WARRIOR FIGHT SONG
Fight on for Stanislaus.
Be strong and brave and bold.
Fight on for victory.
Defend our colors red and gold.
Fight on for our great name.
We are the strongest and the best.
Fight on defend our fame.
We are the Warriors of the West.
Fight on For Stanislaus (1977) / Warriors of the West (2011) Music by Reuben R. Sendejas Words by Alice F. Worsley Composition, revised in 2011, by Scott McGlassonIntroduction and Overview of Stanislaus State
California State University, Stanislaus: A Sense of Place, Inclusion, Transformation, and Future (Excerpts from Strategic Plan 2017-2025)
The Stanislaus State community clearly knows who they are and shares a strong bond of Warrior pride in the work of the University. Students, faculty, staff and administrators know that University programs change students’ lives and shape the Central Valley in fundamental ways. Together, Stanislaus State overcomes continual challenges to provide educational access to a geographically large six-county region of students who are often underserved and at-risk in numerous ways. The community has seen the institution mature in stature, grow its enrollment, raise the quality of its programs, sustain high faculty density, and yield student graduation rates higher than nearly half of the institutions in the 23-campus CSU system. Interwoven with this identity is the knowledge that the campus stands out as a physical space, known as one of the region’s picturesque treasures, with campus buildings set among lakes, a reflection pond and waterfowl in a truly park-like setting. Part of the campus identity comes from its location in the Central Valley, with its rural setting, diverse population and cultural traditions. There is a symbiotic relationship between the campus and the community it serves, along with a deep sense of responsibility for strengthening the Central Valley by advancing the competitiveness of the region. The sense of place includes the University’s success in building sustainable and vibrant communities. Values and culture define this sense of place and expand the campus identity beyond the Central Valley and the state. Campus programs are simultaneously global in scope and vision as well as rooted in the Valley. Collectively, these sentiments contribute to Warrior pride. There is a special feeling and an exceptional spirit essential to being a Warrior. Warrior pride links the campus community to its past traditions and provides a launching pad to a future where the University is a place of unbounded opportunity and innovation.

STANISLAUS STATE’S CSU COMPARISON GROUP
The President's cabinet at Stanislaus State selected a group of peer and aspirational institutions among the CSU system for purposes of comparison in this book. A typical exercise in selecting peers often involves identifying a comparison group that is similar in enrollment, mix of programs, location, graduation rates and other variables in the country as a whole. However, for this publication it was decided that there were several advantages to limiting the selection of a comparison group to institutions within the CSU system. The regional audience for this publication has a deeper understanding of how Stanislaus State stacks up against other system schools. Selecting perfectly matched peers from the East Coast, the Midwest or other regions may have left the audience uncertain about why an unfamiliar school was selected for comparison. The large CSU system with its 23 unique campuses provided meaningful and reasonable choices in its own right. The CSUs represent a tightly-knit system, share a similar history, and in many ways experience an interdependent future and growth potential. Finally, faculty, staff, students and their families are often associated with multiple CSUs over their careers, thus making it easy for them to relate to sister campuses in the system. It is for these reasons that it made sense to pick a comparison group from within the system.
The CSU institutions chosen to be part of the Stanislaus State comparison group are Bakersfield, East Bay, Fresno, Monterey Bay, San Bernardino, and San Francisco.
In selecting the comparison group the President’s cabinet paid attention to institutional characteristics that are especially meaningful for an unimpacted campus community. These include high percentages of undergraduates who are first-generation college students, Pell Grant recipients, and Traditionally Underrepresented Minorities (URM). Additionally, some share the same Carnegie Classification (Master’s), all are Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), and half meet Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISI) criteria. The table below contains various college and student characteristics along with the year associated with the statistic, generally the fall term, and the following map displays the geographic locations of the campuses. All tables and figures throughout the Book of Trends that contain comparison data for Stan State’s CSU peer institutions are denoted with the “Peer Comps” marker as displayed in Table 1.1 below.

Table 2.1 | Stanislaus State Headcount (HC) and Full-Time Equivalent Student (FTES) Enrollment Compared to CSU Campus Total, 5-Year Trend
HIGHLIGHTS
• Stanislaus State’s headcount enrollment only slightly increased over the past five years, while FTES enrollment decreased; both headcount and FTES enrollment for the CSU campus total decreased over the past five years.
• The FTES to headcount ratio was on an upward trend for both the Stanislaus campus and CSU campus total through fall 2020, an indication that students were increasingly taking higher unit loads, however the ratio decreased for fall 2021.
• Stanislaus State continues to comprise about two percent of the CSU total headcount and FTES enrollment.

TABLE 2.2 | Stanislaus State Stockton Campus Headcount (HC) and Full-Time Equivalent Student (FTES) Enrollment Compared to Stanislaus State Total, 5-Year Trend
HIGHLIGHTS
• The Stockton Campus headcount represents the unduplicated number of Stanislaus State students enrolled in at least one Stockton course in each fall semester displayed. While the Stockton Campus headcount and FTES enrollment has been increasing annually, the large increase in fall 2020 is inflated due to the transition to remote instruction that occurred during spring 2020. The fall 2021 Stockton campus enrollment is inflated as well.
• It is important to note that enrollments in the above table represent state-supported students and therefore would be higher if self-supported degree-seeking students were included, particularly the Stockton Campus total with the addition of the Stockton Executive MBA cohorts, and ASBSN and BASS (Bachelor of Science in Social Sciences) programs offered exclusively at the Stockton Campus.

TABLE 2.3 | Enrollment by Degree Level and Academic Level, 5-Year Trend
HIGHLIGHTS
• Fall enrollment decreased by 6.6% overall and 7.4% at the undergraduate level in the past year. The largest declines among undergraduate students were first-year/freshmen and sophomore level.
• Over the past five years, overall enrollment increased slightly by 0.2%, undergraduate enrollment increased by 0.5%, and graduate/postbac enrollment decreased by 1.7%.

1. For this table the source of the grant funding, that is federal, state, etc., is the direct source from where the University receives the funding. Many times federal dollars are passed through state or local governments to the University. For this table grant money that is passed through state and local government is counted as state and local grants. Consequently, dollars tracked in this fashion changes the appearance of the true source of the funding from the federal government to state and local governments.

At Stanislaus State,
• We use the power of education, community, and civic engagement to transform lives.
• Student success occurs when we engage and support our students in a quest for knowledge and understanding that encourages and empowers them to identify their personal goals and professional aspirations. Successful students strive to make their own unique contributions to our diverse world.
• We support our students by expanding opportunities and enriching experiences that broaden their awareness of others’ perspectives and develop their intellectual capacity and ethical character.
• Student success is achieved when our students can imagine a better world and are empowered to make it a reality within the Central Valley region and beyond.

