Congratulations to Bakersfield College
One of Two California Community College Programs Earn Dr. John W. Rice Award for Advancing Diversity, Equity and Student Success
|
|
The 19th annual Dr. John W. Rice Award was awarded to two college programs for their outstanding efforts to improve student equity, diversity and student success on campus. Named after former California Community Colleges Board of Governors member Dr. John W. Rice, the awards honor Santa Barbara City College’s Leaders in Equity, Antiracism and Reparations Now (LEARN) program for
Diversity and Equity
, and Bakersfield College’s Completion Coaching Communities program for
Student Success
.
Bakersfield College – Completion Coaching Communities
Bakersfield College has seen growth and improvement across virtually every metric at the college since beginning its Guided Pathways implementation several years ago. The success is due in large part to a campuswide redesign of existing structures in order to advance equitable access and completion.
To get more students to complete and/or transfer – on time and without excess units – Bakersfield College has implemented 10 Completion Coaching Communities, organized by meta-major, and each with a designated data coach. The organization ensures each student is guided to pursue the most direct path to his or her educational goal, while identifying and breaking down barriers that might stand in their way.
This structure has led to great success over the past two years, notably in closing the equity gap. Using the Guided Pathways framework, Bakersfield College has:
- Closed transfer-level English completion gap for African American students from 14% to 44%.
- Closed Latinx gap in Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) attainment from 61.6% to 67.4%.
- Improved completion rates for Latinx students from 26.8% to 38.6%.
- Improved completion rates for African American students from 32% to 39.8%.
Bakersfield College also credits establishing and maintaining momentum, being resilient in times of difficulty and committing to transparency and trust building while implementing Guided Pathways on the road to closing equity and achievement gaps.
