  1. Ready, Set, Transfer!Improving Transfer & Articulation Rates from 2-year to 4-year Institutions Title V STEM Transfer & Graduation Project

  2. Student Completion! • Compare educational attainment data of students in NACADA Region 10 • Recommendations to enhance transfer assistance • Lasting benefits to both institutions “Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand.” ~Chinese Proverb

  3. National Data • In 2007, the U.S. was ranked 10th in the world in educational attainment • By 2030, 76 million U.S. workers will be eligible to retire, but only 41 million new workers will be added to the labor force • By 2030, 90% of STEM and Health Care jobs will require some college • Source: Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Education at a Glance 2010 “The future belongs to the nation That best educates its citizens…” President Barak Obama, Address to the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, 2009

  7. New Mexico Data • 46% Hispanic, 10% Native American, 41% White1 • 27.1% of population under 65 are at or below poverty level2 • NM high school graduation rates for 2007 = 54.6% (U.S. 68.8%)3 • Ranked 47th in associate degree attainment or higher for 25-34 year olds, 48th in 6-year graduation rates for bachelor degrees.4 1U.S. Census Bureau, 2009 Estimates Program 2Educational Needs, Index 2005 3Diplomas Count, 2010 4 College Completion Agenda, 2010 College Board

  8. A branch campus to UNM Main Campus in Albuquerque since 1978 Serves as a community college to a large rural area (Valencia, N. Socorro, and W. Torrance Counties) Serves over 2,500 students per semester 22 Associate Degree or Certificate Programs 7 STEM-based Associate Degrees UNM Valencia

  9. UNM Valencia Students • 56% self identify as Hispanic • 58% are first generation college students • 75% receive need-based grants and loans • Many of our students lack access to high speed internet and depend on such campus resources

  11. Title V STEM Graduation and Transfer Project • Awarded October 1, 2008 • Goal: To increase the number of Hispanic and other low income students attaining degrees in fields of science, technology, engineering or mathematics. Objective 1: Increase the number of STEM Associate Degree recipients. Objective 2: Improve success rate in gateway courses. Objective 3: Implement a model transfer program.

  12. Title V STEM Graduation and Transfer Project Objective 1 : Increase the overall graduation rates for STEM degrees • UNIV 101: STEM Career Awareness and course preparation • New Campus Technology – Classroom Capture

  13. Title V STEM Graduation and Transfer Project Objective 2: Increase overall success rates in STEM gateway courses • MATH 118 & 119: Algebra Stretch I & II • MATH 120: Intermediate Algebra

  14. Route MapHide Title V STEM Graduation and Transfer Project Objective 3: Implement a Model Transfer Program from UNM-Valencia to UNM-Main

  15. Our Formula for Success Exposure Education Experience • Advising • Career Counseling • STEM Professional Presentations • Specialized Tutoring • STEM Articulated Degrees • Highly qualified instructors for gateway courses • Field Trips • STEM Oriented Classes • Hands on experience with state of the art technology (2 MAC Labs 1 Film and 1 Game Design, organic motion technology, & Class Room Capture) • Assisted transition

  16. Transfer Assistance • Transfer Advisor • Mentor and assist transitioning students • Maintain an office at UNM Valencia and UNM Main • Individualized appointments at Main campus • Bridge between campuses • Appointments • Individual or small group • Specifically tailored to each student • Provides exposure to Main Campus as the transition occurs (many students have never even visited Main!)

  17. UNM Main Field Trips • Interdisciplinary Film and Digital Media • Engineering • Biology • Transfer Workshops • Opportunity to visit main campus with familiar faces and make crucial connections • Small group (30+) • Provide critical information • Campus Tour

  18. Transfer Data UNM Valencia to UNM Main

  19. Benefits of Collaboration • Firm link within the UNM system • Improved and increased flow of information • Collaboration between campus departments • Visibility at Main Campus • Improved student satisfaction

  20. Future Plans • Expand transfer assistance to additional four year universities • Continue to encourage transfer within STEM fields to all students • Early high school outreach to attract and prepare students for STEM careers
