Dear Community,

We are midway through Black Student Success Week. The week has certainly lived up to its title!

At noon today, the Campaign for College Opportunity announces its 2023 Champion for Excelling in Equitable Course Placement, an award Foothill College has been recognized for in the past.  Press releases will go out after the announcement, but the awards are already posted on their website. In our award letter, Foothill College was recognized for the following:

(1) Campuswide English Enrollment:

Successfully supported 100% of their students to enroll directly into transfer level English coursework. 

(2) Latinx English Enrollment:

Successfully supported 100% of their Latinx students to enroll directly into transfer level English coursework.

(3) Black English Enrollment:

Successfully supported 100% of their Black students to enroll directly into transfer level English coursework.

(4) Campuswide English Success:

Foothill College finished in the top 3 of all California Community Colleges in supporting their students who enrolled in a transfer English courses to successfully complete it within 1 year of their initial enrollment.

(5) Campuswide Math Success:

This is timely news to receive as we are lifting a framework of excellence!

I look forward to joining the #BSSW event at the Hearthside Lounge today–in less than one hour–at 11:00 am for Fresh Prince of Bel Air Porch Talk w/ Umoja and a “meet and greet” with the African American Network afterward. It’s also not too late to RSVP for Equitable Outcomes in Healthcare with the renowned Dr. Robert Ross, 5:30–7:30 p.m., Appreciation Hall 1501. Reserve your seat!
