UPDATES AND BRIEF REPORTS:
Topic Person(s) Responsible Notes
Presentation of Survey Analyses/Key Findings Yuj Shimizu
Yuj presented a powerpoint summarizing information of a written report of the same information
General finding: most API students have had a positive experience at ARC
New revelation: API/DI students had worse or less positive experiences at ARC than non-DI API students
Yuj will do a deeper analysis in Spring 
After we get grades finalized and in database (February) can start doing correlations on entire survey w/ course success, drops, and persistence
Need to have final report to the college by end of February
Objectives for our report that we can now tie to data
Develop a profile of API students at the college
What are the barriers that perpetuate systems of power and privilege at the college and affect our API students
What are the motivators that inspire and produce positive outcomes for students
     
ACTION ITEMS:
Question Person(s) Responsible Notes and Decision(s) Next Steps
Establish date for first meeting in Spring 21 Raquel Arata 5
Send a doodle poll for Spring to determine what works best for everyone
First meeting: January, week of the 25th

Establish action items and/or assignments following survey findings discussion. Raquel Arata & Neue Leung Suggestion to “vet” what we are thinking through PRISE peer mentors to see if they agree or have feedback/comments
Need to figure out what is next in terms of further inquiry
Focus groups in January?
Maybe start summarizing the few things we’ve talked about today as barriers and motivators (role models, having a place, seeing people that are representative of their own ethnicity) into the sections
Neue has been working on Lit review
Others who are aware of research speaking to barriers could add to the document about this
We also need to work on high impact practices
Neue said we are looking for a cover photo for our report and this has been a challenge. If anyone has photos that could potentially be used please contact Neue because what she has from PRISE includes students that haven’t signed a release form


DISCUSSION ITEMS:
Question Person(s) Responsible Notes and Next Steps
Student Survey Results (continued): What do the survey results show, and what insights or ideas may be gleaned about the needs, experience, barriers, and motivators of our API students from this data? What, if any, additional areas warrant further exploration? All
