FOR NEXT STEP PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BECOME CNA OR A NURSE.
DO WE HAVE A MARKET WE CAN MARKET THOSE PEOPLE FOR CLASSES ALLOW THEM TO MOVE UP IN PAY SCALE AND PART OF THEIR CAREER?
>> OF COURSE TRUSTEE BOYD, AGAIN ALWAYS A WAY.
I RECALL ONE OF THE MARKETING STRATEGIES YOU HAD REQUESTED FROM US IN THE PAST WAS ADVERTISING IN THE BALL PACK.
YOU HAVE SEEN THAT IN A PRIOR SLIDE.
PERLA, CAN YOU GO BACK ONE SLIDE? YOU'LL NOTICE VERY FIRST AREA SHOWS, VERY FIRST COUPE SHOWS DALLAS COLLEGE.EDU/VALPAK.
WE CAN WORK WITH EMPLOYERS TO MARKET THEIR INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATE WITH OUR STUDENTS AS TO AVAILABILITY OF THEIR EMPLOYMENT.
SO WE CAN HAVE A BETTER AND STRONGER RELATIONSHIP WITH BUSINESS PARTNERS AS ONE OF OUR STRATEGIES.
WE HAVE HEARD A NUMBER OF TIMES ABOUT TRUE PATHWAYS EFFORTS.
THESE ARE BEING SHOW CASED GLORIA SMITH AND SPEAK -- AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO TRANSITION PRESENTATION TO GLORIA.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE A LITTLE MORE ABOUT OUR TRUE PATHWAYSWORK AND THE INITIATIVE AS A WHOLE.
SO AS A RESULT OF THE COVID-19 NATIONAL CRISIS, MILLIONS OF TEXANS FILED FOR UNEMPLOYMENT.
BECAUSE COMMUNITY COLLEGES CURRENTLY PROVIDE MORE THAN 90% OF CREDIT AND CAREER TECHNICAL CREDENTIALS.
THEY ARE POSITION D TO CLOSE THE SKILLS GAPS TO GOOD PAYING JOBS.
SO THE TEXAS RESKILLING AND UP SKILLS THROUGH EDUCATION WHICH I AM GOING TO REFER AS TRUE ACTUALLY EVOLVED HERE AT DALLAS COLLEGE.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC WE BEGAN WORKING WITH OUR PAR PARTNERS IN DALLAS TO IDENTIFY AND CREATE A COLLECTIVE IMPACT PARTNERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE PIPELINE NEEDS HERE IN THE DFW REGION.
THIS MODEL PRESENTED TO STATE LEADERS AND ACTUALLY LOOKED UPON AS A FAVORABLE OPTION, VIABLE OPTION SCALED ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS TO ADDRESS THE TEXAS WORK FORCE PIPELINE DEVELOPMENT NEEDS.
THIS SEEKS TO ACCELERATE TRANSITION TO WORK ALSO BUILDING AND ENDURING EDUCATION INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT A THRIVING ECONOMY THROUGHOUT DIVERSE REGIONS OF THE STATE.
WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH OUR LOCAL BUSINESS PARTNERS HERE IN THE DFW REGION AND OTHER AREAS OF THE COMMUNITY TO BOLSTER THIS PIPELINE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY.
FOCUS IS TO STIMULATE ECONOMIC RECOVERY.
AND WITH THAT, THIS ENDEAVOR WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT COST ASSOCIATED WITH IT.
THIS WILL PROVIDE US WITH EFFORT WE NEED TO SERVE DIVERSE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS
[02:05:09]
AND GET THEM TO CREDENTIALS THEY NEED TO GET INTO THE WORK FORCE IMMEDIATELY WHICH WILL HELP MEET DEMANDS OF THE EMPLOYERS AND BUSINESSES IN THE INDUSTRY.AND ALSO HELP THEM MOVE INTO CAREER PATHWAYS THAT LEAD TO SUSTAINABLE LIVING WAGES.
WE ARE LEVERAGING FUNDING WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO US THROUGH ADULT EDUCATION AND LITERACY GRANT.
ALL OF THOSE ARE FUNDED AS WELL AS INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES ONE FORCE WINDS GRANT IT IS A 10 MILLION DOLLAR FOUR-YEAR GRANT AWARD DALLAS COLLEGE LEADS AND ONLY GRANT FUNDED OF THIS TYPE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.
THESE OPPORTUNITIES WILL HELP US COVER EVERYTHING FROM TUITION, TEXTBOOKS, CREDENTIALS RELATED TO THE INDUSTRY PARTNERS LOOKING FOR.
ALSO TO WORK WITH EMPLOYERS TO IDENTIFY EXPERIENCE OF LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES THAT WILL ALLOW STUDENTS TO EARN AND LEARN WHILE THEY ARE IN THE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE AND BE PAID WAGES TO DO THAT.
WHILE THESE PATHWAYS DO BEGIN ON THE CONTINUING EDUCATION SIDE, ACADEMIC AND WORK FORCE HAVE CREATED CLEARLY DEFINED PATHWAYS.
WITH THAT I WILL CALL UPON ANY COLLEAGUE DR. TRAN TO HIGHLIGHT ONE OF THE PATHWAYS WE CREATED.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON, CHANCELLOR MAY AND TRUSTEES, IT IS MY EXAMPLE FOR LOGISTICS TECHNICIAN.
I'LL DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE GRAY BOXES THAT SHOW THE OCCUPATIONS OUR STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO WORK IN ONCE THEY COMPLETE EACH LEVEL.
INDUSTRIAL TRUCK AND TRACTOR OPERATORS WITH THE MEDIAN SALARY.
8551 JOB POSTINGS FOR THAT OCCUPATION ALONE.
NEXT LEVEL OF OUR LEVEL 1 CERTIFICATE THOSE STUDENTS WOULD BE ABLE TO WORK AS FIRST LINE SUPERVISOR.
THERE WERE 3,000 JOB POSTINGS IN THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH AREA.
AND AIS TRANSPORTATION AND STORE MANAGERS, 3,000 JOBS IN THE PAST YEAR.
AS YOU CAN SEE GLORIA HAS SHARED THESE ARE HIGH DEMAND JOBS THAT AS SOON AS WE CAN PRODUCE AND TRAIN THEM, THERE WILL BE JOBS AVAILABLE IN THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH AREA AND PLAYING OUR ROLE IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH REGION.
I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW FEATURE.
THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW.
ONE PARTICULAR FACTOR I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, WE HAVE EMBEDDED INDUSTRY RECOGNIZED CREDENTIALS.
CERTIFIED FORKLIFT CERTIFICATION AS WELL AS TECHNICIAN, ALL OF WHICH STUDENTS WILL EARN AS THEY ARE COMPLETING THEIR COURSE WORK AND SITTING FOR THESE NATIONAL EXAMS. NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED CREDENTIALS STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO EARN.
ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT FEATURE DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY.
CURRENTLY A STUDENT WILL PURSUE A LEVEL 1 CERTIFICATE AAS PART TIME AND WORKING AT THE SAME TIME, MAY TAKE UP TO TWO OR FOUR YEARS BEFORE THEY CAN EARN THEIR CREDENTIAL WHERE THEY CAN APPLY FOR THE JOB.
FIRST TRACK OF FAST TRAS CONTINUING EDUCATION.
IF THE STUDENT COMPLETES THAT AND CAN DO IT IN 16 WEEKS OR LESS, THEN THEY
[02:10:03]
WILL BE ABLE TO BE EMPLOYABLE.AND SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS A DIFFERENCE IN WHAT WE HAVE DESIGNED WITH TWO PATHWAYS.
ACCELERATED TRAINING LEADS TO THESE WELL PAYING JOBS.
ANOTHER FEATURE, IF YOU'LL FOLLOW THAT ARROW TO THE RIGHT, SECOND BLOCK.
WE DESIGNED THOSE CLASSES SO THAT THEY CAN ARTICULATE, EQUATE TO CREDIT BEARING COURSES.
A STUDENT CAN THEN ENROLL ROLL IN A CO-OP CLASS WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE EVERYTHING IN THE FIRST COLUMN AND AWARD CREDIT TO EARN A LEVEL 1 CERTIFICATE IN LOGISTICS TECHNICIAN WITH DALLAS COLLEGE.
PROVIDES STACKABLE CREDENTIAL AND STUDENT COULD CONTINUE ON THEN TO APPLY CREDITS TO ASSOCIATES IN APPLIED SCIENCE ONCE THEY ARE STILL WORKING.
MANY EMPLOYERS WILL REIMBURSE TUITION FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES AND PROVIDE THAT SUPPORT.
BY DESIGN, WE HAVE CREATED THIS TRUE PATHWAYS THOSE ARE THE FEATURES I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT FOR YOU.
THEN ALSO SHARE WITH YOU? WHERE ARE WE PROVIDING THIS TANING I REFERRED YOU TO? WE WANTED TO MEET NEEDS OF UNDERREPRESENTED POPULATIONS.
PURPOSELY WORKING ON RENOVATING, UPGRADING.
CITY SQUARE, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PEPSICO.
AS WELL AS GARLAND CENTER MANUFACTURING HUB.
THESE ARE ALL LOCATIONS DELIVERING THIS PROGRAM AS WELL AS OUR ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION.
WORKING ON TRUE PATHWAYS AS WELL AS HEALTH CARE SPACE AND BUSINESS AS WELL.
I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
I KNOW THAT WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION.
I HOPE THAT WAS INSIGHTFUL FOR YOU.
>> ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION ON THAT VERONIQUE TRAN, AND GLORIA SMITH, THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT WORK.
OTHERWISE WOULD NOT BE PURSUING POST SECONDARY EDUCATION.
THIS IS THE KEY TO MAKING IT HAPPEN.
THE FACT THAT YOU SEE FAST TRACK, THAT REFERENCES THE FACT THESE ARE NOT CREDIT BEARING COURSES.
