This would offer not-for credit classes to communities and help funnel students back into Taft College. These centers would staff two learning assistants and a faculty member in order to help serve the community. The plans were recently completed and will be sent out campus wide soon. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cognos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Cognos Club has still be meeting and implementing new training and skills.

It explained how SSSP and Equity overlap in areas and how they can work together. Also, the handout explained out Core Services, Enrollment Management, At-Risk Follow-Up, and who would be served. It was discussed throughout the group that SSSP and Equity can rank DI students by how at-risk they are in order to organize and have a plan on whom to serve first. Equity was discussed as the first strategies in prioritizing the students who need help. There was an agreement that the word about different services needed to be campus wide so that students were not falling through the cracks. The slogan for SSSP was discussed to be \u2018Equity First\u2019 as that was a major group that both SSSP and Equity could help with. It was mentioned that SSSP might be able to aggregate their data at specific steps to help filter out Equity students so that Equity could follow-up with those students. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pre-collegiate Mentors<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Briefly discussed how we can encourage more students to apply<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Since few students have filled out the Peer Mentor applications, that the applications process will be opened up to any interested student who meets the hiring criteria. Previously it was decided among the group before that DI students should mentor other DI students. However, with the low number of interested students, the group decided to open mentor positions to other non-DI students and have the mentees be the prioritized DI students in need of help. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ct-test-wp.taftcollege.edu\/access\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/Minutes-11-13-20151.pdf\" class=\"mtli_attachment mtli_pdf\">Minutes 11-13-2015<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Access Committee  Nov. 13, 2015  Attendees: Jen Altenhofel, Adam Bledsoe, Dan Hall, Lourdes Gonzalez, Vicki Jacobi, Danielle Vohnout, Mark Williams, Sharyn Eveland, Velda Pe\u00f1a, Fernando Lara, Tina Mendoza, Darcy Bogle, and Rebekah Horton.
