Introduction from the President s Commitment to rebuilding the College from the depths of the recession defined the 2013-2014 academic year at Cypress College. And what a year it was. We added additional courses to our schedule of classes, we allocated approximately $1 million for instructional and support programs to address one-time needs, faculty and administration collaborated to prioritize and hire badly needed full-time faculty positions, our Planning and Budget Committee organized and prioritized classified staff needs, and we initiated the hiring of management positions we determined to be critical. These all represent major completed tasks for the 2013-2014 academic year. At graduation, more than 400 students participated, representing the class of 2014 who earned 970 associate degrees. In addition, over 100 full time-faculty members attended the ceremony in honor of our students. These are both graduation-attendance high water marks that I hope will continue into the future. As I walked across the College Gateway on the morning of graduation, and as the stage and seating areas were being assembled, the thought occurred to me that each and every member of the Cypress College team contributes significantly to the success of those students who walk across the graduation stage. Each and every member of the Cypress College family has a claim on the success of our students. Our classified employees provide support for our mission across the College. Our teachers, counselors and librarians provide instruction, guidance, resources, and so much more. Our administrators assure that operations of the College are focused upon the success of our students in such professional and caring ways. Our neighbors in the community provide leadership on advisory committees, the Foundation, and are strong advocates. I want every member of the Charger family to know how very much your contributions to our students means and how very much those contributions are appreciated. You literally change lives. It is such a privilege for me to serve as the President of this fine College. With sincere appreciation,

Robert Simpson, Ed.D. President, Cypress College

Student Success s Graduation

s Student Success Scorecard

More than 400 students walked across the stage at the 2013-14 commencement ceremony. The number of students participating in the graduation ceremony and the over 100 faculty members also in attendance both represented all-time record highs. The students earned 970 degrees and an additional 918 certificates were awarded.

Cypress College’s performance on California’s Scorecard of Institutional Effectiveness continues to impress. Introduced in 2012-2013, the scorecard provides benchmarks of performance for Cypress College students relative to their peers across the state. English, Reading, English as a Second Language, and Career Technical Education continue to lead the charts on the statewide Student Success Scorecard (see chart: “Scorecard of Institutional Effectiveness”).

s Summer Boost Driven by a desire to increase student success, Cypress College initiated a pilot program with the Anaheim Joint Union High School District to foster achievement for incoming freshmen. The Summer Boost program, which began in Summer 2014, ensured access to critical courses such as English and Math for students who participated in the program and met certain benchmarks such as assessment, orientation, and development of an educational plan. The Summer Boost program aligned known successful strategies with course scheduling, registration, and student services. For instance, data reveal that students who take basic skills courses — such as English and Math — in their first term are more likely to successfully complete their college education.

s Priority Registration Cypress College implemented a new strategy for priority registration to better serve incoming students while also encouraging current students to maintain progress toward their educational goal. Previously priority registration placed the greatest emphasis on completing courses, even if that was incongruent with actually completing their course of study. Now more emphasis is put on matriculation and assessment, two processes demonstrated to increase student success.

Cypress College’s overall degree/transfer completion rate is 46.7%. However, the completion rate among what are defined as academically prepared students is 70.6%, approximately 30% higher than the cohort defined as academically underprepared. While this mirrors the trend across all California Community Colleges, it is illustrative of the achievement gap that colleges are working to close (see page 7 for more about the achievement gap).

Academics s High Demand

s Toyota and Cypress College Going Places

Cypress College opened the academic year operating only slightly below capacity as 97.3% of all seats were occupied during the fall semester. This impressive demand was achieved despite the College having increased the number of courses offered. Examining enrollment by looking at the number and percentage of seats taken is the most-effective way to understand demand for classes — both in general and in specific disciplines.

Cypress College’s Automotive Technology Program topped the national performance charts again. Twenty-three students graduated from the Toyota Technical Education Network program. Commonly known by its initials, T-TEN is a model partnership between the College and the automotive manufacturer. The program provides students with state-of-the-art vehicles and tools as instructional materials. The 23 program graduates this year represent the highest of any T-TEN program in the nation.