Student Engagement and Student Life
Despite the pandemic, programs under the umbrella of Student Engagement and Well-being continued to provide an array of essential support services and opportunities for student engagement both online and in-person. Basic Needs provided direct services to students even when most departments and services retreated to the virtual world. During the 2021-22 academic year, Food distributions returned to near pre-pandemic levels, and enrollment in CalFresh doubled in 2021-22, with nearly 800 students signing up. Campus Cares, which received a significant infusion of Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) dollars, provided grants to just over 1,500 students to support food, housing, medical, and other essential needs. Basic Needs oversaw the Warriors Take Care Team (WTC) and provided COVID-19 care and support to nearly 2,000 students. Professional staff provided case management and individualized guidance and composed campus communication in compliance with state regulations. The team also included 45 student ambassadors stationed in facilities across the campus. They encouraged individuals to do their part to keep the community safe, including completing daily screenings and masking indoors.
COVID-19 required the university to rethink how physical and mental health care services were provided. In 2021-22, teletherapy remained the primary delivery mode for Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), with nearly 3,200 sessions (62% of visits) conducted via secure Zoom session, followed by almost 10% of sessions occurring via phone. At the pandemic’s start, the Student Health Center successfully pivoted to telehealth as its primary service delivery method. The serendipitous benefit of this shift was increased access for students at the Stockton Campus. In spring 2022, while in-person appointments returned, telehealth visits continued to be the primary mode of service delivery chosen by students. In spring 2022, the Student Health Center successfully underwent the reaccreditation process. The Health Education Program, part of the Student Health Center, planned 170 programs and activities and had over 2,400 student contacts in-person and face-to-face.
Throughout the pandemic, Housing and Residential Life (HRL) provided shelter, support, and safe opportunities for student engagement. In the fall of 2021, 332 students lived on campus, and 90% of them remained for the spring 2022 semester. In the spring of 2022, this number of residents rose to 452. Summer residents increased by 300% HRL sponsored over 300 student engagement and educational programs and hosted more than 2,100 academic advising appointments. Upgrades to lighting provided better illumination and reduced energy use, while improvements to Wi-Fi ensured access to online learning throughout the Villages. Despite operating for much of the year in the virtual world, student engagement was a top priority for departments. In the summer of 2021, 2,500 students participated in the summer orientation sessions, and more than 730 new students participated in the spring of 2022 orientation. Recognized student organizations hosted 847 student activities, and twenty-six student organization presidents attended the virtual president’s retreat. SLD also hosted the Marvalene Hughes Leadership Conference and Student Leadership Awards in the spring of 2022. The Warrior Cross Cultural Center (WCCC) successfully hosted modified events and activities (hybrid, in-person, virtual), fostering a sense of belonging and emotional support for nearly 3,000 students during the 2021-22 academic year, not including the 7,560 viewers from social media events. The WCCC was awarded a $20,000 CSU Equity in Action Grant to support the Male Success Initiative peer mentorship program. They also coordinated and co-hosted the regional Project 1300, which aims to increase the enrollment of men of color from the North Central San Joaquin Valley at higher education institutions.
Some of the student engagement and well-being team’s greatest successes are their efforts to ensure equitable services to students at the Stockton Campus. The 2022-23 academic year will see the opening of the food pantry, expanded recreational services, and a full-time mental health counselor dedicated to the Stockton Campus.
Warrior Athletics
The Department of Athletics is committed to creating an environment where individuals and teams reach their full potential and become a source of University and community pride. The Department motivates behavior that fosters academic achievement, self-discipline, group loyalty, sportsmanship, personal integrity, hard work, perseverance, and pride of accomplishment. Athletics believes these qualities lead to the attainment of skills necessary for success in academics, athletics, and most importantly, life-long learning.

Health & Wellness - Health Education and Promotion
The Health Education and Promotion (HEP) department leads initiatives, advocates for a health-promoting community, and engages campus and community partnerships to support student wellness and academic success.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR 2021-22
• The Peer Health Educators (PHE) were awarded the President’s Trophy at the Student Leadership & Development Awards Ceremony. The President’s Trophy is awarded to the student organization with the most impressive philanthropic service record for the year, demonstrating dedicated leadership and service to the university or community. The membership has made service an integral part of their college experience. Altogether, the Peer Health Educators facilitated 38 activities and volunteered a collective 395.5 hours during the 2021-22 academic year.
• HEP successfully implemented a Social Norming Campaign with campus partners. Social Norming is an evidence-informed practice focusing on positive messages about healthy behaviors and attitudes common to most people in a group. Often, college students overestimate unhealthy behaviors and underestimate healthy behaviors, influencing their perception of normative expectations (social norms). The social norms approach uses accurate information that can lead to changes in perceptions of social norms and, in turn, lead to students engaging in healthier behaviors.
• During the 2021-22 academic year, HEP hosted 167 educational trainings, workshops, and outreach activities with 2,430 contacts with students. Additionally, the program created health and wellness content for 16 editions of campus newsletters, totaling 10,882 views from students. Through the @StanState_HEP Instagram account, had 391 activities, including posts and stories, reaching 46,487 students on this platform. The program also had 8,519 website views.
SERVICE INDICATORS
*Educational training & workshops include workshops and certificate training like Step-UP! Bystander Intervention training and Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) training.
**Outreach activities include tabling and all informal requests for HEP presence at collaborative events.
***Educational newsletters include Campus Well eMagazine and The Verve Housing & Residential Life newsletter.
****Social media includes Instagram “reach” analytics, which provides for story views. This number does not reflect followers.
*****Office appointments and walk-ins were not tracked this year due to remote work, but will track this in the future.
******Website analytics include total page views.
Health & Wellness – Counseling and Psychological Services
Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) strives to facilitate excellent mental health and well-being through maximizing the psychological development of all members of the campus community. CAPS assists students to maximize academic success, plan for fulfilling careers, experience satisfying social relationships, and maintain a positive sense of self.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR 2021-22
• CAPS supported the work of the research study – “The Lived Experiences of CSU Stanislaus Students Experiencing Food and/or Housing Insecurities.” The CAPS team met with the team and the Director of Basic Needs to review their findings and recommendations. CAPS continue to meet with the research team to discuss implementing their recommendations, i.e., a support group and collaborative outreach activities with Basic Needs.
• CAPS worked to develop a Practicum Intern Program (PIP) for graduate students from the university’s Master of Social Work (MSW), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Marriage Family Therapist (MFT) programs. Discussions with program leaders regarding the students’ needs occurred over time, resulting in implementation slated to begin during the 2022-23 academic year. Without a formal public announcement, 15 students contacted CAPS and interviewed with the department for two student intern positions. The CAPS Practicum Intern Program will launch its program in August 2022.
• CAPS this year accomplished bringing a variety of community speakers on campus to highlight important topics for students and faculty, including suicide prevention, eating disorders and early psychosis intervention specialists. In collaboration with Associated Students Incorporated (ASI), Basic Needs, and Student Affairs, these experts provided critical information to enhance specific issues of impairment to the college student population. They brought awareness to important trends plaguing universities throughout California and the nation. CAPS provided additional engagement opportunities/groups to highlight these topics to enhance student life on campus and promote healthy well-being.
• CAPS has broadened its services to students attending the Stockton Campus through the implementation of telehealth (Zoom) and telephone sessions. The CAPS Director also presented at the campus’s Mental Health Awareness event.
• Increased outreach to the Stockton Campus and community. The CAPS director worked with ASI for the Stockton Mental Health Awareness Day; the Stockton Campus Faculty and Staff meetings; and met with Dean Harrison to plan for an on-site counselor. Starting fall 2022, a new counselor will offer in-person counseling sessions, groups, workshops, and presentations.
• Targeted recruitment Stockton area was implemented to attract professionals with ties to the community and Stockton Campus. The CAPS Director rewrote the counselor job description to attract professionals with specializations and certifications in much-needed areas to address the needs of the Stockton Campus student population. Due to the enhanced job description and minimum requirements, the position was posted as an SSP-AR II instead of the typical recruitment SSP-AR-I.
SERVICE INDICATORS
Summer 2021 - Spring 2022
Health & Wellness – Student Health Center
The Student Health Center (SHC) seeks to foster a healthy campus community where students may pursue their academic and career goals, and assist them in their development of becoming wise, lifelong healthcare participants. To accomplish this, the SHC provides quality, evidence-based healthcare, preventative services, health education, and advocacy.
Despite the challenges the pandemic presented, SHC offered students uninterrupted access to health care via telehealth and face-to-face services. Additionally, SHC partnered with other Student Affairs departments by providing support services deemed essential for student well-being and success.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR 2021-22
• Successfully completed all requirements to retain Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) accreditation for another three-year term in October 2021.
• Implemented an after-hours Nurse Advice Line to provide supplementary care options for students that need medical advice outside of normal operating hours in fall 2021.
SERVICE INDICATORS
• Reopened in-person services to students in March of 2022 after successfully installing a new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The previous HVAC system was outdated and resulted in the need for constant repairs and maintenance by facilities.
The Student Health Center (SHC) building was closed from November 8, 2021, until March 14, 2022, for the HVAC renovation project, affecting all in-person services. The SHC does not have a report that separates service indicators by students that attend the Turlock campus versus Stockton. The SHC does not offer any services onsite at the Stockton Campus. However, the SHC offers telehealth services to all students in California; lab services are available at Quest locations throughout California at the same fee rate as those received in the SHC. All prescriptions can be sent to any pharmacy that the student prefers.
Basic Needs
The Basic Needs Department supports student success both inside and outside the classroom by implementing a campus-wide approach to respond to student hunger, housing insecurity, safety, and mental and physical health. These Basic Needs initiatives support students’ persistence, time to degree, degree completion and decrease the equity gap.
Programs include:
• The Warrior Food Pantry
• Stockton Campus Pop-Up Warrior Food Pantry
• Food Distribution
• CalFresh application assistance
ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR 2021-22
• Campus Cares Emergency Grant
• Emergency housing placements
• Emergency meal cards
• Non-clinical case management
• The Basic Needs team partnered with on and off-campus groups to not only maintain but expand the Basic Needs programs to address students' food and housing insecurity at the Turlock campus. Programs include the Warrior Food Pantry, Stockton Campus Pop-Up Warrior Food Pantry, Food Distribution, CalFresh application assistance, Campus Cares student emergency fund, emergency housing placements, emergency meal cards, and nonclinical case management. These Basic Needs initiatives support students' persistence, time until degree completion, and decrease equity gaps.
• Basic Needs provided COVID-19 care and support for students. A total of 1,923 students submitted the COVID-19 reporting form to access support, case management, and guidance related to COVID-19. In addition, the Warriors Take Care Team of 45 student ambassadors encouraged individuals to do their part in following University COVID-19 safety guidelines, promoting healthy and safe behaviors, and increasing awareness of the services available to students at nine designated campus locations.
• Basic Needs fortified partnerships with faculty in the Master of Social Work program to develop and launch a Basic Needs Ambassador Team. The Ambassadors are a trained student-led group coordinating targeted outreach events and basic needs awareness campaigns alongside professional staff. This partnership maximized opportunities to increase awareness of the Basic Needs services and provided co-curricular experiences for four graduate interns that contributed 2,000 unpaid hours to supporting the Basic Needs programs. The following table indicates that the activity is achieving its desired effect because of the number of additional campus and community constituents aware of the Basic Needs services.

