We were able to discuss tangible action items. https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921513247 2020-11-13 19:18:58 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921513247 We need to make sure students are represented in our faculty, staff, and curriculum! And ensure our campus climate is welcoming and communicates that students belong. Community building and implicit bias training for all staff will help address some of these equity gaps. https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921513875 2020-11-13 19:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921513875 More opportunities to talk about our disaggregated data and the college's priorities as it relates to this are needed. https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921514357 2020-11-13 19:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921514357 We need to make it a priority to hire Black faculty. We have huge equity gaps, particularly with Black male students. We can do better; much better. https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921514470 2020-11-13 19:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921514470 Final Reflections: https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921514716 I believe discussions and reflections went well and it was productive. Thanks for your time. ]]> 2020-11-13 19:19:22 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921514716 Cuyamaca Really Cares https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921514744 This workshop really helps communicate just how much Cuyamaca really cares about serving our students. We are all in this together and we are really willing to help each other. We need to keep working together to make things move forward.]]> 2020-11-13 19:19:22 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921514744 This was very helpful and needed! It is nice to know that the organization is consciously speaking and working on these concerns! https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921515981 2020-11-13 19:19:41 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921515981 Closing Thoughts https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921517293 Very informative data about our campus. It really encourages us to work harder and make our students feel like they belong especially with our virtual environment now. We also need to encourage campus wide representation to spread and increase student success. ]]> 2020-11-13 19:20:00 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921517293 I appreciate the opportunity to talk and think about these topics. It really takes the academic side and the student services side to figure out how to make sense of these issues and create change. https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921517612 2020-11-13 19:20:05 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921517612 More work needs to be done to change some of our policies that create barriers to student, thank you for doing this. https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921518123 2020-11-13 19:20:13 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921518123 High School https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921520102 There should be presentations at high schools about the certificates you can  achieve at the GCCCD. Also the programs on the GCCCD campus as well. A majority of students come to community college without being aware of EOPS, RISE, UP, PATHWAY ACADEMY etc. ]]> 2020-11-13 19:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921520102 More Smooth Connections https://padlet.com/miriamgraf/closingthoughts/wish/921523496 We need smoother partnerships between classrooms/instructors and student services. We need to streamline things to make things smoother and less redundant for when we do use class time to communicate services and resources to students.