MEANING WHEN WE SHOW ENROLLMENT NUMBERS THESE ARE NOT TRACKED BY THE HIGHER EDUCATION COORDINATING BOARD YET ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL FOR OUR EMPLOYERS.
THIS IS ONE OF THE DISCONNECTS THAT OCCURRED TODAY IN THE STATE WHERE HIGHER EDUCATION POLICY IS NOT ALIGNING WHEN WE LOOK AT WHAT INDIVIDUALS NEED TO GET THEIR JOBS OUT THERE.
I WANTED THE BOARD TO BE AWARE FIRST PART OF THESE COLUMNS AREN'T GOING TO SHOW UP EVEN THOUGH WE ARE GENERATING LARGE NUMBER OF STUDENTS RESPONDING TO THIS.
AND WE ARE PUTTING THEM TO WORK.
WE'LL SEE THEM ENROLL IN THE STACKABLE PORTION OF CERTIFICATES.
THIS IS A CRITICAL STRATEGY GOING FORWARD IN TERMS OF WHAT WE ARE DOING.
WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD THAT.
>> CHANCELLOR, COULD YOU PLEASE REMIND US, DID WE HAVE A BILL OR DO ANYTHING ON THE LEGISLATIVE SIDE TO TRY TO GET THEM TO INCLUDE OUR CE NUMBERS?
[02:15:54]
COMPLETIONS AND THE DATA ON SUCCESS POINTS?>> TWO PIECES OF POSITIVE NEWS, ONE NEGATIVE.
IN THAT BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE LEGISLATURE HANDLED THE FUNDING, VIRTUAL ZERO RECOGNITION ON SUCCESS POINTS OR ENROLLMENT SOYED OF THIS YEAR'S BUDGET.
[02:20:29]
IF THERE WERE PIECE OF LEGISLATION PASSED CALLED THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE FINANCE STUDY COMMISSION.TO LOOK SPECIFICALLY AT THE ROLE OF COMMUNITY COLLEGES, THE WAY THAT REVENUE FLOWS FROM STATE AND HOW ALIGNING WITH THE WORK FORCE NEEDS OF THE STATE.
AND A REPORT FOR THE 88TH LEGISLATIVE.
SECONDLY, UNDERSTANDS THIS ISSUE AND UPGRADING THE DATA SYSTEMS AT THE COURT.
[02:25:21]
RIGHT NOW, THERE IS NO WAY TO TRACK THIS INFORMATION OR REPORT IT OUT.NO FORMER REQUIREMENT OF THAT.
SO THE BILL AND LINDA GATES FOUNDATION HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING THIS EFFORT TO MAKE THAT POSSIBLE.
COMMISSIONER KELLER TELLS ME THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING COME THIS SPRING I MADE IT CLEAR WE ARE AVAILABLE TO HELP TEST THAT AND LOOK HOW WE CAN TRACK IS THIS
[02:30:52]
INFORMATION.ALSO WORK COLLABORATIVELY BETWEEN TEXAS WORK FORCE.
DIDN'T MENTION IT HERE, KEY TO OUR STRATEGY OR APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS. I BELIEVE 60 MILLION DOLLARS IN GRANTS.
NONE ARE TRACKED BY WORK FORCE MISSION OR COORDINATING BOARD.
THAT IS ANOTHER STRATEGIC COMPONENT WE ARE INVESTING.
WE ARE WATCHING FOR STUDENTS, FOR EMPLOYERS AND OUR COMMUNITY.
[9. Community Engagement: Solving Problems]
[02:35:15]
IN MANY CASES WE ARE WORKING AGAINST THE FUNDING MODELS CREATED 50-60 YEARS AGO THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED IN ORDER TO MEET THE NEEDS OF TODAY'S NEEDS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.>> WHAT IS -- AT WHAT POINT TODAY OR TOMORROW WILL WE TALK ABOUT INNOVATION? I KNOW THESE ARE THINGS HERE TODAY.
THE CONTRIBUTION, INNOVATION WORLD WILL BRING TO OUR CLASSROOM?
>> WE PROBABLY SHOUFR HIT THAT A LITTLE HARDER THIS MORNING WHEN GREG MORRIS AND SHAWNDA WERE TALKING.
LOOKING AT THAT, INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO THAT.
I WOULD SAY WHAT YOU ARE SOOI SEEING HERE ON THIS SCREEN IS ONE OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE APPROACHES RIGHT NOW IN TEXAS.
I THINK WE HAVE THIS GOING ON ACROSS OUR AREAS THE GOAL IS TO PUSH THAT MORE INTO THE CLASSROOM INTO HOW WE ARE DIRECTLY ENGAGING STUDENTS AS WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS IN THE FUTURE.
IT IS NOT A -- VERY OFTEN WE REFER TO THAT ON THE IT SIDE.
BUT THE TRUTH IS, THAT IS PART OF OUR SCHOOL OF DESIGN AND EXPECTATION OF ALL OF US TO BE LOOKING AT HOW WE RESPOND TO THAT.
PROBABLY NOT A SIMPLE ANSWER TRUSTEE BOYD.
WE ARE SEEING AN EXAMPLE OF THAT AT WORK.
>> CLOSEST TO SOME OF THE STUFF THAT WE DO.
I KNOW WE HAVE SOME RELATIONSHIP WITH TOYOTA.
TOYOTA MOTORS PROBABLY JUST BECAUSE OF THE FACT THEY ARE 10-11 YEARS AHEAD OF MOST PEOPLE.
DOESN'T MEAN THEY WILL STAY AHEAD.
BASICALLY BEING ABLE TO TAKE A PROGRAM LIKE YOU HAVE FOR FORKLIFTS AND TRUCKS AND STUFF.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE A SOLUTION PEOPLE LOOK FOR.
>> YES, I CAN ADDRESS THAT WITH A COUPLE OF POINTS: ONE IS OUR INDUSTRY ADVISORY BOARDS AND PARTNERS KEEP US ABREAST OF THE EMERGING TRENDS.
IN THE AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY AREAS, WE HAVE STRONG PARTNERSHIPS AND PROGRAMS WITH OUR FORD ASSET PROGRAM.
BY VIRTUE OF KEEPING UP, WE ARE INCORPORATING THE CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY EACH YEAR.
WE ARE KEEPING ABREAST OF THAT.
IN ADDITION THROUGH COMPRESSION, PLANNING, STRATEGY, STRATEGIC PLANNING.
WE ARE ENGAGED WITH AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES >> TELL THEM WE ARE GOING TO BE AND WILL BE.
JUST SAY YOU DON'T KNOW, WE ARE YOUR PROVIDER FOR YOUR WORK FORCE.
TELL US WHEN YOU WANT US TO START.
I THINK WE HAVE TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE LIKE THAT.
I THINK IT IS AN OBLIGATION OF THE BOARD.
I THINK THE TRUSTEES HAVE TO LOOK DEEP IN ALL THEIR RELATIONSHIPS.
I WANT TO REACH FURTHER IN THE FUTURE CONTRIBUTION.
WE'LL TRY TO HELP WITH TOMORROW.
I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW WE CAN PLUG IN TO WHERE Y'ALL ARE.
SO THAT WE ARE SUPPORTED AND NOT CAUSING ANY KIND OF DRAG ON WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
I THINK WE HAVE TO AXEL BRAT INTO THAT AREA.
>> TRUSTEE BOYD, THAT IS PART OF THAT PRESENTATION IF I CAN ADD.
DR. MAY RIGHT IN INDICATING THIS LAYS IT OUT.
THIS IS THE FORMAT ONE COLLEGE ALLOWING US TO BE RESPONSIVE IMMEDIATELY TO COMMUNITY, CORPORATE PARTNERS NEEDS OF ISD.
WE ARE ABLE TO INTEGRATE LABOR MARKET.
GO DIRECTLY WITH WHAT PYEPER WILKINS IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT.
THREADING IT ALL THE WAY FROM NON CREDIT INDICATED ON TRUE PATHWAYS SIDE ALL THE WAY TO ASSOCIATES DEGREE IF THAT IS WHAT THE STUDENT WANTS.
THIS HAS BEEN GREAT WORK TO GET THIS OUTLINED HERE.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PIECE PYEPER IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT NEXT IS HOW WE ARE GOING TO REACH OUT ABOUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO BE IMMEDIATELY RESPONSIVE TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE.
THINGS FOR EXAMPLE, THAT I AM TALKING ABOUT, TOO.
FOR EXAMPLE, I KNOW IN THE CITY OF ARLINGTON, DRIVERLESS VEHICLES.
WOULDN'T IT BE DYNAMIC IF OUR PARADE CARS WE USE, PROMOTIONAL CARS, WE COULD
[02:40:02]
DRIVE TO HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUSES WRAPPED IN DALLAS COLLEGE WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO WORK IN ONE OF THOSE WHEN YOU GRADUATE? I AM TALKING ABOUT GETTING THAT KIND OF ACTIVITY AND STIRRING UP THE EMOTIONS OF THE KIDS FOR THE RIGHT REASONS.I KNOW I SOUND CRAZY SOMETIMES.
I WANT ONE OF THOSE VEHICLES AND HAVE OUR NAME ON IT.
I WANT PEOPLE TO SAY I AM GOING TO WORK ON THAT ONE DAY.
>> TRUSTEE BOYD, I WOULD LIKE TO BE A PART OF THAT CAR RIDE AND THAT CONVERSATION.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT, DR. FLOYD, TRUSTEE MAY.
I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD.
DR. TRAN, WOULD THAT BE OKAY? THANK YOU SO MUCH.
LASTLY, BUT NOT LEAST I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE ROOM FOR ANNA MAYS TO SPEAK TO OUR COLLEGE BRIDGE PROGRAM.
I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND THE BOARD, THIS FOCUSES ON FIRST TIME COLLEGE STUDENTS AND INCREDIBLY HELPFUL.