Student Equity and Success Highlights
Despite the challenges presented by the global COVID-19 pandemic, 2021-22 was distinguished from other years by the significant accomplishments Student Success departments made in promoting student enrollment, engagement, equity, retention, and completion.
One of the prime examples of these efforts was the implementation and expansion of the Warrior Connect student success platform which enabled students to benefit from being able to much more easily connect with faculty and staff advisors, while also helping academic advisors, faculty, and other staff to create a truly coordinated network for student success. Through Warrior Connect over 20,000 appointments were facilitated in 2021-22, and countless campaigns were undertaken to connect students to information on everything from upcoming activities to how to return to college. In total since the launch of Warrior Connect almost 100,000 emails and texts and over 17,000 progress reports have been sent, with professors providing feedback over 8,000 times.
In addition to playing a key role in the expansion of Warrior Connect the Academic Success Center (ASC) also oversaw the expansion of the “First Gen Fridays” program, a workshop series designed to foster a sense of belonging among Stanislaus State First-Gen students. Attendance in the program was up 57% to 485 participants in 2021-22. The Academic Success Center (ASC) also played a critical role in promoting the success of transfer students, collaborating with Enrollment Services on the development of pre-NSO workshops, which helped over 600 transfer students make a smooth transition to Stan State. Similarly, the Career and Professional Development Center (CPDC) made significant contributions to student retention, completion, and transition to the workforce. For example, CPDC supported students to become “career ready” by providing the over 6,000 students enrolled in CareerReadyU (CRU) with support connecting with alumni, employers, and opportunities to integrate the academic experience with professional experience. CDCP also served 8,088 employers in recruitment and education related opportunities via HIREStanState job & internship listings, virtual information sessions, virtual career fairs, online panel discussions and employer consultations in 2021-22 academic year.
Additional examples of efforts to promote student success included Disability Resource Services offering a Transitioning from College to Work symposium, and Project Rebound instituting a scholars program, which contributed to the Stan State Project Rebound program having the highest GPA of any Project Rebound program in the state. Furthermore, examinations of the efficacy of the programs, and participant feedback also suggested these student success efforts were helping bridge gaps. For instance, an examination of 2019 first time freshman cohort data suggested one of the strongest predictors of student persistence at CSU Stanislaus was participation in the TRiO Student Support Services (SSS) program. The examination found that of the first-time freshmen who enrolled in the program in 2019, over 90% were still enrolled at the college. Meanwhile data collected from participants via surveys and session evaluations indicated that 95% of students participating in Learning Commons services found them useful in achieving their academic goals. Furthermore, 96% shared they were more confident in their abilities to learn in their courses after attending tutoring/Supplemental Instruction (SI) sessions.
Overall, Student Success departments made significant strides in supporting students to identify and reach their academic and career goals in 2021-22.
Academic Success Center
The Academic Success Center (ASC) provides high quality academic advising to the campus community that is accurate, consistent and timely. The department contributes to student success by guiding students to develop meaningful educational plans compatible with their career and life goals.

Health & Wellness - Disability Resource Services
Disability Resource Services (DRS) supports student success by facilitating processes that foster student inclusion in all aspects of the collegiate experience. This is done by reducing/eliminating barriers, whether they are attitudinal, structural, programmatic or otherwise. In doing so, students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to become successful through their own efforts and not held back by artificial barriers. The department strives to create partnerships with students, faculty, staff, and other university and community offices by creating awareness and training on disability-related issues as well as providing information and referral services.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR 2021-22
• Established a relationship with Ohlone College to serve as an internship site for its American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreter training program.

Learning Commons
Learning Commons provides academic support to all CSU Stanislaus students. The department strives to create an open environment of learning for all students. Services include free one-on-one and group tutoring in all disciplines and at all levels of proficiency, as well as supplemental instruction and the writing center
ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR 2021-22
• During the pandemic, the Learning Commons made significant improvements to the quality of online and in-person learning support. These efforts included the development of asynchronous training videos and utilized new software tools to create engaging and high impact learning experiences for tutoring and Supplemental Instruction (SI) students. Staff also used technologies in new facilities, including interactive whiteboards and video conferencing services, to engage students in learning tasks and with each other. A new collaboration with the College of Science provided specialized learning support services for underrepresented first-generation students through the ASPIRE grant.
• While many of the traditional campus testing services have been paused due to COVID-19 and system-wide changes in testing requirements, Learning Commons has continued to offer testing services for the Nursing and Pre-Nursing programs. Once a permanent testing coordinator is hired, work will resume developing a strategic plan for testing services at CSU Stanislaus. This will include assessing campus and community needs, researching innovative models, and touring other CSU campus facilities.
• In spring 2022, the mission, vision, and values for the Learning Commons was finalized. The mission building process began in 2021 with input from students, faculty, and staff in the department. In 2022, the development process was reviewed along with the data collected from students, staff, administrators, deans, and faculty. This method allowed the inclusion of the Stan State community in the mission building process. A frequent process of review and reflection will be undertaken as the mission is shared and adjusted periodically to meet the changing needs of students. As the Learning Commons builds a full staff team, additional staff input will be included in this iterative process. Because cultural inclusivity is valued, the plan will be revisited, and Learning Commons will recenter the values by using perspectives from the diverse student body. Learning Commons will share and refine its mission and values, in a culturally inclusive way by validating the strengths of students (Yosso, 2005; Rendón & Muñoz, 2011) and acknowledging how they are contributing to the mission.
SERVICE INDICATORS
Service indicators include both Stockton and Turlock students. The COVID-19 pandemic and online coursework has erased some distinctions between Turlock and Stockton students. Students from both campuses are enrolled in Turlock and Stockton based courses. Learning Commons have initiated the creation of a data dashboard which can help better identify Stockton student data.

• Re-opened student lab and lounge area for in-person use by SSS participants. Use of Warrior Connect allowed for contactless check-in and checkout, while also facilitating a mechanism for contact tracing in the event of COVID-19 exposure. In-person appointments with all staff were also reinstituted for students.
• Recent data analysis conducted indicated TRIO SSS participation and a statistically significant student success metric. Data showed all but two program participants for fall 2019 were retained. Of the two non-enrolled students, one transferred institution and the other took a planned semester of nonenrollment.
SERVICE INDICATORS
Data compilation for the 2021-22 Annual Performance Report spans student data for fall 2021, spring 2022, and summer 2022. Because summer is an included term and persistence is contingent on fall 2022 enrollment, these metrics cannot yet be calculated. The Annual Performance Report submission to the U.S. Department of Education will be due late fall 2022. Below is a snapshot of contacts and service participation for 2020-21.
* Email and email campaigns exclude informational messages about upcoming events.