The practice allows administrators to understand and address student need. In fall 2013, Cypress College offered more than 45,000 seats. Three academic divisions — Health Science (105%), Science, Engineering and Math (107), and Social Science (101%) — actually served more students than they had scheduled capacity.

s Outstanding Faculty Becky Floyd of the Anthropology Department was honored with the Outstanding Full-Time Faculty Award for 2013-2014. The award is one of three honors bestowed by the Cypress College Academic Senate. Floyd and two of her colleagues served in honorary roles at commencement on May 23, where they were recognized for their achievement. The Charger Award — for significant contributions to the educational community outside the classroom — was presented to Professor Randy Martinez, of the Psychology Department. Finally, the Outstanding Adjunct Faculty Member Award was presented to Claudia Garcia, who also teaches in the Psychology Department.

Academics s University Transfer The development of transfer degrees has resulted in a significant increase in the number of graduates. These associate’s degrees were implemented to streamline the process of starting a bachelor’s degree at a community college and completing it on a California State University campus. First implemented in the 2012-2013 academic year,

the program expanded in 2013-2014 with the approval of new degrees in eight areas. The College now offers transfer degrees in 19 of the 21 available disciplines. Social Sciences, Cypress College’s largest academic division, offers AA-Ts in every possible category.

s Automotive Technology Toyota and Cypress College engage in a model partnership for the campus’ Toyota Technician Training & Education Technical Education Network (Toyota T-TEN) program. One result of the of this strong association is that the college’s 23 most recent graduates are all employed at Lexus or Toyota dealerships. In addition, 29 students in the Cypress College Automotive Technology Program, more than any other automotive program in the state, received scholarships from the California Automotive Dealers Association.

s Health Science Cypress College students continued to exceed the national and state average pass rates on their annual licensure examinations, which are the pathway from education to employment (see chart “Program Pass Rate”). In addition, 81% of the 2012-13 dental assisting graduates found jobs within one year or were pursuing advanced education. On average, 70% of Mortuary Science graduates were already employed in the profession at the time of graduation. Most Nursing graduates obtained employment within six months of graduation. Employers’ overall satisfaction with the performance and skills of graduates from the Radiologic Technology Program were regarded as excellent, based on a survey conducted with the industry partners.

Achievement Gap

SUCCESS: California’s community colleges will increase completions by 1 million by 2020. EQUITY: California’s community colleges will eliminate the achievement gap. ACCESS: California’s community colleges will close participation rate gaps.

s Eliminating the Achievement Gap

s Where’s the Gap?

The 2020 Vision for Student Success resulted from the work of a commission of 33 college leaders convened by the Community College League of California to identify policy and practice changes that, if implemented, could increase meaningful completions in community colleges by 2020. The group was co-chaired by North Orange County Community College District Trustee Dr. Barbara Dunsheath. The commission’s report was released in November 2010 with the goals of increasing success, equity, and access through eliminating the achievement gap — the documented disparity in successful completion found between various populations of students.

Both the NOCCCD and Cypress College Strategic Plans specifically address the achievement gap with directions intended to make progress toward reducing the documented achievement gap among race/ethnicity groups each year.

This chart shows a significant reduction in the achievement gap for students enrolled in Career Technical Education programs compared to all programs as a whole. The gap is the difference between the groups with the highest (blue numbers) and lowest (red numbers) completion rates.

As part of the investigation to address this strategic direction, faculty and staff at Cypress College noticed something interesting: the achievement gap seemed to be nearly missing when looking at students enrolled in Career Technical Education programs. The finding was observed when looking at a cohort of students for the 2011-2012 academic year — one in which the completion rate varied by 28% when looking at the student population as a whole. However, when looking only at CTE students, it was noted that the gap dropped dramatically, to just 5.7%. As the year progressed, and new data became available, the Office of Institutional Research was able to look at numbers for the 2012-2013 cohort. While the gap was larger than the previous year, it was less than half for the CTE students when compared to the overall student population.