IN ORDER TO FACILITATE TRANSITION FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO COLLEGE AND EXPERIENCE DURING THE PANDEMIC DALLAS COLLEGE HAS BEEN WORKING TO IDENTIFY A BRIDGE PROGRAM THAT IMPROVES SUCCESS IN COLLEGE LEVEL ENGLISH AND MATH COURSES WHICH ARE FOUNDATIONAL TO COLLEGE SUCCESS.
DALLAS COLLEGE PROVIDED STATE LEADERSHIP IN WORKING WITH TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY, TEXAS HIGHER EDUCATION COORDINATING BOARD AND DALLAS COLLEGE PROMISED TO IMPLEMENT TEXAS COLLEGE BRIDGE PROGRAM LAST SUMMER.
TEXAS COLLEGE BRIDGE NATIONALLY ACCLAIMED ONLINE PLATFORM ED READY.
SELF-PACED ONLINE INDIVIDUALIZED COLLEGE ENGLISH, READING AND MATH CONTENT AS WELL AS GUIDANCE ON HOW TO PREPARE FOR COLLEGE COURSE WORK.
DALLAS COLLEGE ENGLISH, READING AND MATH FACULTY PROVIDED SIGNIFICANT INPUT
[02:45:22]
WHICH WAS SCALED TO COMMIT.IN JULY, 2020, TEXAS COLLEGE BRIDGE OFFERED AT NO COST TO HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES PLANNING ON ATTENDING DALLAS COLLEGE FALL 2020 AND OFFERED AGAIN THIS JULY AS A SUMMER CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSE FOR RECENT HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES AS WELL AS OTHER ADULTS WHO NEED AND WANT ADDITIONAL PREPARATION PRIOR TO ENTERING ENGLISH AND MATH COURSES THIS FALL.
[02:50:28]
SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION ENABLES STUDENTS TO ENTER COLLEGE LEVEL COURSES WITHOUT COST OR TIME NEEDED TO COMPLETE DEVELOPMENTAL EDUCATION COURSES.SINCE THE TEXAS COLLEGE BRIDGE DESIGNED AS A COLLEGE PREP COURSE.
DALLAS COLLEGE WORKED WITH ALL OUR HIGH SCHOOL PARTNERS TO ENCOURAGE INTEGRATION IN THE 11TH AND 12TH GRADE COURSES.
TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY PROVIDED FREE LICENSES TO HIGH SCHOOLS FOR NEXT
[02:55:30]
ACADEMIC YEAR.DALLAS ISD PURCHASED ED READY LICENSES FOR 9TH AND 10TH GRADE STUDENTS AS AN INTERVENTION TO PREPARE FOR SUCCESS LAST SUMMER, DALLAS COLLEGE TESTED BRIDGE WITH INCOMING HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES WHO VOLUNTEERED TO PARTICIPATE.
105 STUDENTS COMPLETED ENGLISH, 177 COMPLETED MATH MODULES WITH DALLAS COLLEGE FACULTY FACILITATORS.
THEY WERE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE SUCCESSFUL WITH A-C GRADES ENGLISH AND MATH COURTS THAN OTHER STUDENTS WHO WERE NOT PARTICIPANTS.
ALL PERSPECTIVE STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED ALSO MORE LIKELY TO ENROLL IN -- SHARED WITH FACULTY AND SCHOOL DISTRICT PARTNERS AN OVER 30 COMMUNITY COLLEGE
[03:00:32]
AND COMMUNITY COLLEGE PARTNERS PARTICIPATING IN THE COLLEGE BRIDGE INITIATIVE.WORKING WITH ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND FACULTY TO FURTHER INTEGRATE THIS INTO PREPARATION FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE GOING TO BE PARTICIPATING IN OUR COURSES NEXT YEAR.
>> THANK YOU, THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS HAPPY TO TAKE THAT NOW.
>> WHAT SORT OF THE SPEECH ON CURRENT ENROLLMENT? HOW MANY STUDENTS ACADEMIC? I WANT TO MAKE SURE I AM CONVEYING WHAT IS ACCURATE?
[03:05:25]
>> WHAT WE WANT TO BE SHARING, OF COURSE IS OUR CREDIT AND NON-CREDIT.
ALL THAT IS BLENDED TOGETHER ON THAT.
NORMALLY, WHAT WE REPORT OUT IS ONE OR TWO WAYS.
LET'S GET THAT NUMBER OUT TO THE BOARD AND SHOW THAT TOTAL.
FOLKS ARE ALWAYS INTERESTED IN THAT NUMBER.
[03:10:39]
>> I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF GOOD WORK BEING DONE.
I HOPE ALL THIS WORK PROVIDES FRUIT FOR STUDENTS.
HOPEFULLY THE ENROLLMENT WILL COME BACK UP.
CHANCELLOR, ANY PROJECTIONS WHEN WE CONTINUE TO GROW AGAIN?
>> ONE, I THINK SOME OF THIS IS DEPENDENT UPON THE RELATIONSHIP K-12 AND ROLL THATTING OUT.
THE OTHER AND SEVERAL HAVE COMMENTED ON IT.
TRUSTEE AND OTHERS, RELATIONSHIP WITH EMPLOYERS.
THAT IS WHERE, I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR MORE COMING UP, THAT IS THE SPACE WHERE WE HAVE TO DOUBLE DOWN.
[03:15:18]
REDESIGN IN MANY WAYS, DALLAS COLLEGE FREED UP OUR PRESIDENT AND OTHERS OUT ENGAGING WITH EMPLOYERS.PYEPER WILKINS IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEMS WE ARE PUTTING IN PLACE TO DO THAT.
THAT IS NOT JUST SOMETHING THAT IS HAPHAZARD.
EMPLOYER SUCCESS AS WELL AS STUDENT SUCCESS DEPENDENT ON IT.
HISTORICALLY, WE HAVE SEEN COMMUNITY COLLEGE ENROLLMENT GO DOWN AS ECONOMIES RECOVERY COMING OUT OF RECESSION.
WHAT WE HAVE, I HAVE LISTENING TO A PODCAST RECORD NUMBER OF PEOPLE QUITTING JOBS AND EXISTING THE WORK FORCE.
WE ARE TALKING PEOPLE IN 20S AND 30S.
IN ORDER TO KEEP THE JOBS YOU HAVE TO HAVE EDUCATION AND SKILLS.
WE HAVE TO WORK CLOSER WITH EMPLOYERS THAN IN THE PAST.
WE NEED THAT AT LEADERSHIP LEVEL, FACULTY LEVELS, OTHERS.
AND TRUSTEE BOYD AT BOARD LEVELS.
IT IS THOSE RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE GOING TO BE KEY TO HELP MEET NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS, EMPLOYERS AND OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
I BELIEVE WE NEED A BREAK TO SET UP FOR THE NEXT PRESENTATION.
SHOULD WE ROUND IT OFF TO EIGHT MINUTES TO START BACK AT 2:15? SOUNDS GOOD.
ARE WE -- PERLA MOLINA DO WE NEED TO DO ANOTHER ROLL CALL?
>> >> LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR ENGAGEMENT IN THE COMMUNITY AND HOW WE ARE WORKING IN AN INTEGRATED MANNER TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND SERVE OUR EMPLOYERS IN OUR COMMUNITIES IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
WE HAVE SPENT THE LAST YEAR BECOME DALLAS COLLEGE AND CHANGING HOW WE WORK BETTER TO SERVE STUDENTS, EMPLOYERS AND ENTIRE DALLAS COUNTY COMMUNITY.
WE HAVE BUILT NEW STRUCTURES INTERNALLY TO MEET NEEDS OF STUDENTS TO TRANSFORM THEIR LIVES AND ADDRESS ALL THE STRATEGIC PRIORITIES YOU HAVE SET FOR US.
YOU HEARD ABOUT INTERNAL WORK WITH STUDENTS AND MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ACCESS TO RESOURCES, HOW WE WILL BE ASSESSING PROGRAMS TO MAKE SURE WE ARE PROVIDING BEST POSSIBLE PROGRAMS TO MAKE SURE STUDENTS LEAVE US WITH DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS MEANINGFUL FOR THEM IN THE WORK FORCE AND IN THEIR LIVES SO THEY CAN EARN A LIVING WAGE.
NEXT PRESENTATION IS GOING TO SHIFT A LITTLE BIT AND TALK ABOUT HOW WE ARE WORKING AT SCALE IN A COORDINATED AND CONSISTENT WAY.
OUR PAST STRUCTURE OF SEVEN SEPARATE -- ALL WORKING IN A COMMUNITY IN A VARIETY OF WAYS DOING GOOD WORK.
SOMETIMES WE COMPETED WITH EACH OTHER AND HAD NO WAY, REALLY, TO TRACK, TO KEEP UP WITH, TO MEASURE THE RESULTS OF OUR WORK AND BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE OUTCOMES LIKE DR. MAY MENTIONED.
WORK FORCE MANAGEMENT FOCUSSED ON THAT EXTERNAL WORK.
[03:20:10]
WE HAVE ORGANIZED AND BUILT OUR STRUCTURE TO SUPPORT ALL THE EFFORTS ACROSS DALLAS COUNTY AND ACROSS DALLAS COLLEGE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF THE COMMUNITY TO FIND AND SECURE RESOURCES FOR STUDENTS AND PARTNERSHIPS.[03:30:06]
FROM ACADEMICS, WE HAVE CREATED MULTIPLE CROSS FUNCTIONAL TEAMS BASED ON[03:33:22]
THE PROBLEM OR THE NEED WE ARE WORKING TO ADDRESS.YOU ALSO HEARD DR. STILLS MENTION SALES FORCE AS SHE TALKED ABOUT HOW WE'LL KEEP UP WITH THE STUDENT JOURNEY, HOW WE'LL KNOW ABOUT INTERACTIONS STUDENT HAS HAD WITH MULTISUPPORT STAFF IN PLACE.