PHILANTHROPIC AND PARTNERSHIPS HIGHLIGHTS
• University Advancement (UA) began in 2021-22, announcing the conclusion of President Junn’s five-year, $15 million fundraising target, raising $16.1M, and restarting the gift-commitment count at zero. For the year ending June 30, 2022, UA recorded a preliminary Total Gift Commitment of $2.33 million, below UA’s goal of $3.25 million but up 34% from 2020-21 and 36% from 2019-20. Fundraising performance has been handicapped by vacancies in the Development unit and the shuttering of on-campus fundraising events, such as the Warrior Crab Feed and Vines.
• Since shuttering the student-call center and signature fundraising events in 2019-20, UA has experienced a decline in Total Alumni Donors and Total Individual Donors – both down from prepandemic highs by 81% and 65%, respectively.
• The completion of a six-month micro-campaign for our newly renovated J. Burton Vasche Library was a highlight in 2021-22, raising $1 million from over 200 donors to support technology, furnishings, and innovation.
• University Advancement continued to see strong philanthropic support from President Junn who committed a new $50,000 naming gift with her husband, Dr. Allan Greenberg. This gift is in addition to her original $50,000 gift in 2017-18, which seeded the President’s Central Valley First-Generation Scholars program.
• With philanthropic metrics dropping and the onboarding of a new and growing Development team planned, UA retained CCS Fundraising in January 2022 with a focus on improving major gift fundraising capacity and efficiency. UA began by migrating to Raisers Edge NXT this spring and conducting analytics and predictive modeling on 24,165 records (total database is 82,093 records), yielding over 3,500 prospects with a $100,000 gift capacity.
TABLE 5.1 | Philanthropic/Advancement Performance Metrics, 5-Year Trend
• The Campus Cares initiative (Food Insecurity and Student Emergency Fund) was another favorite of donors in 2021-22, bringing in $223,602 in private support. Since institutionalizing Campus Cares in 2016-17, UA has received more than $650,000 from over 1,000 donors. And, at the conclusion of 2021-22, UA received news from the Stanislaus Chapter of the California Faculty Association leadership of plans to appeal to their membership to increase the CFA Campus Cares Endowment and grow it to $100,000. *Adjusted

Resident FTES Enrollment Targets and Reported Actuals, 5-Year Trend
HIGHLIGHTS
• Stanislaus State’s resident FTES target for 2021-22 was 8,127, which included an additional 115 FTES from the prior year target. Stanislaus State consistently exceeded its resident FTES enrollment target through 2020-21 but fell short of the 2021-22 target by less than one percent.
• While first-time freshmen applications have declined for the first time in recent years starting 2019, first-time transfer applications have remained steady.
• The Stanislaus campus is one of eight CSU campuses that were not impacted during 2021-22. The tools used to control enrollment is enforcing all admission requirements and established dates and deadlines, including application, testing, transcript , enrollment confirmation, New Student Orientation registration, and New Student Orientation attendance. Very few exceptions are made and generally only for athletes and veterans.

The Chancellor’s Office allocated the Stanislaus campus an additional 115 FTES for 2021-22.
KEY: FRESHMAN TRANSFER
HIGHLIGHT
• The resident only state-supported fall term FTES to headcount ratio was increasing annually but declined for fall 2021.
HIGHLIGHTS
• A larger number of first-time freshmen compared to firsttime transfers typically enter in fall terms. However with spring entrants included, the number of new transfers exceeds the number of new freshmen for the entire academic year, as has been the case over the past five years with the exception of 2018-19.
• A larger number of new transfers is again expected in 2022-23, and more so due to a smaller incoming fall freshmen class.

Stanislaus State’s Warriors on the Way (WOW) Program
Created to inspire and energize students who see themselves as future Warriors.
BACKGROUND
Evidence of a strong intersegmental cause for regional collaboration to increase college-going rates and graduation rates is seen championed with the California State University systemwide’s push to raise 4-year degree attainment and transfer graduation rates (see Table 6.31) through Graduation Rate Initiatives. Similarly, the California Community College systemwide are pursuing goals that prepare transfer students to succeed in 4-year degree programs through initiatives like Guided Pathways, College Promise/Dual Enrollment, 15-to-Finish and the new CCC Funding Formula. These policy initiatives coupled with the region’s higher education leaders and proponents will address the region’s low educational attainment (see Table 6.32) were the catalyst for meaningful change.
TABLE 6.31 |
Stanislaus State’s vision for a reimagined Warriors on the Way (WOW)1 program – one that would create a seamless ecosystem for students who traverse the boundaries of local community colleges to Stan State – came to fruition with collaborative support from the campus community, regional community college partners, and regional and state partnerships, including the College Futures Foundation. The College Futures Foundation awarded the University a total of $864,000 in grant funding, including a six-month planning grant award in the amount of $186,000 during 2018-19, and a two-year implementation grant award in the amount of $678,000 effective 2019-20. The grant was extended through 2022-23 to allow Stanislaus State to reallocate funding for other activities to support transfer students since previously planned activities were canceled during campus closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A portion of the grant is funded by the James Irvine Foundation in partnership with the College Futures Foundation to increase postsecondary success for California’s low-income students.

WOW OVERVIEW
The Warriors on the Way (WOW) Program provides a clear transfer pathway to students from the University’s regional community college partners –Merced College, Modesto Junior College, and San Joaquin Delta College – by providing robust activities and services designed to increase the number of students who transfer to Stanislaus State with an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) and increase the University’s transfer retention and graduation rates.
2021-2022 WOW PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
• Evaluation Services: A full time evaluator was hired to work exclusively with prospective transfer students prior to matriculation and enrollment. This position works closely with the WOW program, providing transcript evaluations to students from Merced College, Modesto Junior College, and San Joaquin Delta College.
• Pre-admission Advising: WOW counselors, stationed at partner community colleges four days per week, hosted over 500 advising appointments. Students can make in-person and virtual appointments with their WOW counselor to learn about the transfer process, create a transfer plan, and individualized support through all phases of the transfer process.
• Application Support: Committed to helping students with their transfer journey, WOW admission counselors hosted 20 application workshops in Fall 2021 to provide students with individualized support with their CSU application.
• Next Steps Workshops: WOW counselors taught admitted students the steps to take to successfully matriculate and enroll at Stanislaus State through online and in-person workshops. Students walk away from these workshops with a developed understanding of important dates and deadlines, how to accept their admission, and the importance of New Student Orientation.
• WOW Transfer Achievement Celebration: Stanislaus State celebrated the successful transfer of WOW scholars during the University’s inaugural WOW Transfer Achievement Celebrations hosted at the Turlock and Stockton campuses spring 2022. These events allowed WOW scholars to connect with each other, meet Transfer Peer Mentors, and learn about campus resources, and enjoy a campus tour.

HIGHLIGHTS
• The 2021-22 numbers are the counts of teaching credentials to be recommended for credential, as reported to the CSU Chancellor’s Office by the Stanislaus State Credential Services Offices. The actual number of 2021-22 teaching credentials that will be issued by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing are currently not available.
• Current counts for 2021-22 show decreases in multiple subject and single subject credentials compared to the prior year due to Reading Instruction Competence Assessment (RICA) and/or Teacher Performance Assessment (TPA) now being required. Due to the pandemic during 2020-21, teaching credentials were able to be recommended without these exams due to COVID -19 flexibilities.

