How does your faculty view community college education? • I believe the view varies by discipline • My personal opinion is that community colleges, when they teach Statistics, tend to be too focused on the math/arithmetic.

Are our students prepared for the CSU curriculum after attending LMC? • That probably depends on the discipline. • I cannot say I’ve had any experience with LMC students in Statistics, either as a major or in my courses.

What could LMC do to ensure our students have greater success at CSU East Bay? • (My opinion) Ensure students have experience writing, preferably within their intended majors.

What sort of additional partnerships could be created between LMC and CSU to improve the success of our African American and Latino Male Students? • CSUEB wants to improve the success of all our students. President Morishita set an ambitious goal of improving graduation rates across the board

What sort of additional partnerships could be created between LMC and CSU to improve the success of our African American and Latino Male Students? • Faculty members have cited low graduation rates, particularly for African American males, as a call to action.

What sort of additional partnerships could be created…? • I sit on the Student Retention and Graduation Subcommittee and we have identified the University Writing Skills Requirement as the main hurdle to graduation (hence, my earlier recommendation to include substantial writing) • Could advising be aligned?

What sort of additional partnerships could be created…? • Are students, particularly Latino/a, aware of GANAS? http: //www 20. csueastbay. edu/class/ganas/