SALES FORCE ALSO THE TECHNOLOGY BACKBONE OF OUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WORK.
IT IS HOW WE'LL KEEP OURSELVES COORDINATED AND ACCOUNTABLE.
WE HAVE RECEIVED FREQUENT UPDATED ALL WE NEED TO DO TO USE SALES FORCE AS THE COMPLETE ROLL OUT HAPPENS OVER THE SOM SUMMER AND MODULES WE HAVE TO TAKE TO DO THAT WORK.
IT IS A VERY TRANSPARENT SYSTEM.
I RECEIVE A DASH BOARD EVERY WEEK THAT SHOWS ME WHEN INDIVIDUALS LOG IN AND WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IN THE SYSTEM.
IT WILL BE A TRANSFORMATIONAL TOOL TO KEEP UP WITH THE WORK IN THE PRESENTATION.
WE'LL PRESENT MORE IN THE COMING MONTHS AS THE PLATFORM IS BUILT OUT.
WE'LL BE ABLE TO SHARE DASH BOARDS WITH YOU.
ONE BEING THE EMPLOYER CONNECTIONS TRUSTEE BOYD ASKED ABOUT THIS MORNING.
SO MANY MORE THAT WILL HELP SHOW TRANSPARENT WAY IN WHICH WE ARE WORKING AS A TEAM TO MEET THE NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY.
THIS AFTERNOON WE WANT TO ENGAGE OUR PRESIDENTS AND SHE YOU HOW OUR PRESIDENTS ARE INVOLVED IN THIS VERY IMPORTANT WORK.
IT IS A THRILL TO HAVE THEM INVOLVED IN THE WORK.
THREE OF OUR PRESIDENTS HERE TODAY TO SHARE VERY SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF WHAT THEY ARE DOING DR. EDDIE TEALER, DR. CHRISTIAN AND DR. JOE SEABROOKS.
>> THANK YOU, ONE OF THE MAIN FUNCTIONS OF THE PRESIDENTS IS TO REPRESENT THE CAMPUS AND TELL DALLAS COLLEGE STORIES.
WE DO THIS BY COLLABORATING WITH OTHER LEADERS TO ADDRESS NEEDS OF OUR BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS.
ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR CAMPUSES, ARE WELCOMING PLACES FOR OUR STUDENTS, EMPLOYEES AND COMMUNITIES.
ALL OF THE PRESIDENTS ENGAGED IN THIS WORK IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS.
FOR EXAMPLE, PRT PRESIDENT IS INVOLVED TO MAXIMIZE NUMBER OF CREDIT HOURS APPLIED TO THE MAJOR UPON TRANSFER.
SHE IS LEADING THIS COLLABORATION WITH FOUR TOP RECEIVING INSTITUTIONS FOR DALLAS COLLEGE.
[03:35:01]
TRANSFER STUDENTS INCLUDING UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON TEXAS WOMAN'S UNIVERSITY, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS AT DALLAS AND TEXAS A&M COMMERCE.ALSO COLLEGIATE REGISTRARS AND ADMISSIONS OFFICE.
DETAILING KEY OUTCOMES JUNE 28TH.
PRESIDENT WILL WORK WITH FOUR UNIVERSITY VICE PRESIDENTS AND DALLAS COLLEGE TEAM TO RECOMMEND KEY STEPS FOR NEXT ACTIONS.
AS PRESIDENT IS IMPROVING PROCESS FOR STUDENTS, PRESIDENT HAS BEEN HEAVILY INVOLVED IN DEVELOPING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH LOCAL CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE TO CLOSE GAPS BY CONNECTING AREA BUSINESSES TO THE RIGHT AREA COLLEGE RESOURCES.
SHE HAS BEEN ADVICING GARLAND CHAMBERS TO IMPLEMENT INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO CULTIVATE.
HIRE, RETAIN AND ADVANCE NEW MANUFACTURING AND AUTOMATION WORK FORCE.
ALSO LEADING RICHARDSON'S FIVE STAR ACCREDITATION AND AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TEXAS TO EXPAND ITS GLOBAL BUSINESS AND TRADE CONNECTIONS IN THIS REGION.
PRESIDENT WILLIAMS ALREADY MADE A WIDE SWEEP TO PROVIDE OUTREACH TO NEW INNOVATIVE PARTNERS.
HE HAS BEEN IN DISCUSSION WITH THE POLICE, ATHLETIC LEAGUE TO INTEGRATE SPORTS INTO ITS OUTREACH PORTFOLIO AS WELL AS LOOKING FOR WAYS, DALLAS COLLEGE CAMPUSES CAN HOST MIDNIGHT BASKETBALL LEAGUES.
ALSO EXPLORING OPPORTUNITIES WITH DALLAS AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM TO SUPPORT TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION WITH ASSISTANCE WHO SUPERVISED THIS PROGRAM.
IN THE FUTURE WE'LL HEAR MORE ABOUT HIS WORK WITH THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF DALLAS AND COLLABORATION WITH THE CITY OF DALLAS PLANNING AND URBAN DESIGN DEPARTMENT ON THE WEST OAK CLIFF AREA PLAN TO ENGAGE AND EXPAND THEIR ZIP CODE 75211.
DALLAS COLLEGE WILL USE OUR EXISTING EVENTS AND AUDIENCES SUCH AS COMMUNITY
MEETINGS, NORTH TEXAS FOOD BANK DISTRIBUTION SITES >> DR. TEALER, YOU ARE BREAKING UP.
>> DR. TEALER, YOU ARE BREAKING UP A LITTLE BIT.
>> DO YOU WANT CRISTA TO TAKE OVER?
>> I HAVE MORE BEFORE I HAND IT OVER TO DR. JOE SEABROOKS.
SO THIS SLIDE WE'LL FOCUS ON THREE NEW MODELS IN ACTION THAT ILLUSTRATE SCALE AND SCOPE OF PROJECTS FROM THREE DIFFERENT REGIONS WITHIN DALLAS COUNTY.
WE'LL LOOK HOW THIGH TIE TO ACADEMICS AND STUDENT SUCCESS AS WELL AS CROSS FUNCTIONAL TEAMS AND COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES INVOLVED IN THESE EFFORTS.
AS DR. WILKINS MENTIONED EARLIER, TAKES A VILLAGE OF INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PARTNERS FACING OUR COMMUNITIES.
SO OUR FIRST MODEL PRESENTED BY DR. JOE SEABROOKS DISCUSSING SOUTH DALLAS COMMUNITIES, DR. JOE SEABROOKS.
I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF SHARING ONE EXAMPLE HOW WE ADVANCED COLLEGE UTILIZING NEW DALLAS COLLEGE MODEL.
AS WE STAY COMMITTED AND HELPFUL, CURRENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS, IT IS IMPORTANT WE ABSOLUTELY GET OUT IN FRONT OF THE JOBS OF THE FUTURE.
WE HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES TO INSURE WE ARE NOT LEAVING PEOPLE BEHIND IN THE PROCESS.
WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OUT LOOK DATA DEVELOPED BY LABOR MARKET INTELLIGENCE UNIT.
WHAT YOU SEE IN THE CHART TWO ZIP CODES.
DALLAS COUNTY OVERALL AS A COMPARISON.
AS YOU CAN SEE POPULATION, TOTAL NUMBER OF HOUSE HOLDS, MEDIUM HOME VALUES.
MEDIUM INCOMES, AND NUMBER OF BUSINESSES AND FOLKS IN THOSE ZIP CODES EMPLOYED.
YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE NOT A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY IN THAT REGION.
CRITICAL FOR US TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.
AS WE FURTHER DURING ANALYSIS, YOU'LL SEE UNDER NO HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA BETWEEN AGES 25-64.
43% OF THE FOLKS THAT LIVE IN 75210 DO NOT HAVE HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA.
33% RESPECTFULLY IN THE 75216 AND AS YOU SEE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE, DRAMATICALLY HIGHER THAN THE REST OF THE COUNTY.
POVERTY LEVEL IS IN MANY INSTANCES TWICE MORE THAN ACROSS THE COUNTY.
IT IS THESE INDICATORS LOW EDUCATION OBTAINMENT.
HIGH POVERTY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, OPPORTUNITY MEANS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FOLKS WHO ARE AVAILABLE TO ENTER OR RECENTER THE WORK FORCE.
SO IN THAT ANALYSIS, WE REALIZED WE HAD A HUGE OPPORTUNITY.
FIRST IS TO DOUBLEDOWN ON THE ORIGINAL INVESTMENTS MADE AT RICHLAND CAMPUS, ON THE SOUTH DALLAS TRAINING CENTER.
DATA TELLS US CLEARLY, WE NEED TO EXPAND GED EFFORTS AND IMPLEMENT TRUE PATHWAYS YOU JUST LEARNED ABOUT FROM DR. TRAN WHO HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL REIMAGINING THESE LOCATIONS.
LOGISTICS AND INTRODUCTION TO MEGATRONICES.
SHE MENTIONED EARLIER, CERTIFICATIONS THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT, RECOGNIZED BY THE INDUSTRY.
WHAT IS ALSO IMPORTANT, IS THAT WE ENGAGE COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO HELP US CONNECT WITH THE COMMUNITY AND HELP US MOVE FORWARD IN THAT RESPECTIVE ZIP CODE IN THE INNER CITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION HAS BEEN MONUMENTAL IN HELPING US MAKE CONNECTIONS ALONG WITH A NEWLY FORMED ORGANIZATION SOUTH DALLAS EMPLOYMENT PROJECT WHICH I HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING CLOSELY WITH.
SECOND INVESTMENT IS IN THE INNOVATION CENTER.
DR. TRAN MENTIONED THAT BRIEFLY.