University Strategic Plan 2017-2025
Tracking Year 5 (2021-22)
Top Achievements by Division, 2021-22
DIVISION OF ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
1. Successfully submitted the WASC Interim Report for Stockton. The report was received by the commission with overwhelming positivity and will help set the stage for the next chapter at the Stockton Campus which includes a new building, new and expanded academic programs and student services, as well as a renewed commitment to the San Joaquin region.
2. Completed successful searches for the Deans of Extended and International Education, College of Business Administration, College of Education, Kinesiology and Social Work, Interim Dean for the College of Science, and the permanent AVP for Academic Affairs.
3. Established the Academic Affairs: What You Need to Know weekly publication to improve communication of critical information for faculty and Academic Affairs staff. The publication has an average open rate of 46% with some editions having open rates of up to 57%.
4. The Post-masters Certificate in Psychiatric Nursing was approved by the Chancellor’s Office, launching a pathway for family nurse practitioners holding a master’s degree in nursing to specialization of additional advanced practice content, in psychiatric mental health. The program is designed to strengthen and broaden the clinical capabilities of family nurse practitioners who want to deepen their understanding and competency in providing mental health interventions for their medical patients.
5. Moved the Community Equity Research Center under the Division of Academic Affairs to provide increased institutional support to their mission to be a hub for participatory action research supporting equity, inclusion and the development of knowledge in the pursuit of social justice in the Central Valley.
DIVISION OF BUSINESS & FINANCE
1. COVID-19 Prevention and Mitigation. Safety and Risk Management continued COVID-19 campus monitoring, planning, preparation, communication, and implementation of prevention and mitigation strategies. This was all in an effort to ensure campus community safety and to meet Cal/OSHA Emergency Temporary Standards.
2. The Capital Planning team completed the facilitation and management on the renovation of the Vasché Library Building.
3. The Sustainability team collaborated on the design of campus e-waste recycling receptacles following best practices for recycling that included accessibility, visibility, standardization of receptacles, and ease of use.
4. The Facilities Management team refreshed classrooms in Demergasso Bava Hall, Fieldhouse and Fieldhouse Annex, replacing carpet and painting. They also coordinated replacement of classroom furniture.
5. Financial and Support Services implemented the automation of the P-Card workflow and approval processes, replacing manual paper process. Project resulted in efficiencies and savings from reduced paper use, storage of records, and time to file, validate records, and improved audit and reporting capabilities.
6. The central University Budget Office completed and implemented the campus Budget Oversight Policy. This policy allows for the facilitation of greater transparency of the budget review process and projected spending against allocations.
Office of Information Technology (OIT)
7. Classroom Technology Upgrades. OIT successfully completed Phase I of our classroom upgrades, bringing 30 classrooms to the new Zoom Room Standard. Phase II is in progress with 27 additional rooms currently staging for upgrades during winter break. A Demo Room in DBH provides hands-on technology for faculty to explore the new classroom technology.
8. Stan State Mobile App for both iPhone and Android was successfully launched on our new Stan State Mobile application. Students now have direct access to all their Student Information including the ability to add classes, view grades, holds and To Do items, all from within the app.
University Police Department (UPD)
9. UPD partnered with the Stockton Campus to assess and recommend major changes to the safety infrastructure of the campus. Implemented recommendations which included the addition of electronically controlled door locks, upgraded and additional lighting in the parking lots to increase visibility, security cameras added to the exterior and public areas in the Acacia Hall, and better visibility for the contracted security services.
10. UPD has fully implemented Racial and Identity Profiling Act reporting to the California Department of Justice, and the first annual report will be made in January of 2023 on the Open Justice web page at: https://openjustice.doj.ca.gov/. The data collected through RIPA reporting is meant to strengthen law enforcement-community relations in California through collaboration, transparency, and accountability.
11. UPD transitioned to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), which captures details on each crime incident, as well as on separate offenses within the same incident, including information on victims, known offenders, relationships between victims and offenders, arrestees, and property involved in crimes. Unlike data reported through the older UCR Program’s traditional Summary Reporting System (SRS), NIBRS goes much deeper because of its ability to provide circumstances and context for crimes like location, time of day, and whether the incident was cleared.
DIVISION OF STRATEGIC PLANNING, ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT & INNOVATION (SPEMI)
Admissions & Outreach Services (AOS)
1. In-person Warrior Welcome. On April 23, 2022, Admissions and Outreach Services (AOS) hosted Warrior Welcome in-person for the first time since 2019. This yield event for admitted students offered a vibrant experience with fun activities and helpful resources. President Junn greeted over 600 guests and welcomed newly incoming students to the Stanislaus State community. Attendees had opportunities to register for New Student Orientation, accept their admission, and submit transcripts for on-the-spot admission decisions.
2. Expanded Services via Warriors on the Way (WOW). The WOW program continues to support prospective transfer students from the University's local feeder campuses, Modesto Junior College, Merced Community College, and San Joaquin Delta College. Effective spring 2022, WOW counselors expanded pre-admission advising services to all prospective transfers, not just those enrolled in the WOW program. In so doing, the WOW program has more visibility at the community colleges and increased access to pre-admission support to all prospective transfer students.
Enrollment Services
3. Pre-registered incoming freshmen in one additional class. In collaboration with the Office of the Provost, the College Deans, and the department chairpersons, Enrollment Services pre-registered all incoming first-time freshman in three classes prior to their arrival at New Student Orientation. Each student was registered in an English, math, and general education and/or major course as suggested by the student's major department.
4. Elimination of the enrollment confirmation deposit (ECD). Upon discussion of administrative barriers, the Enrollment Initiatives Workgroup made a recommendation to the VP for SPEMI to remove the enrollment confirmation deposit, eliminating the additional $100 initially required for students to reserve their seat.
Financial Aid & Scholarship Office (FASO)
5. Implementation of verification data system and live chat feature for Financial Aid and Scholarships. The Financial and Scholarship Office moved from a paper verification system to the CampusLogic software system. With this implementation, 95% of student forms were converted from paper to online forms, thus, making the submission more accessible and expediting the verification process. This allowed the Financial Aid Office staff to process awards at a faster rate. Along with this new software system, the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office introduced a "Live Chat" feature to the chatbot. This allowed students to talk to a financial aid live agent and meet with a financial aid advisor. This feature allows students to have their questions answered in real-time.
6. HEERF III and CA Emergency Grant. In the year 2021-22 the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office awarded over 19 million dollars in HEERF funding, bringing this to a total of over 32 million dollars in emergency funding for students. In addition, the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office in collaboration with Basic Needs awarded and disbursed $838,000 thousand dollars in CA Emergency funds with funding from the State and Chancellor’s Office. These funds were awarded to students facing an emergency during the academic year.
Institutional Effectiveness & Analytics (IEA)
7. Participated in the Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP), a data service provided by the National Student Clearinghouse. It translates institutional data to visualized presentation and analyses. IEA completed data file development and certification for the past five cohort years which enabled the launching of the PDP dashboard.
8. Provided data support for Alumni Outcomes by Lightcast – formerly Emsi Burning Glass – the leading research company for labor market analytics. Alumni Outcomes is one of Lightcast’s services to track student success after graduation. IEA led the campus efforts to provide data support to complete Alumni Outcomes for Stan State students since the 1960s. About 30% of graduated alumni have a matched record in Lightcast’s labor market database, which significantly extends the scopes of institutional research, student services, and university advancement.
DIVISION OF STUDENT AFFAIRS
1. Athletics enjoyed a banner year with the return of competition. Women’s Cross Country won the 2021 California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) championship team title – a first in the program’s history. The team also won four CCAA major individual awards including Coach of the Year, Darren Holman and Freshman of the Year, Katarina Borchin. Kaela Dishion was named CCAA Runner of the Year and Newcomer of the Year. Women’s Basketball head coach Wayman Strickland won his 100th career game, making him the second all-time winningest coach in program history. Women’s Softball beat the No. 1 ranked team in the nation – Concordia University Irvine – 6-1. And our student-athletes continued their streak of academic achievement by maintaining a GPA above 3.2 for a fifth consecutive semester.
2. Expanded Physical and Mental Health Care Services. COVID-19 required the university to rethink how physical and mental health care services were provided. In 2021-22, teletherapy remained the primary delivery mode for Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), with nearly 3,200 sessions (62% of visits) conducted via secure Zoom session, followed by almost 10% of sessions occurring via phone. At the pandemic’s start, the Student Health Center successfully pivoted to telehealth as its primary service delivery method. The serendipitous benefit of this shift was increased access for students on the Stockton Campus. In spring 2022, while in-person appointments returned, telehealth visits continued to be the primary mode of service delivery chosen by students. Additionally, an after-hours Nurse Advice Line was implemented to provide supplementary care options for students that need medical advice outside of normal operating hours.
3. Student Affairs led collaborative efforts for the campus to hold in-person Commencement Ceremonies for the Classes of 2020, 2021 and 2022. Nine ceremonies were held in May 2021 with the most recent graduating class having four ceremonies in May 2022. A total of 2,431 graduates of the Class of 2022 attended the ceremonies with 11,400 guests. Commencement ceremonies represent the largest in-person gatherings held at Stanislaus State with the ceremonies in 2022 being the largest held since March 2020. Ceremonies were responsive to COVID-19 guidance incorporating new registration processes for graduates and guests, modified seating layouts and accommodation seating, additional technology integration, expanded communication planning and more. Wide consultation within the campus communication including student government, academic senate, academic leadership, and executive leadership occurred with the Commencement Committee leading discussions about how Stanislaus State could retain our rich Commencement traditions during a time of rapidly changing public health guidance. Through the tireless effort of over 220 university employees who volunteered and worked our Class of 2022 ceremonies Stanislaus State was able to provide a meaningful graduation experience to our students and their families. These ceremonies offered unique elements: graduates were able to make customized virtual graduate announcements, graduates were seated with their families, families were able to perform the hooding of their graduates and take photos directly adjacent to the stage. While different from our pre-COVID traditions, these are ceremony elements in which only these graduating classes participated, providing memories that other graduating classes will not experience. Student Affairs provided an uplifting experience for graduates and their families celebrating the culmination of their academic journey during COVID-19 Pandemic.
4. Student COVID-19 Support Services. The Warriors
Take Care unit was created in the summer of 2020 to provide support for Stanislaus State students amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The unit provides direct support to over 10,000 students by disseminating a wide range of information resources, administering the CSU vaccination requirement and campus testing requirement, overseeing all student exposure notifications, and providing non-clinical case management for students with COVID-19. The unit has worked closely with the Office of Information Technology in the creation of an integrated technology infrastructure. These collaborative efforts have helped to remove potential barriers to student success and remove obstacles that COVID-19 legislation created. Examples of this include the administrative management of the vaccination requirement, testing requirement, isolation requirements and daily screening requirements. All of these are things which a student must comply with to continue their education during the COVID-19 pandemic. New information websites and re-visioned communications were also launched with the Student COVID-19 Committee collaborating across departments to identify and share critical and rapidly changing information with students. With 73% of our fall 2021 entering student class being first-generation college students the work of the Student Affairs Warriors Take Care team and collaborative partners has been instrumental in helping students understand what is required to continue as a student, what resources are available to help students academically and personally succeed and how to access the myriad of services and university employees available to assist them.
5. Implementation
of Warrior Connect student
success platform. Despite the challenges presented by the global COVID-19 pandemic, the implementation and expansion of the Warrior Connect student success platform enabled students to benefit from being able to connect with faculty and staff advisors much more easily, while also helping academic advisors, faculty, and other staff to create a truly coordinated network for student success. Through Warrior Connect over 20,000 appointments were facilitated in 2021-22, and countless campaigns were undertaken to connect students to information on everything from upcoming activities to how to return to college. In total since the launch of Warrior Connect almost 100,000 emails and texts and over 17,000 progress reports have been sent, with professors providing feedback over 8,000 times. The “First Gen Fridays” program, a workshop series designed to foster a sense of belonging among Stanislaus State First-Gen students was expanded, and attendance in the program was up 57% to 485 participants in 2021-22. Additionally, over 6,000 students enrolled in CareerReadyU with support connecting with alumni, employers, and opportunities to integrate the academic experience with professional experience. And 8,088 employers were served by recruitment and education related opportunities via HIREStanState job & internship listings, virtual information sessions, virtual career fairs, online panel discussions and employer consultations in 2021-22.