s Discussion Armed with this encouraging information, the college community engaged in discussion — including a presentation at the Leadership Team meeting in spring 2014 — to explore successful practices that had been demonstrated to reduce the achievement gap. A panel of faculty from the Career Technical Education Division shared their specific experiences. The Leadership Team discussion concluded with various subgroups making proposals to implement a program to address the achievement gap. ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14

Student Profile Berkeley-bound James Johnson is an honor student and single father who represented the class of 2014 as the Outstanding Graduate.

s Cypress College’s 2014 Outstanding Graduate James Johnson did not take the traditional road to higher education. He lost his home to foreclosure, was an under-employed construction worker, and a single father to his 11-year old son. Johnson decided to change his life’s trajectory, and turned to Cypress College to pursue his interest in Engineering. He enrolled in 2010, maintained a 3.97 overall GPA, and graduated with an Associate’s of Science Transfer degree in Physics. Johnson earned acceptance to CSU and UC schools, ultimately deciding to attend the University of California, Berkeley, where he plans to major in Mechanical Engineering. The field of mechanical engineering utilizes his passion for building and creating, but is more cognitive – and less physical – than the construction industry he left behind. “As a child, I built my own toys because I enjoyed the process of building the toy more than actually playing with it,” Johnson said. “This love of learning and passion for figuring out how things work still inspires me today.” Johnson worked his way through the entire sequence of Cypress College math courses — starting at Math 20 and completing Math 250B — an unusual and impressive accomplishment. Mathematics Professor Christina Plett notes that Johnson “demonstrates a willingness and an aptitude for learning new and sometimes difficult concepts.” Physics and Engineering Professor Brinda Subramaniam also offered praise for Johnson. “He is always full of energy and innovative ideas.”

Alumni Profile Educator Reyna Rosas attended Cypress College only because that’s what she told a judge she would do. At commencement, she was honored as the 2014 Outstanding Alumna.

s Reyna Rosas had a humble introduction to higher education. When she began her Cypress College career in 1980, she worked nights at a fast food restaurant both for income and for shelter. She showered in the College’s locker room before her morning classes and then went to work at her second job on campus. Rosas earned her associate’s degree in 1982. Four years later, she earned her bachelor of arts degree in Physical Education and Kinesiology at California State University, Long Beach. In 1998, she earned her master of arts degree in the same field, with an emphasis in Sports Management. She then went on to earn her single-subject teaching credential in Physical Education. Today, Rosas is a decorated middle-school teacher with over 20 years of experience as a mentor, coach, and adjunct faculty member at community colleges, including Cypress College. She is also a four-term member of the board of directors for the Teachers Association of Long Beach. For her success, Rosas was honored with Cypress College’s 2014 Outstanding Alumna Award at the 47th commencement ceremony on May 23, 2014.

s Veterans Affaris Features CC Faculty

Dental Hygiene senior students participated in community projects in the Buena Park School District and screened approximately 150 first graders and students with special needs for dental disease.

Darcy Vernier, adjunct faculty member in the Aviation and Travel Careers program, was featured in a public service announcement for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

The Dental Hygiene Department and the Orange County Dental Hygiene Society provided a free dental clinic for approximately 65 women and children from Collette’s Homeless Shelter in Orange County in October 2013. Women who had additional dental hygiene needs were later brought to the College’s clinic to complete their treatments.

s Partners in Education

s The Class of 2030 Visits Cypress College Approximately 1,400 local kindergarten students attended their first day of college at the annual Kindercaminata event. Students visited various career and education booths during the day to instill in them the importance of a college degree.

Kindercaminata is an annual event intended to introduce elementary students to the belief they should attend college. Knott’s Berry Farm is the primary sponsor for KinderCaminata. The event features participation from many community partners, including the Cypress Police Department and the Orange County Fire Authority. 10

ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14

Cypress College’s strong efforts in the area of community relations also serve to strengthen its academic programs. Among the many program advisory committees representing disciplines such as Health Science, Career Technical Education, and Business/Computer Information Systems, there is representation from major local employers such as Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Disney, Los Alamitos Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente, and Forest Lawn Mortuaries and Memorial Parks. In addition, these advisory committees also feature memberships representing local small businesses.