THAT FACILITY IS THE OLD BUILDING LOCATED 4315 SOUTH LANCASTER ROAD WHICH IS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY ACROSS FROM THE VA HOSPITAL.
AGAIN ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE AND IMPLEMENT NEW TRUE PATHWAYS AND CONSTRUCTION TRADES AND MEGATRONICES ARE THE TWO PROGRAMS WE ARE FOCUSSED ON AND NCCER CERTIFICATIONS ALONG WITH OSHA ARE THE CERTIFICATIONS PURSUING.
SOUTH DALLAS EMPLOYMENT PROJECT AND OASIS CENTER.
HERE WE HAVE A HIGH FOCUS ON FOLKS JUST AS INVOLVED OR RETURNING CITIZENS.
SO MOVING FORWARD STEPS CRITICAL FOR US TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS ARENA IS TO COMPLETE THE UPDATE OF THE CENTERS.
I WANT TO ABSOLUTELY GIVE PRAISE TO DR. TRAN WHO HAS DONE WORK TO TRANSFORM THAT SPACE TO SOMETHING THAT WILL BE IMPRESSIVE AND PROUD OF WHEN THEY ARE COMPLETED.
MAXIMIZE OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS EFFORTS TO SUCCESSFULLY GET STUDENTS ENROLLED AND COMPLETED.
THEN WE MUST EXPAND OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND EMPLOYERS.
WHAT WE ARE FINDING IS THAT WHEN WE ARE ABLE TO PARTNER WITH OUR COMMUNITY AGENCIES IN PARTICULAR, THEY HELP SPREAD THE WORD AND HELP WITH WRAP AROUND SERVICES AND STUDENTS WHO ARE ACADEMICALLY MORE READY TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE HAVE TO COORDINATE WITH STUDENT SUPPORT UNITS AND WRAP AROUND SERVICES TO INSURE STUDENTS ARE IN A POSITION TO LEARN AND EARN IN THAT PROCESS.
WHAT YOU SEE BELOW, SMALL SAMPLE OF LEADERSHIP REQUIRED TO ADVANCE THESE TWO EFFORTS TO MAKE SURE WE ARE SERVING THE STUDENTS.
HOW ARE YOU GOING BACK IN YOUR SLIDE NOW WHERE YOU EXPAND COMMUNITY PARTNERS EMPLOYERS.
WHAT IS THE GAME PLAN? HOW ARE YOU -- I KNOW YOU AND I VISITED ONE OR TWO OF THE LARGER MANUFACTURERS.
HOW ARE WE GOING ABOUT THAT? I KNOW TERRITORIALLY, YOU ARE NOT DIVIDING THAT AS MUCH AS YOU ARE.
IS IT SUBJECT MATTER? IF WE DID A LIST OF THE SAY 500 LARGEST EMPLOYERS IN DALLAS COUNTY.
HAVE WE GOT SOMEBODY ASSIGNED THEY'LL BE TOUCHING EVERY ONE OF THOSE 500?
>> I AM GLAD YOU ASKED THAT QUESTION.
WHAT WE HAVE DONE AT THIS POINT, STRATEGICALLY, I HAVE BEEN ACTIVE IN SOUTH DALLAS TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION.
DESIGNED TO MEET THE NEEDS, TRANSPORTATION NEEDS OF THE 80 PLUS BUSINESSES FOCUSES ON LOGISTICS AND ADVANCED MANUFACTURING.
IN THAT PROCESS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO INSERT MYSELF WHEREVER APPROPRIATE.
THEY HAVE 200% ATTRITION CONSTANT CHURN.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE IDENTIFIED AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE HOME DEPOT.
THEY NEED TO HIRE 150 FOLKS BY AUGUST.
WE HAVE BEGUN THE CONVERSATIONS ON HOW WE MEET THE NEEDS OF THOSE PARTNERS.
THAT HAS BEEN ONE STRATEGY, SECOND STRATEGY, MENTIONED SOUTH DALLAS EMPLOYMENT PROJECT.
THERE IS OVER LITERALLY, DOZENS OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE SIGNED ON TO WORK ON MEETING THE NEEDS, EMPLOYMENT NEEDS OF THE FOLKS IN THAT REGION.
THERE ARE A HOST OF BUSINESSES BUT NON-FOR PROFITS FOCUSSED TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE WORK READY, EDUCATION READY AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF BEING PROSPEROUS IN THE FUTURE.
>> WOULD IT MAKE SENSE THAT AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE OUR PARTNERSHIP WE HAVE OVER AT NORTH LAKE, WITH THE CONSTRUCTION ASSOCIATION OVER THERE FOR THE NEW PROJECT BUILD OVER THERE? WOULD IT NOT BE MORE TOP OF THE FUNNEL TO STOP NUMBER OF STEPS NECESSARY IF WE HAD A PROJECT TO IDENTIFY ALL OF THE ASSOCIATIONS THAT EXIST IN DALLAS COUNTY OR THAT, IF THEY ARE NOT REPRESENTED IN DALLAS COUNTY, AT LEAST THEIR MAJOR MEMBERSHIP?
JUST ON FRIDAY OF LAST WEEK, DR. CHRISTIAN ALONG WITH TIM SAMUELS BROUGHT EDUCATION INSTRUCTION TO CEDAR VALLEY TO LOOK AT THE NEW COMMERCIAL HVAC LAB.
AND WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY WANT TO BE IN THE SOUTHERN SECTOR TO BE ABLE TO HELP ALL THEIR BUSINESSES FLOURISH WITHAL LEN.
>> I JUST KNOW A LOT OF THE STUFF WE HAVE I KNOW A LOT OF ASSOCIATION OFFICES THAT HAVE HUNDREDS OF MEMBERS BECAUSE BY RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM, IT DOESN'T ONLY GIVE US EMPLOYMENT IN DALLAS COUNTY, GIVES US STUDENT EMPLOYMENT ON A BIGGER FOOTPRINT.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US APPROACHING THAT AS ONE SALES FORCE WILL HELP US TO ATTRACT STUFF LIKE THAT.
I KNOW A LOT OF ASSOCIATIONS HERE IN TOWN WOULD MAKE GOOD PARTNERS.
>> I WANT TO VOLUNTEER TO HELP EEF AND EVERY ONE OF YOU PRESIDENTS TO BE
[03:40:01]
AVAILABLE TO VISIT WITH YOU.DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING WITHOUT A TITLE.
SOMETIMES THEY LIKE FOR US TO BE INVOLVED.
I AM GOING TO COMMIT TO ALL OF YOU, EVERY ONE OF YOU, I AM AVAILABLE FOR APPOINTMENTS.
WHATEVER YOU NEED ME TO HELP AS A TRUSTEE I AM COMMITTED TO HELPING.
>> I THINK WE NEED TO SIGN YOU UP FOR SALES FORCE TRAINING.
>> I HAVE USED SALES FORCE TOO MANY YEARS.
IT IS GOING TO BE HARD TO GET PEOPLE TO FILL UP ALL WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO FILL OUT.
SALES FORCE IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE PEOPLE THAT PUT IT IN.
>> NOT EVERYBODY IS GOOD AT THAT.
TRAINING AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO USE A REWARDS SYSTEM.
REWARD THOSE THAT DO THEIR JOB AND CONTRIBUTE.
AND PUT IN ALL ANTICIPATED APPOINTMENTS AND REWARD THEM.
I'LL SPEND SOME OF JOE'S MONEY.
I WILL DEFINITELY TAKE YOU UP ON THE OFFER PARTICULARLY WITH ASSOCIATIONS WE MIGHT NEED TO TARGET TO GAIN LARGE NUMBERS OF EMPLOYERS.
DALLAS COLLEGE LEADERSHIP AND COORDINATION.
COULD YOU GIVE US VISIBILITY ABOUT WHAT CAMPUS LEADERSHIP LOOKS LIKE IN THE ONE COLLEGE MODEL? HOW DO YOU ARTICULATE COLLEGE LEVEL DOWN TO STUDENTS, WHO RORS TO YOU THESE DAYS? HOW WAS YOUR TIME SPENT DIFFERENTLY NOW THAN IT WAS WHEN WE WERE SEVEN SEPARATE COLLEGES COULD YOU TALK TO THAT?
THINGS I ENJOY, I'LL START THERE ABOUT THIS TRANSITION.
THE CAMPUS LEVEL OF COMPLAINTS I WOULD BE VOVRED IN WHETHER IT WAS PERSONNEL OR STUDENT DRIVEN THAT HAS GONE DOWN DRAMATICALLY ALLOWED ME TO FOCUS ON BEING THE VOICE OF THE CAMPUS AND BEING THE VOICE FOR THE COLLEGE IN THE COMMUNITY.
I ABSOLUTELY ENJOY BEING ABLE TO FOLLOW UP QUICKLY WITH FOLKS WHO HAVE AN IDEA.
FOLKS FEEL LIKE THEY ARE TAKING TOO MUCH OF MY TIME.
U I TELL THEM NO, NO, AM HERE FOR YOU.
IN REALITY, COMBINATION OF COVID AND NEW STRUCTURE, NOT A WHOLE LOT OF ACTIVITY ON THE CAMPUS IN COMPARISON.
I HAVE ALL MY CHANCELLOR AND PROVOST ON SPEED DIAL.
I HAPPILY HAND ISSUES OFF TO THEM.
THEY HAPPILY RECEIVE THEM AND CIRCLE BACK WITH ME TO LET ME KNOW THEY GOT IT RESOLVED.
IT IS GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF PRACTICE.
PERSONALLY Z THRILLED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY OF FOCUSSING ON BRINGING OPPORTUNITIES TO THE TABLE AND LET THE TEAM FLUSH THAT OUT.
GOOD TO KNOW PEOPLE IN THE BIG HOUSE HAVE YOUR BACK SO TO SPEAK.
ALL OF YOU AS A GROUP REPRESENTED THIS INSTITUTION SO WELL FOR YEARS.
