GUIDELI N ES FOR DIALOGUE / COMMUN ITY EXPECTATIONS

1. Be true to yourself. We want to create an atmosphere for open, honest exchange.

2. Commit to learning from each other. Listen to each other and acknowledge that we all come from different backgrounds, skills, interests, abilities, and values. We realize that it is these very differences that will increase our awareness and understanding through this process.

3. Acknowledge each other’s experiences. We will not devalue people for their experiences, lack of experiences, or difference in interpretation of those experiences.

4. Trust that others are doing the best they can. We will try not to ‘freeze people in time’ but leave space for everyone to learn and change through our interactions with one another.

5. Challenge the idea and not the person. If we wish to challenge something that has been said, we will challenge the idea or the practice referred to, not the individual sharing this idea or practice.

6. Speak your discomfort. If something is bothering you and you are open to sharing, please share it with the group. Often our emotional reactions to this process offer the most valuable learning opportunities.

7. Step Up, Step Back. Be mindful of taking up much more space than others. On the same note, empower yourself to speak up when others are dominating the conversation.

Nathaniel Donahue, ASCCC At-Large Representative

Luke Lara, MiraCosta College

Crystal Williams, SSCCC RAD Region IX

This year’s Academic Academy focuses on understanding how to design our colleges for today and the future and remain student-centered. To further the work on the re-design of our colleges, faculty, faculty leaders, other employee groups and students are required to develop shared language. The session will give you an opportunity to engage in conversations to develop shared definitions of key concepts, reflect on what you want to learn in the Academy and how to engage.

3:30pm - 5:00pm Queens Salon OERI Overview and Discipline Dialogue

Michelle Pilati, Faculty Coordinator, ASCCC Open Educational Resources Initiative

ASCCC Open Educational Resources Initiative Regional Leads

Applying what was learned at the pre-session orientation, attendees are invited to learn about the ASCCC Open Educational Resources Initiative (OERI). OERI can be a key component of addressing equity issues, facilitating student success, making tools available to address the various initiatives our colleges are struggling with, empowering faculty to create the most conducive learning environment for their students, and improving the overall student experience. The expansion of the use of OER in our colleges has the potential to ensure that all students have all the resources they need to be successful, not merely those who are able to attend colleges that are well-resourced or those students who can afford additional resources. How is the ASCCC OER Initiative using its resources to achieve these goals? What is the role of OERI in a student-centered college design at your college? And what do you and your discipline colleagues need to optimize the teaching and learning environment for every student?

Re-Evaluating Program Review in a Guided Pathways Framework Britannia Salon and Deck

Ginni May, ASCCC Treasurer

Alyssa Nguyen, Director of Research and Evaluation, RP Group

John Stanskas, ASCCC President

As colleges examine their institutional processes in relation to the self-examination Guided Pathways is supposed to inspire, program review is of key relevance to that institutional framework. Referenced in accreditation standards and Title 5 regulations, program review should be a process that consists of meaningful reflection on how a program serves students and aligns with the mission of the college through a systemic and data-driven framework. How is implementation of statewide initiatives such as AB 705 and the Student Centered Funding Formula evaluated during program review? How does program

Student Onboarding Processes – Helping Students Determine their Path Royal Salon

Janet Fulks, Bakersfield College


Rogeair Purnell-Mack, Project Lead, RP Group

Alexis Zaragoza, Board of Governors Member

Many colleges have special onboarding processes for select student populations such as First-Year Experience, EOPS, Puente, and Umoja. How can onboarding processes be expanded for all students and reflect a more comprehensive and student-centered approach to orientation, assessment for placement, and student advising within the confines of the law? What are guided placement, self placement, and student onboarding, and how are they different? Increasing research evidence points to the linkage between developing student self-agency and persistence and completion. What information do students want to make informed decisions in the onboarding process? Providing quality information and high expectations that enable students to make their own evidence-based decisions is the goal of guided onboarding. Join us for a discussion on the importance of Guided Pathways Onboarding with a review of some current onboarding methods and data reported by local colleges.

Peter Fulks, Cerro Coso College

Alec Griffin, Cerro Coso College

Silvester Henderson, ASCCC At-Large Representative

Please come learn about the many equitable opportunities these students are offered as this college program con- tributes academic knowledge, social development and intellectual skills, through an inventive framework that supports, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.

Universal Design and Online Accessibility Standards for All Students Board Room

Dolores Davison, ASCCC Vice President

Geoffrey Dyer, ASCCC Area A Representative


Every college is required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities act but most colleges are challenged with identifying appropriate standards and resources to implement. Being mindful of accessibility requirements creates a better experience for all students. Embracing the concept of Universal Design may be a means of re-framing the accessibility conversation to moving beyond compliance to doing the right thing for all students. Join us for a discussion of the principles of Universal Design and ways they can be integrated at your college–not just for students online, but all students.

Evaluating Implicit Bias in Organizational Structures Victoria Room and Deck



Eugene Whitlock, Association of Chief Human Resource Officers (ACHRO)

Numerous barriers to improved diversity and opportunity are rooted in Structural Inequalities and Implicit Bias. Every system is created to resist change and reflect the cultural biases of the time. Many of our college programs, processes and practices have embedded bias that is often implicit and unintentional, yet still equally harmful. How can we surface systemic biases and address them for today’s standards and tomorrow’s students? This session will provide an opportunity to engage in authentic dialogue about the difficult conversations required to surface implicit bias and tools for assessment.

H ISTORY OF TH E QUE EN MARY

Construction began on the Queen Mary in 1930 in Clydebank, Scotland. Despite construction delays caused by the Great Depression, Cunard Line spared no expense on the luxury ocean liner. On May 27, 1936, the Queen Mary departed from Southampton, England on her maiden voyage and became the grandest ocean liner in the world, redefining transatlantic travel. The ship had five dining areas and lounges, two cocktail bars and swimming pools, a grand ballroom, a squash court, and a small hospital. In August of 1939, the Queen Mary made its final peacetime voyage. The Queen Mary was transformed into a troopship to aid in World War II. She was stripped of her luxurious amenities and painted a camouflaged grey color, earning the nickname “The Grey Ghost”. The Queen Mary was the largest and fastest troopship, able to transport as many as 16,000 troops at 30 knots. After the end of World War II, the Queen Mary was returned to her original glory, and on July 21, 1947, the Queen Mary resumed transatlantic passenger services. The ship sailed for nearly two more decades before the increase in air travel signaled the end of an era for the Queen Mary. The Queen Mary departed on her final cruise from Southampton, England on October 31, 1967, arriving in Long Beach, California, on December 9, 1967. In her retirement, the Queen Mary has seen 50 million visitors and become an icon in Southern California.

Noteworthy people aboard the Queen Mary: Bob Hope, Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, Elizabeth Taylor, Clark Gable, Greta Garbo, Audrey Hepburn, Lynne Redgrave, Walt Disney, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Winston Churchill, General Dwight Eisenhower, Queen Elizabeth, Jackie Kennedy, and Robert Kennedy.https://www.queenmary.com/history/