Each semester, the college transfer fair introduces students to representatives from various four-year institutions where the students will continue their higher education. Participants included public universities such as Cal State Fullerton and Cal State Long Beach, along with private campuses such as Brandman University.

Veterans s Cypress College Veterans Center Perhaps above all else, the Cypress College Veterans Center is about community. For one, the office provides a community for military veterans who have decided to begin, or re-start, their higher education following their service. Not only does the center help facilitate enrollment and use of the benefits earned by these hundreds of vets, but it serves as a connection to a wide variety of community resources. The center works with a number of agencies and organizations, such as Outside the Wire, AMVETS, Orange County Mental Health, Military Children’s Charity Inc., Pause for Patriots, and many others. Finally, the center provides an opportunity for the student-veterans to continue serving through work in the community.

s Vets Club The Cypress College Veterans Organization (CCVO) has grown into one of our most-visible and active clubs. The group annually participates in events such as KinderCaminata, which welcomes area kindergarten students to college for a day in an effort to expose them to potential careers and instill in them a desire to one day earn a college degree. During the year, the CCVO worked with Orange County Mental Health to host a screening of the film “Lioness,” which presents the previously untold story of the first group of female soldiers in U.S. history to be sent into direct ground combat, at the time a direct violation of official policy. Among other events, the CCVO members also participated in the “Compton Stand Down” to provide blankets and toiletries to homeless vets, and they walked and prepared food at the Ronald McDonald House of Long Beach’s Walk for Kids.

s Meet Jason Berry While serving in the United States Coast Guard from 2004-2006, Jason Berry purchased his first camera and discovered a passion for photography. As a Southern California native stationed in Northern California, he became “captivated by the breathtaking and gorgeous landscapes” up the coast. A few years after completing his military service, Berry enrolled at Cypress College and became active in the campus Veterans Center and Cypress College Veterans Organization club. Eyeing a career as a professional photographer, he honed his natural talent through a heavy load of photography classes. As he began his studies, Berry also started his career as a commercial and wedding photographer. Today, the 2014 Cypress College graduate has a thriving photography business. He says he still enjoys capturing beautiful landscapes, but he is focused on his true love: capturing the beauty of weddings.

Foundation s 39th Annual Americana Awards

s Scholarships

Founded in 1976 to highlight the spirit of America, especially community volunteerism, the Cypress College Foundation Americana Awards honor local citizens for their service in the community. The event is the largest annual fundraiser for the College, helping fund scholarships and other programs that otherwise wouldn’t be financially possible.

More than $189,000 in scholarships were awarded to 346 Cypress College students in May. The Cypress College Foundation hosted the 2014 Scholarship Awards Ceremony on Monday, May 12, in the Campus Theater.

Revenue from the 39th Annual Americana Awards exceeded $125,000, the second highest total in the event’s history. In large part, the success was derived from the participation of Charger alumni Swen Nater and Mark Eaton. The pair of retired NBA players was honored as Men of the Year at the ceremony, held on Saturday, February 22, in the Grand Ballroom of the Disneyland Hotel. Citizens of the Year from the eight communities in Cypress College’s primary service area were also honored at Americana. They are: Dr. June Glenn (Anaheim); Christiane Salts (Buena Park); Maria E. A. Sterk (Cypress); Bill and Sue Catlin (Garden Grove); Ralph D. and Dianna W. Rodriguez (La Palma), Chrysteen and Larry Braun (Los Alamitos/Rossmoor); Seth Eaker (Seal Beach); and Allan and Yvonne Ansdell (Stanton). Care Ambulance was recognized with the Foundation’s Distinguished Business Award, while Irv Pickler and Mary Bouas each received the President’s Distinguished Service Awards. Both are long-time Cypress College supporters and Foundation Board Members. Pickler is the father of Scott and Brad, the College’s baseball and softball coaches, respectively.