I AM SURE THERE ARE A LOT OF ISSUES.
FACT THAT YOU GUYS AND YOU MEN AND WOMEN ALL OF YOU ARE OUT CONTINUING REPRESENTING THE COMMUNITY AND DOING IT AT A HIGHER AND MORE STRATEGIC LEVEL, NOW WE HAVE THE FRAME WORK TO IMPLEMENT THINGS, TURN ON A DIME ON AA PROGRAMS. I AM GRATEFUL FOR DOING IT.
APPRECIATE YOU GIVING US VISIBILITY.
>> IT WILL BE HELPFUL WHEN WE HAVE OUR TEAM FULLY FLUSHED OUT.
PRIOR TO THE MERGER, I WOULD BE LEFT WITH THE EXPERTISE ON MY CAMPUS.
THAT VARIED BASED ON PORTFOLIO PROGRAMS. I FEEL LIKE THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN'T DO.
WHEN YOU SAY THEY HAVE MY BACK, I FEEL LIKE I HAVE AN ARMY BEHIND ME AS WE LEAD THE CHARGE IN THE COMMUNITY DECLARING VICTORY.
I KNOW MY COLLEAGUES ARE ALSO.
NO OTHER QUESTIONS, I AM HAPPY TO PASS BATON TO >> I DON'T KNOW IF THIS GOES TO THE PRESIDENTS OR THE CHANCELLOR, I HAVE ASKED THIS QUESTION MORE THAN ONCE, PROBABLY WE ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO FOCUS ON THAT YESTERDAY WHAT ARE WE PLANNING TO DO ON HELPING EMPLOYEES ALL UP AND DOWN THE CHANGE IN CULTURE? CHANGE THE CLIMATE? THERE HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED ONE RIGHT NOW I AM AWARE OF IS AS STAFF FROM STUDENT SUCCESS AND ACADEMIC AFFAIRS WHATEVER THAT IS CALLED,SCHOOLS BEING RELOCATED TO THE CAMPUSES THOSE PEOPLE LEFT ON THE CAMPUSENS AND WILL BE ON THE CAMPUSES THAT WERE CAMPUS SPECIFIC.
JUST PICKING ON MOUNTAINVIEW, THAT WHOEVER IS LEFT THERE FROM WHAT WAS BEFORE ARE NOT BEING AS FRIENDLY AS ACCOMMODATING, WELCOMING TO THE NEW PRESENTS ON THEIR CAMPUSES.
MIGHT BE BECAUSE THEY ARE STUCK.
I AM CURIOUS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CHANGE, THIS IS NOT FLAVOR OF THE MONT.
DR. LONGEN WILL BECOME THE NEXT CHANCELLOR.
WE HAVE INVESTED TOO MUCH IN HUMAN CAPITAL AND CAPITAL DOLLARS.
TO GET TO WHERE WE ARE ALL FOCUSSED ON SUCCESS.
IT REALLY IS SUSTAINED NOT FLAVOR OF THE MONTH.
GET OVER IT, WELCOME YOUR COLLEAGUES.
>> I WOULD INVITE MY COLLEAGUES TO JUMP IN.
I NO I HAVE BEEN DOMINATING THE CONVERSATION.
>> TRUSTEE FLORES, I THINK ALL THE PRESIDENTS HAVE DONE THIS.
WE GO AROUND AND WE ALMOST INDIVIDUALS TO THE CAMPUS.
HOW CAN WE HELP JOU? WE LET THEM KNOW WHERE PARTICULAR I VENTS WILL BE HAPPENING.
ONE OF THE THINGS, COVID ENVIRONMENT CAUSED US NOT TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER UNTIL NOW.
PACKAGE FOODS THEY GET OUT AND SHARE AND INVITE EVERYBODY TO COME IN.
HERE AT EASTVILLE, WE ARE PLANNING TO DO A LITTLE ICE CREAM SOCIAL.
COME OUT AND SAY HELLO TO YOUR NEIGHBORS.
PEOPLE ARE MOVING IN AND OUT OF CAMPUSES.
DID YOU KNOW THIS IS LOCATED HERE? EVEN HERE, WE ARE DOING TOURS.
STARTED GIVING A FEW TOURS SO PEOPLE WILL KNOW WHERE THINGS ARE LOCATED.
AS WE BEGIN TO EMBRACE THESE INDIVIDUALS.
THEY ARE DOING DALLAS COLLEGE'S WORK.
OUR COMMUNITIES HAVE BEEN SO RECEPTIVE AND POSITIVE TO THE WORK WE ARE DOING WITH THEM.
WE CAN SPEND MORE TIME WITH THEM AND TEN GAUGE AND BRING OTHERS IN THAT ARE THE EXPERTS TO BRIDGE THE CONVERSATION.
IT IS NOT JUST WHAT IS GOING ON IN IMMEDIATE COMMUNITY.
WE CAN SEE SAME ISSUES BRIDGED ACROSS DALLAS COLLEGE AND HAVE A COLLABORATIVE CONVERSATION.
I THINK WE ARE IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS GREAT WORK.
I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE A NICE EXPERIENCE ONCE WE ALL COME TOGETHER AND ALIGN.
THERE ARE NEW POSITIONS BEING HIRED AND MAKING SURE WE UNDERSTAND WHO DOES WHAT THE.
>> THANK YOU FOR THOSE EXAMPLES DR. TEALER.
HOPEFULLY THAT IS WHAT WE'LL HEAR MORE OF.
YOU KNOW HOW OUR GRAPEVINE IS.
HOPEFULLY ALL OF YOU WILL DO YOUR PART AND CHANCE LER TOGETHER AS OF 2021, WE'LL WORK ON IT MORE.
AND REALLY ONE COLLEGE WITH SEVEN CAMPUSES, AGAIN WE KNOW.
WE DEEPLY APPRECIATE THAT SUPPORT.
I DO WANT TO BRAG ON NORTH LAKE AND BROOKHAVEN.
THEY HAVE BOTH HAD WELCOME BACK RECEPTIONS.
SO MUCH SO I BORROWED A PAGE OUT OF THEIR BOOK.
I'LL BE HOSTING WELCOME BACK SESSION HERE AT THE CEDAR VALLEY CAMPUS.
WE ARE GOING TO HONOR ESSENTIAL WORKERS WHO NEVER LEFT AND MAKE SURE THEY GET RECOGNIZED AND WE APPRECIATE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE FOR US.
NO OTHER QUESTIONS, UNLESS DR. CHRISTA SLEJKO.
I PRESENT TO YOU THE GREAT DR. CHRISTA SLEJKO.
>> THANK YOU DR. JOE SEABROOKS.
I WOULD LIKE TO ECHO WHAT YOU SAID.
IT IS TO CREATE A SENSE OF PLACE.
I KNOW IT DOES TO MY COLLEAGUES.
WE HAVE PEOPLE LANDING ON CAMPUS, SOME CONTINUING WITH THE CAMPUS, SOME THAT ARE NEW.
IT IS OUR JOB TO TRY TO MAKE EVERYBODY FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE A HOME BASE EVEN REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY REPORT, WE ALL REPORT IN DIFFERENT PLACES.
WE CAN CELEBRATE STUDENTS AND EMPLOYEES TOGETHER IN THAT SHARED SPACE.
AS DR. TEALER AND DR. JOE SEABROOKS AS WE GET MORE PEOPLE AND MORE ACTIVITIES HAPPENING ON CAMPUS.
CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACK TO THAT WORK AND INCLUDES WELCOMING NEW FOLKS TO THE CAMPUS.
WITH THAT, I'LL GO TO MY EXAMPLE.
IR AM GOING TO SHARE A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON THE ROLE OF THE PRESIDENTS HOW WE ARE INTERACTING WITH THE COMMUNITY.
PARKLAND REPRESENTS A MODEL, WE ARE USING CROSS FUNCTIONAL MODEL HOW WE DELIVER AMAZING PARTNER EXPERIENCE.
SO USUALLY WHEN YOU HEAR FROM ME, I AM TALKING ABOUT CONSTRUCTION.
I THINK IT IS INDICATIVE OF THE NEW ROLE THAT I AM COMING TO YOU TODAY TO TALK ABOUT PARKLAND.
AND HOW THAT COMMUNITY CONNECTION HAPPENED.
BEFORE WE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE I HAVE A COLLABORATIVE COLLEAGUE IN IRVING WHO ALSO SITS ON THE PARKLAND BOARD.
SIX MONTHS AGO HE REACHED OUT AND SAID HEY, I WANT YOU TO TAKE THIS CALL WITH A COUPLE OF OUR LEADERS.
I TOOK THAT CALL KNOWING THAT I AM NOT THE HEALTH CARE.
[03:45:01]
I AM NOT THE CONTENT EXPERT.ON BEHALF OF DALLAS COLLEGE TOOK THE CALL.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE I'LL SHOW YOU THE ACT AND OUR RESPONSE.
CREATE A ONE-STOP APPROACH TO A COMPREHENSIVE PARTNERSHIP.
THEY WANTED ONE-POINT CONTACT.
THEY ALSO WERE VERY CLEAR WANTING TO EXPAND PARTNERSHIP WE HAVE HAD TOGETHER AROUND HEALTH CARE.
STUDENTS, RECRUITING, CLINICALS, THEY SAID YOU KNOW WHAT? PARKLAND IS A CITY WITHIN A CITY.
WE HAVE A LOT OF OTHER WORK FORCE NEEDS.
TO TRUSTEE BOYDS' COMMENT, WE WANT YOU TO HELP US ATTRACT AND RETAIN A WORK FORCE THAT REFLECTS DALLAS COUNTY THAT IS WHAT WE DO AND WHO WE ARE.
THEY ALSO WANTED A PARTNER IN DELIVERING A SET OF COMMUNITY SERVICES AGAIN EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DOING.
YOU HAVE HEARD TRUSTEE RITTER.
