November 1, 2016 Presented by Dr. Carole Goldsmith FCC Dream Center November 1, 2016 Presented by Dr. Carole Goldsmith

California Dream Act Combination of three bills: AB 540, AB 130, and AB 131 Allows undocumented and nonresident, documented students to be treated the same as resident students Pay resident fees Receive private scholarship, state financial aid,  fee waivers and state-sponsored Cal Grants Explain history as well as importance and implications

FCC Dream Center Opened in September 2015 Originally designed to provide information and academic counseling to new and continuing undocumented students at Fresno City College Service delivery focused on a walk-in model

FCC Dream Center Two part-time counselors were assigned to Dream Center Focus on assisting students with challenges so they may successfully complete career or transfer goals Majority of the students served are identified as Dreamers, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) or seeking AB 540 status

FCC Dream Center Since its inception in September 2015, the Dream Center has served 213 FCC enrolled students, 33 interested individuals and held over 600 counseling appointments. Nearly all students served by the Dream Center are Hispanic (99%)

FCC Dream Center – Student Demographics (n=213) Age Gender More younger students visited Dream Center (80% 24 or under) More females visited Dream Center

FCC Dream Center Students– Top Majors 15 Dream Center students received degrees/certificates during 2015-16

FCC Dream Center Student Achievement – GPA We compared students who came to Dream Center (n=213) vs. students who marked AB540 on application but did not come to the Dream Center (n=1,454) The difference is statistically significant (p<0.01) with a small effect size

FCC Dream Center Student Achievement – Course Success The difference is statistically significant (p<0.01) with a small effect size. Dream Center students also had a higher successful course completion rate (earning A, B, C, or Passing) than the comparison group

FCC Dream Center Student Achievement – Course Retention The difference is statistically significant (p<0.05) but the effect size is too small. Dream Center students also had a slightly higher course retention rate (% of students stayed in the class to the end of term) than the comparison group

FCC Dream Center – Monthly Visits (duplicated) Source: Dream Center sign-in sheets

Lessons Learned Lacking efficient data collection Integrate student appointment reservation system - SARS Work with IR to improve tracking Create internal information sharing Establish a formal code for Dreamers in college data management system-Ellucian Existing programs: EOPS and Puente and IR

Lessons Learned Initial focus was limited and Place-bound Research has shown that follow-up services are needed for sustainable success Staff has now changed service delivery to include follow-up Host workshops

Lessons Learned Missing coordinated outreach plan Focus on existing Dreamers Connect with existing programs Work with PIO to develop an awareness campaign using social media Recruit undocumented students to serve as mentors Existing programs: EOPS and Puente and IR

Pathway to Improvement Designate a Champion Intentionally connect institutional goals with Dream Center goals Use an intrusive advising model Mobilize student leaders Continue to evaluate and implement Lessons Learned