s STEM: Squaring National Initiative with Local Opportunity A national focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, commonly known as STEM, has resulted in a grant partnership between Cypress College and California State University, Fullerton along with two other community colleges. The program is known as (STEM)2 — for its double meaning: “Strengthening Transfer Education & Matriculation in STEM.” The (STEM)2 grant is a five-year, multifaceted project funded by the U.S. Department of Education. The Grant is designed to encourage Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) degrees, retain students in STEM fields, produce more community college STEM transfers to four-year institutions and ultimately, increase the number of Hispanic/Latino and low-income students attaining baccalaureate degrees in STEM disciplines. Students enrolled in Cypress College’s STEM Program participate in activities such as: instructional support workshops and counseling; peer mentoring; guest speaker presentations; and the Science Club and other support groups. Those transferring to Cal State Fullerton also earn priority registration and gain summer research program opportunities.

s Meet Erica Escobar Erica Escobar is one of 13 Cypress College STEM scholars selected to participate in an eight-week Summer Research Experience at Cal State Fullerton. Escobar examined the protein profile of spider ovaries to gain insight into the mechanisms regulating spider reproduction. Escobar also has learned to tell when a female spider is ready to produce eggs — hundreds at a time. Escobar, an Anaheim resident, told the CSUF News Service that the experience has solidified her goal to continue studying science, even possibly becoming a researcher. “Being exposed to research has opened my mind,” she said. “It’s broadened my mind about the opportunities.”

s Title V Grant Cypress College’s five-year, $3.25 million U.S. Department of Education Title V grant reached its mid point. The grant is being used to enhance student success by providing support services in math, English, English as a Second Language, and reading. While it is specifically designated for Hispanic Serving Institutions, the grant’s services are intended to assist all Cypress College students. Such is the case with the Math Learning Center and the English Success Center — two academic support areas created inside the Library/Learning Resource Center. ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14

Facilities s Green Night

s Wiser Email

Continuing the campus practice of leading the way in energy efficiency, Cypress College’s Maintenance and Operations staff undertook a massive lighting retrofit project as part of a grant-funded initiative (see chart: “LEDing the Way”) to replace older lights with LEDs. Work also began in the summer on significant heating, ventilation, and air conditioning projects in three College buildings that will increase efficiency and reduce energy costs.

Another infrastructure project came to fruition as the College’s Academic Computing Department led the conversion to the Microsoft 365 platform for email and calendaring services. The new system required more than two years of planning, testing, and feedback all as part of the process to replace the outdated GroupWise system.

s Agents of Economy Being good stewards of public funding that residents entrust to Cypress College is a significant responsibility for campus leaders. One example of this is the resourcefulness of the College’s Physical Plant staff. In preparation for the start of the academic year, the staff developed new campus directory maps, which were beautifully mounted on matching, custom-built stands — each carefully crafted by our own staff from spare posts and room dividers that were recycled, refurbished, and re-allocated from previous campus projects.

The Gym floors were resurfaced. As part of this functional work, they also feature current athletics branding.

All of the College’s parking lots were resurfaced and re-painted.

Over 800 Charger fans attended the Legends of Hoops Night on February 21, 2014, where Cypress College basketball legends Swen Nater and Mark Eaton, and former Head Men’s Basketball Coach Don Johnson, were honored in a special ceremony.

s Trevor Hoffman MLB Award Major League Baseball announced that the National League relief pitcher of the year award will become the “Trevor Hoffman National League Reliever of the Year.” Hoffman earned 601 saves during his 18-year MLB career and was selected to the All-Star team seven times. He retired following the 2010 season as the all-time leader in saves and the highest career strikeout rate of any reliever. Hoffman played for the Chargers and Coach Scott Pickler during the 1985-86 season and was honored at the 2013 Cypress College Americana Awards as Man of the Year.

ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14

Nater played for Cypress College from 1968-1970 before moving on to UCLA and teams in the ABA and NBA. Eaton played for Cypress from 1978-80 before also moving on to UCLA and the Utah Jazz. Both legends played for Coach Johnson, who led his teams to 588 wins during his time as head coach from 1966-1994. During Johnson’s tenure, his team won two state titles (’77, ’80), and seven conference titles.