COMMUNITY CLINICS SCHOOL BASED UNITS, 12 COMMUNITY CLINICS AND 11 SCHOOL BASE AND MOBILE UNITS.
IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE BOTTLE LEFT SECOND BULLET.
THEY EMPLOY OVER 13,000 EMPLOYEES.
IF YOU JUMP TO THE RIGHT JUST A WEEK AGO I WENT ON TO THEIR EMPLOYMENT SITE.
THEY HAD 599 JOB OPPORTUNITIES.
THEY SAID WE NEED ACCOUNTANTS.
WE NEED IT PROFESSION THAT WILLS, CULINARY, BAKERS AND COOKS.
WE ARE THE PERFECT PARTNER FOR THAT.
WE CALLED PYEPER, I SAID THIS IS OUR CHANCE.
SHE SAID YES, LET'S PUT TOGETHER A COMPREHENSIVE TEAM OF FOLKS FROM ALL OF THE KEY AREAS OF DALLAS COLLEGE.
THEY ARE GOING TO SERVE AS A PROJECT TEAM FOR THIS PARTNER.
ANYBODY THAT NEEDED TO DO WORK WITH PARKLAND, KIND OF A PLUG AND PLAY WITH VERY SPECIFIC ROLES WHEN YOU COME TO THE TEAM, YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR ROLE IS.
WE MAY ENGAGE YOU IMMEDIATELY OR YOU MAY WAIT FOR YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
EVERYBODY HEARS EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING WITH PARKLAND.
REGULAR MEETINGS AND TRACK EVERYTHING WE ARE DOING.
THEN A CLEAR LINE OF COMMUNICATION FOR PARKLAND.
WE HAVE A TWO-KEY COMMUNICATION LINES.
I STAY IN TOUCH WITH MY COMMUNITY CONTACT FROM THE BOARD.
ALSO EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT WHO I INITIALLY MET WITH.
I STAY IN TOUCH ARE YOU GETTING WHAT YOU NEED? IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? WE ALSO HAVE A PROJECT DELIVERY POINT PROJECT IN THIS AREA IT IS -- TO CONNECT ANYONE ES THAT NEEDS TO WORK WITH PARKLAND.
ANYONE PARKLAND THAT NEEDS TO WORK WITH OUR DALLAS COLLEGE ORGANIZATION.
BOTTOM LEFT BULLET, DEFINITELY BUILT THIS WAY.
THIS CLEAR ENTRY POINT FOR NEW OPPORTUNITIES.
NOW THAT WE HAVE THE TEAM BUILT.
WE HAVE AN ARMY OF PEOPLE OUT IN THE COMMUNITY.
AS THEY, I'LL SAY DR. BRAD WILLIAMS, HE MADE A CONTACT.
REACHED OUT TO THE TEAM, HEY, I HAVE SOMETHING FOR PARKLAND.
IRIS, DR. FREEMAN ALREADY DOING MENTAL HEALTH WORK WITH PARKLAND AND WANTS TO DO TELEHEALTH.
VERY CLEAR ENTRY POINT SO WE DON'T DUPLICATE OR CONFUSE A MESSAGE OR DELIVERY TO A PARTNER.
THIS IS A QUICK GLANCE AT THE AREAS REPRESENTED ON OUR TEAM.
YOU'LL SEE OF COURSE SCHOOL OF HEALTH SCIENCE, ORIGINS OF OUR PARTNERSHIP.
CAREER DEVELOPMENT PIECE IMPORTANT.
WE'LL ADD PEOPLE AS WE HAVE DIFFERENT INITIATIVES WITH PARKLAND.
SAMPLING OF SOME OF THE THINGS WE HAVE BEEN DOING.
DOING NOW, AND PLANNING TO DO.
OBVIOUSLY MOST FAMILIAR WITH CLINICAL OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH HEALTH SCIENCE.
ALSO THROUGH GLORIA'S CAREER CONNECTED LEARNING AND SOLUTIONS DEVELOPMENT TEAM.
APPRENTICESHIP GRANTS, THE YOU ARE HIRED GRANT.
PATIENT CARE TECH AND RN RESIDENCY.
THEY ARE IN FOURTH AND FIFTH COHORTS.
WE ARE DOING UP SKILLING MIDDLE BULLET ON THE PAGE TALKS ABOUT CURRENT PARKLAND EMPLOYEES IN GROW YOUR OWN.
NOT ONLY ARE WE SUPPORTING THAT WORK, WE ARE ALSO GOING TO TRY TO PARLAY THEIR GROW YOUR OWN INTO PREAPPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM.
HENCE THE PIECE FROM STUDENT SERVICES.
REALLY COOL, THEY WANT TO DO A LOT OF CAREER FAIRS.
ONE IN THE WORKS NOW, DISD P TECH AND EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.
WE ARE FACILITATING A CAREER FAIR WITH PARKLAND AND ALL OF THOSE GRADUATES ACROSS A VARIETY OF FIELDS.
THAT IS IN PLANNING RIGHT NOW.
THAT IS THE ONE DR. WILLIAMS BROUGHT TO THE TEAM.
GIVES YOU SAMPLING TO THE KINDS OF THINGS THEY ARE DOING.
HOPING THIS MODEL WILL WORK WELL FOR OTHER PARTNERS THAT WANT TO DO A MULTITUDE OF THINGS.
WE ARE ALL IN THE ROOM TOGETHER AS OPPORTUNITIES ARISE.
>> FIRST OF ALL, I THINK THIS IS FANTASTIC.
MAYBE EVEN AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US AT SOME POINT IN TIME.
THERE IS LIKE A SMALL CITY BETWEEN CHILDREN'S, UT AND PARKLAND, OVER 40,000 PEOPLE A DAY.
THAT MIGHT BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE CERTAIN CLASSES THAT COULD BE HELD AT THE END OF A SHIFT OR SOMETHING.
A LOT OF THEM GET ON THE DART TRAIN AND GO HOME.
I THINK WHAT THIS IS REALLY GOING TO BE IS A GREAT FOOTPRINT.
THIS IDENTICAL FOOTPRINT CAN BE TAKEN ACROSS THE STREET TO CHRIS AT CHILDREN'S.
TAKEN UP THE STREET TO UT SOUTH WESTERN.
THEY HAVE THE SAME NEEDS, FORKLIFT DRIVERS, WAREHOUSE PEOPLE, COMPUTER OPERATORS, ACCOUNTANTS, AUDITORS.
LONG TIME I HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT WHAT I THINK DALLAS COLLEGE NEEDS TO BECOME QUARTERBACK OF DALLAS COUNTY FOR WORK FORCE DEVELOPMENT AND BRINGING NEW BUSINESSES TO TOWN.
THESE PROGRAMS WILL BE VIEWED NATIONALLY.
PARKLAND IS EVERY OTHER HOSPITAL IN AMERICA.
YOU HAVE THE BEST PARTNER YOU COULD HAVE TO BUILD YOUR MODEL.
I REALLY DO THINK WHAT THIS IS GOING TO DO, ONE OF THE THINGS I AM GOING TO ENCOURAGE YOU MOST OF ALL IS LOOK AT THE VENDORS WHO ARE KEY VENDORS AND COMPANIES PARTNERED WITH PARKLAND.
THAT IS WHERE -- PARKLAND HAS MINUSCULE NUMBER OF SUCCESS TEAM JOB OPPORTUNITIES COMPARED TO THE NATIONAL FOOTPRINT OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN TO PARKLAND MANY, MANY YEARS.
I CAN TELL YOU FOR A FACT JUDY, LADY THAT OWNS EPIC.
THAT IS AN EMPLOYEE-OWNED COMPANY.
THEY ARE THE GORILLA IN HEALTH CARE WHEN IT COMES TO EMR'S AND SO FORTHED.
I KNOW HOSPITALS SPENT TONS OF MONEY PAYING PEOPLE.
EMR. OUR PROGRAM WE ARE GOING TO HAVE WORK PLACE.
THE OPPORTUNITY HERE AS A HUP IS PHENOMENAL.
AND THE VENDORS THAT RELATE TO PARKLAND ARE A FOOTPRINT FOR WHY I SAID IDENTIFY ALL THE MAJOR COMPANIES.
THIS GIVES US A SIDE DOOR ENTRY TO THAT COMPANY AUTOMATICALLY.
MANY TEAM MEMBERS ARE PLUGGED IN, GREAT IDEA, THANK YOU.
>> I'LL COMMIT TO HELPING YOU I SPENT BETTER THAN 20 YEARS ASSOCIATED WITH PARKLAND.
>> IN TERMS OF PARKLAND ONE, ARE YOU THE LEAD ON THIS? THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN YOUR ROLE AS REGARDS TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT? YOU ARE ENGAGING PARKLAND?
YES, I AM THE LEAD FOR THIS PROJECT AT THE EXECUTIVE LEVEL.
>> REASON I AM ASKING IS BECAUSE WE HAD A MEETING YESTERDAY WITH DR. SERES AND POSSIBLE COLLABORATION WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.
I AM GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT TODAY WHEN WE END WITH THE CHANCELLOR AND DR. LONGEN.
NOW I KNOW ALSO YOU ARE A LEAD, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ALL THE PEOPLE ON THE SCREEN ARE THE ONES DOING THE WORK ON CONVENING AND FACILITATING AND REMOVE OBSTACLES.
>> YOU MENTIONED PROGRAMS UNDER DEVELOPMENT IN MENTAL HEALTH.
SECONDLY, IS THERE OPPORTUNITY WITH PARKLAND TO CREATE WORK STUDY PROGRAMS FOR OUR STUDENTS.
AND FOR EXAMPLE WE WANT TO DO MORE TELEHEALTH AND TELEHEALTH SERVICES.
>> TELEHEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH.
I KNOW WE FEEL LIKE WE OFFERED MENTAL HEALTH PIECES.