In addition, over 200 people attended the May 3, 2022, Champions of the American Dream event to honor Marian Kaanon, which was moderated by Evan Porges, president of Porges Properties and an inaugural Entrepreneur in Residence for the Warrior Entrepreneurship Initiative.
5. Digitizing Alumni Association Cards and Broadening Alumni Engagement. A digital alumni card and online request form was introduced driving virtual engagement and increasing Alumni Association members. In addition, a re-branded alumni and community newsletter, Warrior Wire, was launched in the spring of 2022.
Selected Strategic Planning Objectives, Strategies, and Actions and Outcomes by Division: Tracking Year-5 (2021-22)
The following provides a summary of actions taken by administrative division in support of the stated strategy (left side), and applicable consequential outcomes (right side).
GOAL 1 • Be a student-ready University.
OBJECTIVE A
Plan, implement, refine and institutionalize five or more specialized high-quality programs and services that collectively offer wide accessibility and provide support to all of our students, though some may focus on a specific set of needs (e.g., freshman, transfer, graduate students, first-generation, underserved and underrepresented minorities, Pell-eligible).
STRATEGY 1A1: Establish and implement a first-generation student success program.

ACTIONS
ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
College of Science (COS); Mathematics
Mathematics worked with the Learning Commons to place embedded tutors in a few lower division math courses to provide students with more tutoring/supplemental instruction support.
OUTCOMES
Data being gathered related to lower DFW rates in these courses.
STRATEGIC PLANNING, ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT AND INNOVATION (SPEMI)
Institutional Effectiveness & Analytics (IEA)
Participated in the National Student Clearinghouse's Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP) and completed data submission of five cohort years. The PDP supports the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) Transformation Accelerator Cohort (TAC) Model, and the First Scholars initiative. The First Scholars initiative has an emphasis on first-generation student success and the TAC aims to close equity gaps, particularly for Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and low-income students.
STUDENT AFFAIRS
Learning Commons (LC)
Engaging and High Impact Learning Experiences: During the pandemic, the Learning Commons significantly improved the quality of online and in-person learning support. Expanded access to the Learning Commons by offering online and in-person services during the daytime, evening, and weekend hours. Created online tools and workshops available to students at any time. Learning Commons developed asynchronous training videos and utilized new software tools to create engaging and high-impact learning experiences for tutoring and Supplemental Instruction (SI) students.
The data IEA provides for the PDP dashboard is intended to help campus stakeholders identify equity gaps in an effort to improve student success strategies.
The Writing Center has added specialized writing support services and faculty connections to various disciplines. Learning Commons piloted new service models for math courses, including asynchronous tutoring, embedded tutoring, embedded SI, and services in locations where students frequent. Data collected from a campus-wide Learning Commons survey and session evaluations indicate that 95% of students participating in Learning Commons services found them helpful in achieving their academic goals. Furthermore, 96% shared they were more confident in their abilities to learn in their courses after attending tutoring/SI sessions. This data indicates that students find high-quality services to support their holistic success in the Learning Commons.
STRATEGY 1A2: Close achievement gaps through strong developmental education programming (e.g., Early Start, Summer Bridge, winter session mathematics, stretch English).
STRATEGY 1A3: Create specialized programs to improve the success of underrepresented male students.
ACTIONS OUTCOMES
ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
College of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (CAHSS)
Provided ongoing support for our early college partnership with Turlock Unified School District (TUSD), including coordination of the transition to stateside scheduling.

