  13. This Is Not “Rocket Surgery”: The Remodeling Is Underway • In the District • College and Credential Completion Network • OSSE Scholars Program • College Retention Initiative • Adult College Completion Initiative (and much more!) • And Across the Country* • CSU-San Diego, Riverside, Long Beach • Washington State University • USC • Virginia Commonwealth University • UNC-Wilmington • Georgia State University • Northeastern University (and many more!) * The Education Trust: Advancing to Completion http://www.edtrust.org/dc/press-room/news/advancing-to-completion

  14. But Remodeling Is Hard Work! Values-based culture change Reallocation of resources Relentless focus on data Culture of shared accountability Partnerships with K-12, community, employers Leadership Commitment Redesigned Practices • Cohesive core curriculum • Simplified student-pathways • High quality student supports • Proactive/intrusive advising • Cohort/project based learning

  15. So What Is an Advisor/Mentor to Do?

  16. Be a Vocal Advocate for the 21st Century Student • Demand a relentless focus on transparent data to drive decisions: stop doing what doesn’t work • Join or help create networks and partnerships supporting students’ college access and success • Help colleges do their part and hold them accountable

  17. Design and Implement a 21st Century Support System for 21st Century Students • Create partnerships with K-12, faculty, employers, and the community • Focus on pathways to college and career (its about learning AND jobs) • Infuse technology to expand capacity, improve quality, and reduce costs

  18. Design and Implement a 21st Century Advising/Mentoring System for 21st Century Students • Work to provide advisors/mentors who look like the students you serve • Support accelerated progress to degrees • Focus on the whole student: financial, cultural, academic needs • Focus on transitions (Middle to HS, HS to college, transfer, college to work)

  19. Design and Implement a 21st Century Advising/Mentoring System for 21st Century Students • Create one stops to ensure students find all financial supports available • Provide students/parents with information on the value of college and the multiple paths to a credential • Demand information on college outcomes and help students “match” to the college that is best for them
