Community College Engagement Initiative (CCEI) Update INFORMATION This item is for information only. BACKGROUND For decades, the UW has provided academic transfer opportunities for thousands of Washington residents who have attended Washington Community and Technical Colleges. The transfer relationship and its associated benefit to students, families and communities across the state of Washington, many of whom are first-generation, underrepresented and low-income, is deeply embedded in the public mission of the UW and our commitment to equity, access and inclusion. As a part of our ongoing work to define, enhance, and improve the Husky Experience, the transfer student experience and the UW’s relationship and engagement with the community college system warrants specific, proactive attention. Sponsored by the President and the Provost, the Community College Engagement Initiative (CCEI) is a year-long self-study designed to review and assess the Washington community college transfer experience at the UW-Seattle. Focusing on the Seattle and Spokane Colleges, its purpose is to identify respective strengths, weaknesses, challenges and opportunities with the UW and Community and Technical College relationship and to make recommendations on future directions. In October 2015, Associate Vice President for Alumni and Constituent Relations and UW Alumni Association Executive Director Paul Rucker was assigned additional duties and responsibilities as Special Assistant to the President and Provost for Community College Engagement to provide leadership on this initiative. His background in community college administration and current integrated responsibilities across the UW make him ideally suited to lead this effort. Rucker is joined in the CCEI leadership role by Gary Oertli, President of South Seattle College President and Vice Chancellor for University Partnerships for the Seattle College District.

UW Faculty Feedback
> Some transfer students struggle in their first quarter or two due to larger class sizes, more competition among peers, and shifting self-perceptions.
> Transfer students who enroll in TRIG or TRAC courses build community, which translates into academic success.
> Strong advising from the beginning is key for student readiness and entry to major.
> Faculty are inspired by transfer students because they excel even with extra challenges.

Adviser & Student Services Staff Feedback
> Clear, accurate information – regarding deadlines, course equivalencies, prerequisites - is key to the successful transfer of community college students.
> The late timing of admissions notification disadvantages students in their academic planning, financial aid, and initial course registration.
> More access to admissions staff – on the CTC campus and/or through a helpline – for both transfer students and advisers would be beneficial.

Transfer Alumni Feedback (2014 Graduates)
> Alumni indicated that admission into a major was the most important factor for their successful transition into the UW.
> 94% indicated they were able to transfer the credits they expected would transfer to UW.
> 85% said they were able to register for courses for their major in their first quarter at the UW.
> Transfer alumni are just as likely to agree with the statement “If I had to make my college choice again, I would choose to attend UW” compared to high school entrant alumni.

Potential additional partners could include City of Seattle, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, The Road Map Project, Alliance for Education, etc.
INITIAL PROJECT TIMELINE: Nine Months. October 2015 – June 2016. If successful, the CCEI may serve as a framework to assess and explore expanded statewide UW and community college collaboration.

BUDGET & RESOURCES The Provost has committed funding to support this preliminary assessment phase. Resources to be used to fund a part-time hourly project manager and miscellaneous, non-salary operations and administrative expenses which may be incurred. If this pilot initiative proves successful, it may provide a framework for expanded collaboration between the UW and Washington’s community and technical colleges outside of Seattle and across Washington State.

We are pleased to appoint you Special Assistant to the President and Provost for Community College Engagement to provide leadership on this initiative. Your background in CTC administration and integrated responsibilities across the UW make you ideally suited for this work. The initial project appointment is for a term of one year, with the possibility to extend and/or enhance the role pending the outcome and recommendations from this initial pilot phase. The Provost will provide resources for project management and support. Thank you for your leadership on this important initiative. We look forward to the outcome of your work. Warmest regards,