STRATEGY 1A4: Enhance Financial Aid services and implement access to, and delivery of, Financial Literacy Education opportunities for students.
ACTIONS OUTCOMES
STRATEGIC PLANNING, ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT AND INNOVATION (SPEMI)
Financial Aid & Scholarship Office (FASO)
FASO served 2,036 students and parents during the 202122 Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and California Dream Act application (CADAA) workshops, New Student Orientation, and Pre-New Student Orientation workshops. The workshops were conducted virtually for local high schools and the campus community. These workshops were conducted in both English and Spanish. In collaboration with Admissions and Outreach and Enrollment Services, the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office provided a series of Pre-New Student Orientation workshops to help prospective students navigate their financial aid before attending orientation. The introduction of a "Live Chat" feature on the Financial Aid and Scholarship website allows students to communicate with a live agent and meet with a financial aid advisor if needed. In 2021-22, 95% of the student forms were converted from paper to online. This change has helped increase the completion and submission of the required forms to the FASO office and has decreased the processing and response time for students.
The FAFSA and CADAA information workshops provided in English and Spanish helped students and parents navigate and understand the Financial Aid process and next steps. The live feature has allowed students to receive necessary information in real-time. The conversion of paper forms to online forms has made them more accessible to the student population, thus increasing the number of files completed on a timely basis.
Increased a sense of belonging for male students on campus in a virtual/hybrid setting.
STRATEGY 1A5:
ACTIONS OUTCOMES
ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
College of Education, Kinesiology & Social Work (COEKSW); Liberal Studies
During the pandemic, Liberal Studies offered the New Student Orientation virtually. This led Liberal Studies to experiment with various formats. The normal, in-person orientation allows students to ask individual questions, with faculty, student leaders, and staff members all available. This was much harder to achieve in the virtual format. So students were divided into small groups and put into break-out rooms with faculty advisors. The return to in-person orientation was welcome.
College of Science (COS); Physics, Physical Sciences and Geology
The Physics, Physical Sciences, and Geology department has been a partner in the Cal-Bridge program since 2017, and to date, 14 students have become Cal-Bridge scholars.
BUSINESS AND FINANCE
Office of Information Technology (OIT)
Cal-Bridge creates opportunities for historically underrepresented groups, including women, underrepresented minorities (URMs), members of the LGBTQ+ community, those with disabilities, and first-generation students, to participate and advance in STEM fields including physics, astronomy, computer science, and computer engineering, to increase their numbers in Ph.D. programs targeting the University of California and other partner institutions.
Successfully launched the new Stan State Mobile application. Students now have direct access to all their Student Information, including the ability to add classes, view grades, holds, and To Do items, all from within the application.
All 565 WiFi Access Points (APs) across campus have been upgraded.
STRATEGIC PLANNING, ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT AND INNOVATION (SPEMI)
Admissions and Outreach Services (AOS)
The Warriors on the Way program (WOW) continues to support prospective transfer students from the University's local feeder campuses, Modesto Junior College, Merced Community College, and San Joaquin Delta College. Effective spring 2022, WOW counselors expanded services to all prospective transfers, not just those enrolled in the WOW program. In addition, AOS facilitated two Transfer Achievement Celebrations for incoming WOW scholars, one at the Stockton Campus and one at the Turlock campus.
Enrollment Services
In collaboration with New Student Orientation (NSO), the Academic Success Center, Financial Aid, and Admissions and Outreach Services, implemented Pre-NSO workshops for incoming first-time freshman and transfer students. Workshops are designed to keep students engaged by providing staff and department resources, and answering questions in preparation for NSO.
Expanding pre-admission advising services to all prospective transfer students has increased the visibility of the WOW program at the local community colleges and increased access to pre-admission support to transfer students.
Enrollment Services provided nine pre-NSO workshops with successful student attendance and positive feedback.
Reassess and reimagine orientation services and specialized programs for all new students (e.g., expand freshman year experience, transfer support program, graduate student success programs).
ACTIONS OUTCOMES
STUDENT AFFAIRS
Academic Success Center (ASC)
ASC collaborated with Academic Affairs and the Male Success Initiative to support the student assignments, training, and programmatic needs of the Civic Action Fellows program. Fellows were peer mentors assigned to first-time freshmen, not in a special program, e.g., Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS), Promise Scholars (PS), Freshman Success Program (FSP), TRIO Student Support Services (SSS), Housing and Residential Life (HRL).
ASC collaborated with New Student Orientation (NSO) and Enrollment Services to host six pre-NSO workshops for transfer students.
Campus Recreation
For new students, starting at Stanislaus State can be daunting with the plethora of locations, departments, services, etc. One way that Campus Recreation is proud to reimagine orientation services has been to take a hands-on approach during New Student Orientation (NSO) by making it a known effort to introduce Campus Recreation to new students and the family members who join them on campus.
Housing and Residential Life (HRL)
Implemented MDIS course for Elevate Living Learning Community (LLC) participants; course included expanded FYE curriculum tailored to community participants and was connected to Elevate English sections.
TRIO Student Support Services (SSS)
Expanded collaborations with New Student Orientation to increase incoming student awareness of available support programming. Offered to break out sessions for incoming freshmen.
Through our collaboration with the Civic Action Fellows (CAF) program, all first-year students were assigned a peer mentor who offered one-on-one appointments, and outreach during key times of the year to help with their transition.
Over 600 incoming fall 2022 transfer students attended a workshop. The transfer specific workshops align with literature that advocates for how universities can build a transfer receptive culture.
Students and family members are able to get acquainted via presentations, showcases, and Q&As. Campus Recreation answers all questions from our newest members, whether recreationally related or academic that students and staff can answer with helpful information.
Expanded LLC program access and supported need for flexibility with course schedule and section options for participants

The University Police Department, in partnership with Turlock Police Department, provides students, faculty, and staff with free self-defense classes. The objective of Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) is “to develop and enhance the options of self-defense, so they may become viable considerations to the women who are attacked.”
The University Police Department is exploring a partnership with the Criminal Justice program to provide the California P.O.S.T. Entry-Level Law Enforcement Test Battery (PELLETB) to students each semester. Results from the testing can be shared with local law enforcement agencies to encourage local recruitment of Stan State students.
Approximately 100 students visited the OSL booth at New Student Orientation (NSO) to receive information about various academic community-based programs and volunteer opportunities. Through the support for Science in Our Community, 180 students had the opportunity to volunteer with K-12 students. Please note numbers are reduced due to COVID-19.
It builds trust and legitimacy within the campus community, allows students to feel engaged with UPD, and improves recruiting students who may become future UPD employees.
The University Police Department presented two sessions of Rape Aggression Defense in the 2021-22 school year, both in the spring 2022 semester. UPD continues to partner with the City of Turlock to bolster relationships between the campus and our community.

This data indicated that students continue to access supportive counseling services as a form of engagement and connectedness to support student life, recognizing the importance of well-being.
ACTIONS
Health Education & Promotion (HEP)
The Peer Health Educator (PHE) program is modeled after an evidence-informed peer-to-peer model. The President’s Trophy is awarded to the student organization with the most impressive philanthropic service record for the year, demonstrating dedicated leadership and service to the university or community. The membership has made service an integral part of their college experience. Altogether, Peer Health Educators facilitated 38 activities and volunteered a collective 395.5 hours during the 2021-22 academic year.
Social Norming is an evidence-informed practice that focuses on positive messages about healthy behaviors and attitudes common to most people in a group. Often college students overestimate unhealthy behaviors and underestimate healthy behaviors, influencing their perception of normative expectations (social norms). The social norms approach uses accurate information that can help change perceptions of social norms and, in turn, lead to students engaging in healthier behaviors.

Campus Recreation
Upon reopening the University, many events were virtual due to safety restrictions. Once key restrictions were lifted, Campus Recreation held Warriors Up at Night during the fall semester with other departments such as Student Leadership & Development (SLD), Housing and Residential Life, and Health Education & Promotion (HEP) to increase students’ connection to the campus and its peers and give students an out of the class experience. During this event, students were invited to enjoy a movie, play games, and socialize/meet with peers across campus in a safe, non-alcoholic, and drug-free way.
TRIO Student Support Services (SSS)
TRIO SSS is intentionally designed to promote equity in education. Program eligibility for services requires students to meet criteria related to income, first-generational status, disability status and demonstrated academic need for services based on criteria such as academic readiness for college, language proficiency, predictive indicators, and educational and career goals. While not a specific eligibility criterion, programming largely impacts historically marginalized and racially minoritized groups, as they are most likely to experience inequity in education.
Warrior Cross Cultural Center (WCCC)
Re-established space in newly remodeled office to provide a welcoming environment for students of diverse backgrounds and the campus community. Set up space to include a study space, lounge, and Community room.
HEERF and CA Emergency Grant funds helped students pay for expenses such as medical, housing, transportation, food and other essential items.
This event kept students on campus and provided them with free food, drinks, and a good time. Campus Recreation had 128 students attend, which was amazing for one of the first events following the department's reopening.
Since data for Academic Year (AY) 2021-22 includes summer, the most recent data is for AY 2021. For AY 2020-21, of those students served by the TRIO SSS program, 97% had good academic standing, 95% persisted, and 81% of the 2015-16 cohort graduated.
Created a safe, inclusive space for students, staff and faculty. Increased self awareness and connectedness with other members of the campus community. Increased the number of resources available to students both on/off campus.

Stan State influences both the lives of its students and the regional economy.
Economic impact analysis
Stan State promotes economic growth in the Stan State Six-County Service Region through its direct expenditures and the resulting expenditures of students and regional businesses. The university serves as an employer and buyer of goods and services for its day-to-day and research operations. The university’s reputation and activities attract students from outside the Stan State Six-County Service Region, whose expenditures benefit regional vendors. Stan State encourages its employees to volunteer in the community, helping businesses and organizations grow. In addition, Stan State is a primary source of higher education to the Stan State Six-County Service Region residents and a supplier of trained workers to regional industries, enhancing overall productivity in the regional workforce.
Operations spending impact
Stan State adds economic value to the Stan State Six-County Service Region as an employer of regional residents and a large-scale buyer of goods and services. In FY 2021-22, the university employed 1,308 full-time and part-time faculty and staff (excluding research employees), 86% of whom lived in the Stan State SixCounty Service Region. Total payroll at Stan State was $173.1 million (excluding payroll from research employees), much of which was spent in the region for groceries, mortgage and rent payments, dining out, and other household expenses. In addition, the university spent $103.4 million on day-to-day expenses related to facilities, supplies, and professional services (excluding research expenditures).
Stan State’s day-to-day operations spending added $221 million in income to the region during the analysis year. This figure represents the university’s payroll, the multiplier effects generated by the in-region spending of the university and its employees, and a downward adjustment to account for funding that the university received from regional sources. The $221 million in added income is equivalent to supporting 1,769 jobs in the region.
Research spending impact
Research activities impact the economy by employing people and requiring the purchase of equipment and other supplies and services. In FY 2021-22, Stan State spent $1 million on payroll to support research activities. This, along with $967.2 thousand in other research spending, created a net total of $1.7 million in added income for the regional economy. This added income is equivalent to supporting 18 jobs.