OUR STUDENTS DIDN'T HAVE GOOD ACCESS.
REFERRING THEM OUT MEANT MANY NEVER TOOK ADVANTAGE OF IT.
IF WE CAN BRING THAT IN AND TELEHEALTH, MIGHT HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF ACTUALLY CONNECTING THEM.
IRIS, IF YOU ARE HERE, ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT?
>> CHRISTA, LET'S COME BACK TO IT AT SOME POINT.
WHEN I THINK ABOUT HOW DALLAS COLLEGE APPROACHES HEALTH CARE, I THINK WE GO OUT OF OUR OWN PATHWAYS POINT OF VIEW FOR OUR OWN STUDENTS.
I WOULD JUST BE VERY INTERESTED IN SOME OF THE BEST THINKING OF HOW THOSE THREE DISTINCT RELATIONSHIPS THAT WE HAVE AS A COLLEGE WITH HEALTH
CARE COULD COME TOGETHER IN A MORE DYNAMIC AND EFFECTIVE WAY >> I THINK THEY JUST MADE ME A PANELIST.
WE HAVE HAD THOSE CONVERSATIONS.
AS DR. SLEJKO SAID EARLIER, WE HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH VICE PROVOST FLINT IN TALKING ABOUT OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS AND MOMENTS TO HAVE CLINICALS.
[03:50:02]
TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH GLORIA SMITH AND INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES.WE ARE TRYING TO BRIDGE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES TO MEET NEEDS IN TELEHEALTH AND HEALTH PROGRAMS AS WELL.
ALSO GIVING STUDENTS OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXPERIMENTAL LEARNING.
THOSE ARE ON THE TABLE AS YOU ARE AWARE.
DISCUSSIONS TOOK A BACKSEAT DURING THE PANDEMIC AND RISING TO THE TOP OF THEIR LIST AS OF NOW.
WE WILL GET BACK INTO THOSE DISCUSSIONS AS SHAWNDA WORKS OUT THE CURRICULUM DESIGNS THAT WILL ADDRESS JUST WHAT YOU ARE SPEAKING ABOUT.
>> GREAT, APPRECIATE THAT, IRIS.
TALKING WITH SHAWNDRA AND PYEPER AND BEATRIZ JOSEPH WE ARE PLANNING OF BRINGING HEALTH CARE BACK AS INDUSTRY SECTOR.
HOW ARE WE APPROACHING HEALTH CARE FROM A STUDENT SERVICES AND PATHWAY POINT OF VIEW.
I THINK WE ARE PLANNING ON HAVING THAT COME BACK IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS, MAYBE WE COULD GET A SHOT THEN.
IF THERE IS NO FURTHER QUESTIONS I WILL DEFER TO DR. TEALER.
HE IS GOING TO SHARE A VERY EXCITING WORK HE IS DOING WITH MESQUITE.
SO THIS PARTICULAR ACTION PLAN WILL BE TO LOOK AT THE CITY OF BALCH SPRINGS AND MESQUITE.
A LOT OF ECONOMIC TAKEOFF IN THE CITY OF BALCH SPRINGS.
A LOT OF THIS NEED IS AROUND WORK FORCE TRAINING.
THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH EMPLOYEES TO FILL THESE POSITIONS.
ALSO AMAZON COME IN AND BUILD 130,000 SQUARE FOOT FACILITY.
ALREADY HIRED 200 EMPLOYEES PHASE ONE.
AND LOOKING TO HIRE MORE EMPLOYEES IN THE FUTURE AS THEY EXPAND.
THERE IS A TALENT SUPPLY SHRINKING OF RETIREMENTS AS WELL AS AGING WORK FORCE.
ALSO LOWER ATTAINMENT FOR CERTIFICATIONS AND DEGREES.
AND STUDENTS GRADUATE AND DO NOT RETURN AS PROFESSIONALS TO BALCH SPRINGS AREA.
BETTER COLLABORATION WITH DALLAS COLLEGE AND WORK FORCE DEVELOPMENT TRAINING.
THIS IS WORKING WITH THE ENTIRE CITY FOR STUDENT INTERNSHIPS AND MENTORSHIPS IN ALL THE CITY OFFICES.
YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF THE OF THIS WORK IS VERY IMPORTANT.
I REMEMBER THE CONVERSATION WITH CITY MANAGER CLUES.
SHE SAID I WANT STUDENT INTERNSHIPS IN ALL THESE OFFICES.
NEXT MEETING WAS TO MEET WITH ALL CITY DIRECTORS TO UPDATE JOB DESCRIPTIONS.
THAT WAS SENT TO DR. WILKIN'S GROUP TO START WORKING ON A PIPELINE FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS.
THEY ALSO WOULD LIKE FOR US TO LOOK AT EXPANDED GE >> I'LL JUMP IN.
>> I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD CUT OUT.
ANY WAY, WE HAVE BEEN IN COLLABORATION WITH VICE CHANCELLOR WILKINS AND HER TEAM AND HEAVILY INVOLVED IN THIS WORK.
BALCH SPRINGS SUNNYVALE IS GROWING.
MIGHT HEAR IT CHOICE HIGH SCHOOL WILL OPEN THIS FALL.
IT IS UNLIKE A TRADITIONAL HIGH SCHOOL.
FOCUSES ON CAREER AND CERTIFICATE PATHWAYS.
DALLAS COLLEGE INTEGRATED IN THIS PROJECT SINCE THE BEGINNING BY PROVIDING GUIDANCE AND SCHOOL OF ACADEMIC SUPPORT FOR THEIR TRAINING PROGRAM.
THIS FALL, THEY ARE ANTICIPATING 500 FRESHMAN AND 500 SOPHOMORES.
THIS WOULD BUILD TO CAPACITY OF 2,000 STUDENTS WE ARE ALREADY INTEGRATED AND GIVEN THE LEADERSHIP TO THAT GROUP.
THAT WOULD BE PROVOST AS WELL AS ANNA MAYS AND DR. FRANKED FLANDERS.
MISD VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THIS WORK.
DESPITE ALL THE POSITIVE CHANGES EVEN WITH THE GROWTH OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS OF MESQUITE THAT FEED INTO BALCH SPRINGS.
MISD SAFE LANDING PROGRAM AND OPENING DOOR PROGRAM, THESE TWO PROGRAMS LOOK AT HIGH RISK STUDENTS.
THESE ARE STUDENTS THAT DON'T FEEL THEY CAN COME BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL AND GET THE SUPPORT BUT WE ARE HAVING PATHWAYS OF SUPPORT TO NOT ONLY HELP THESE STUDENTS GET THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL, BUT ALSO UNDERSTAND THEY CAN ATTEND COLLEGE.
THEY HAVE HIGH FOOD INSECURITY NEEDS.
VICE CHANCELLOR WILKINS AND JOSEPH ATTENDED MEETINGS WITH ME AND ALREADY MADE PLANS HOW WE COULD CASE MANAGE SOME OF THIS EFFORT.
WE HAVE ALREADY GIVEN SEVERAL WORKSHOPS FASFA WORKSHOPS AND OTHERS.
OVER THIS NEXT YEAR, HOPE TO SERVE 250 STUDENTS.
GOOD THING ABOUT THIS WORK, THIS IS ONLY ONE OF THE MISD HIGH SCHOOLS AND IS -- WE ANTICIPATE SERVING 500-600 OF THESE STUDENTS.
FINALLY FOCUSSING ON MY WORK IN THE COMMUNITY COLLABORATION AND ENGAGEMENT, IT IS IMPORTANT WE INSURE ALL COMMUNITY LEADERS ESPECIALLY IN THE AREA I AM WORKING IN, EAST DALLAS COUNTY THERE IS A PLATFORM OF SOLVING PROBLEMS OF COMMON CONCERN BY CREATING ADVISORY COUNCIL.
THIS WILL ADDRESS A LOT OF THESE ISSUES BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ONLY ISSUES IN ONE AREA, CROSS FUNCTIONAL ISSUES THAT CAN IMPACT MANY OF OUR PARTNERS.
WE ARE PLEASED AT LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT COLLABORATIVE IN SEPTEMBER.
JUST TO LET STUDENTS KNOW THERE IS A PATHWAY.
THERE ARE RESOURCES AND PEOPLE AVAILABLE TO HELP THEM IS WHAT IS SO INSPIRING ABOUT THE SAFE LANDING AND OPENING DOORS WORK WE ARE DOING.
ALSO WITH THE BALCH SPRINGS PARTNERS TO HAVE THE CROSS CITY COLLABORATIVE SO NICE TO SEE.
THIS PAST YEAR, WE HAD OUR FIRST CONVENING WITH THE CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE FOR MESQUITE, BALCH SPRINGS, SUNNYVALE AND SOUTHEAST DALLAS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
THIS IS THE TYPE OF CONVENING WE HOPE TO GAIN FROM THE WORK WE ARE DOING.
SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE EXAMPLES AND WAYS WE ARE ENGAGED IN SOLVING PROBLEMS FACING OUR COMMUNITIES ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR US?
>> NO QUESTIONS, I THINK THIS IS AN EXCELLENT PRESENTATION.
WE DON'T GET TO HEAR FROM THE COLLEGE PRESIDENTS AS OFTEN AS WE USED TO.
GREAT TO HEAR ALL THE PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATIONS YOU ARE LOOKING AT.
ANY TRUSTEE HAVE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? NOW I GUESS IT IS THAT TIME OF DAY THEN, WHERE WE SAY GOOD-BYE.
SO WE CAN CONTINUE WITH THE WORKSHOPS, THANKS, EVERYONE.
>> 9:00 A.M.? >> YES, 9:00 A.M.
>> PEARLA, CONFIRM ADJOURNMENT AND TIME SO WE CAN PUT IT IN MINUTES.
WORK SESSION, THAT IS THE TIME WE'LL TAKE FOR ADJOURNMENT.
EXCELLENT ...
