KEEPING HOSTOS ON COURSE

Over the course of my career, I have served Eugenio María de Hostos Community College as dean, interim dean of academic affairs, and special assistant to the president. Since August, I have had the privilege of serving as its interim president. I have been given a distinct opportunity to build on the accomplishments of former leaders of the College and particularly on the work of my immediate predecessor, Félix Matos Rodríguez. Dr. Matos Rodríguez, an influential figure in urban education initiatives, put Hostos on the nation’s radar screen as a beacon of hope for traditionally underserved groups. Under his leadership, Hostos developed a shared vision and charted a clear strategic plan. At the midpoint of our five-year Strategic Plan, I am happy to report that progress continues. Leadership and professional development opportunities have multiplied on campus. Our engagement in workforce development has expanded substantially. Our collaborations to address critical infrastructure issues have proven fruitful. We have successfully created systems for ongoing planning and assessment, and our collective focus on student success is reflected in positive student outcomes: • First-time, full-time retention stands at 60.8 percent. • Our six-year graduation rate increased to 29.5 percent, up from the previous year. • The transfer rate for Associate in Arts and Associate in Science students reached 57.2 percent, already exceeding our five-year goal of 55 percent by 2016. • The transfer rate for Associate of Applied Science students held firm at 33.2 percent, again surpassing the five-year goal of 33 percent. My mission has been and continues to be to leverage and grow the intellectual assets of the College, to sustain and reinforce our momentum, and prepare Hostos for an even bolder, more exciting future. I am honored to be working with dedicated, gifted faculty and staff who each day devote themselves to advancing and enhancing the lives of what collectively we consider to be among the most promising college students in the nation. Sincerely,

David Gómez, Ed.D. Interim President of Hostos Community College