Jobs supported 9,068
Student spending impact
Around 12% of degree-seeking students attending Stan State originated from outside the region in FY 2021-22, and some of these students relocated to the Stan State Six-County Service Region to attend Stan State. These students may not have come to the region if the university did not exist. In addition, some in-region students, referred to as retained students, would have left the Stan State Six-County Service Region if not for the existence of Stan State. While attending the university, these relocated and retained students spent money on groceries, accommodation, transportation, and other household expenses. This spending generated $18.3 million in added income for the regional economy in FY 2021-22, which supported 299 jobs in the Stan State Six-County Service Region.
Volunteerism impact
Stan State encourages its employees to volunteer in the Stan State Six-County Service Region, where they can work with businesses and organizations to help meet their goals. The work of these employee volunteers allows businesses and organizations to grow, increasing their output and impacting the economy at large. Using the value per volunteer hour for California as provided by the Independent Sector, 2 the work of Stan State employee volunteers is equivalent to $60.8 thousand in earnings. In terms of actual impact to the Stan State Six-County Service Region economy, Stan State employee volunteers generated an impact of $102.8 thousand in added income for the region in FY 2021-22, equivalent to supporting three jobs.
Alumni impact
The education and training Stan State provides for regional residents has the greatest impact. Since the establishment of the university, students have studied at Stan State and entered the regional workforce with greater knowledge and new skills. Today, thousands of former Stan State students are employed in the Stan State Six-County Service Region.
According to Lightcast’s Alumni Outcomes data, many of the Stan State alumni are employed in the state workforce in industry sectors such as Government, Education; Manufacturing; Health Care & Social Assistance; Retail Trade; Administrative & Waste Services; Professional & Technical Services; and Finance & Insurance, with their top occupations being tutors and teachers and instructors; postsecondary teachers; personal service managers and entertainment and recreation managers; chief executives; accountants and auditors; and general and operations managers.
As a result of their education from Stan State, the students receive higher earnings and increase the productivity of the businesses that employ them. In FY 2021-22, Stan State alumni generated $529.4 million in added income for the regional economy, which is equivalent to supporting 6,979 jobs.
Total impact
Stan State added $770.5 million in income to the Stan State Six-County Service Region economy during the analysis year, equal to the sum of the operations and research spending impacts, the student spending impact, the volunteerism impact, and the alumni impact. For context, the $770.5 million impact was equal to approximately 1.0% of the total gross regional product (GRP) of the Stan State Six-County Service Region. This contribution that the university provided on its own is nearly as large as the entire Information industry in the region.
Stan State’s total impact can also be expressed in terms of jobs supported. The $770.5 million impact supported 9,068 regional jobs, using the jobs-to-sales ratios specific to each industry in the region. This means that one out of every 82 jobs in the Stan State Six-County Service Region is supported by the activities of Stan State and its students. In addition, the $770.5 million, or 9,068 supported jobs, stemmed from different industry sectors. For instance, Stan State’s activities and alumni in the Government, Education industry sector supported 1,641 jobs in FY 2021-22. If the university did not exist, these impacts would not have been generated in the Stan State Six-County Service Region.
Investment analysis
An investment analysis evaluates the costs associated with a proposed venture against its expected benefits. If the benefits outweigh the costs, then the investment is financially worthwhile. The analysis presented here considers Stan State as an investment from the perspectives of students, taxpayers, and society in California.
Student perspective
In FY 2021-22, Stan State served 11,930 credit and 946 non-credit students. In order to attend the university, the students paid for tuition, fees, books, and supplies. They also took out loans and will incur interest on those loans. Additionally, students gave up money they would have otherwise earned had they been working instead of attending college. The total investment made by Stan State’s students in FY 2021-22 amounted to a present value of $80.2 million, equal to $49.7 million in outof-pocket expenses (including future principal and interest on student loans) and $30.5 million in forgone time and money.
In return for their investment, Stan State’s students will receive a stream of higher future earnings that will continue to grow throughout their working lives. For example, the average Stan State bachelor’s degree graduate from FY 2021-22 will see annual earnings that are $27,500 higher than a person with a high school diploma or equivalent working in California. Over a working lifetime, the benefits of the bachelor’s degree over a high school diploma will amount to an undiscounted value of $1.2 million in higher earnings per graduate. The present value of the cumulative higher future earnings that Stan State’s FY 2021-22 students will receive over their working careers is $973.6 million.
The students’ benefit-cost ratio is 12.1. In other words, for every dollar students invest in Stan State in the form of out-of-pocket expenses and forgone time and money, they will receive a cumulative value of $12.10 in higher future earnings. Annually, the
Students see a high rate of return for their investment in Stan State
students’ investment in Stan State has an average annual internal rate of return of 30.3%, which is impressive compared to the U.S. stock market’s 30-year average rate of return of 10.5%.
Taxpayer perspective
Stan State generates more in tax revenue than it takes. These benefits to taxpayers consist primarily of taxes that the state and local government will collect from the added revenue created in the state. As Stan State students will earn more, they will make higher tax payments throughout their working lives. Students’ employers will also make higher tax payments as they increase their output and purchases of goods and services. By the end of the FY 2021-22 students’ working lives, the state and local government will have collected a present value of $352.7 million in added taxes.
Benefits to taxpayers will also consist of savings generated by the improved lifestyles of Stan State students and the corresponding reduced government services. Education is statistically correlated with a variety of lifestyle changes. The educations that Stan State students receive will generate savings in three main categories: 1) healthcare, 2) justice system, and 3) income assistance. Improved health will lower students’ demand for national health care services. In addition, costs related to the justice system will decrease. Stan State students will be more employable, so their reduced demand for income assistance such as welfare and unemployment benefits will benefit taxpayers. For a list of study references, contact the university for a copy of the main report. Altogether, the present value of the benefits associated with an education from Stan State will generate $91.8 million in savings to state and local taxpayers.
Total taxpayer benefits amount to $444.4 million, the present value sum of the added taxes and public sector savings. Taxpayer costs are $189.6 million, equal to the amount of state and local government funding Stan State received in FY 2021-22. These benefits and costs yield a benefit-cost ratio of 2.3. This means that for every dollar of public money invested in Stan State in FY 2021-22, taxpayers will receive a cumulative present value of $2.30 over the course of the students’ working lives. The average annual internal rate of return for taxpayers is 4.0%, which compares favorably to other long-term investments in the public and private sectors.
Social perspective
Society as a whole in California benefits from the presence of Stan State in two major ways. Primarily, society benefits from an increased economic base in the state. This is attributed to the added income from students’ increased lifetime earnings (added student income) and increased business output (added business income), which raise economic prosperity in California.
For every dollar of public money invested in Stan State, taxpayers will receive a cumulative value of $2.30 over the course of the students’ working lives.
Benefits to society also consist of the savings generated by the improved lifestyles of Stan State students. As discussed in the previous section, education is statistically correlated with a variety of lifestyle changes that generate social savings. Note that these costs are avoided by the consumers but are distinct from the costs avoided by the taxpayers outlined above. Healthcare savings include avoided medical costs associated with smoking, alcohol dependence, obesity, drug abuse, and depression. Justice system savings include avoided costs to the government and society due to less judicial activity. Income assistance savings include reduced welfare and unemployment claims. For a list of study references, contact the university for a copy of the main report.
Altogether, the social benefits of Stan State equal a present value of $4.7 billion. These benefits include $3.1 billion in added student income, $1.3 billion in added business income, $167.7 million in added income from university activities, as well as $160.8 million in social savings related to health, crime, and income assistance in California. People in California invested a present value total of $323.5 million in Stan State in FY 2021-22. The cost includes all the university and student costs.
The benefit-cost ratio for society is 14.5, equal to the $4.7 billion in benefits divided by the $323.5 million in costs. In other words, for every dollar invested in Stan State, people in California will receive a cumulative value of $14.50 in benefits. The benefits of this investment will occur for as long as Stan State’s FY 2021-22 students remain employed in the state workforce.
Summary of investment analysis results
The results of the analysis demonstrate that Stan State is a strong investment for all three major stakeholder groups—students, taxpayers, and society. As shown, students receive a great return for their investments in an education from Stan State. At the same time, taxpayers’ investment in Stan State returns more to government budgets than it costs and creates a wide range of social benefits throughout California.
