2023 Student and Employee DSPS Survey Results This is a follow-up to our conversations in the last two meetings about how the college serves students who have disabilities and their feelings of inclusion at the college. ARC distributed CCCCO DSPS surveys to employees and students in October in cooperation with Joe Rust. Attached are the results, and Joe Rust is aware they are being shared with the Council. I will briefly summarize the results and share related PD ideas in development with the Council. There will be opportunity for the Council to give input based on PD that could increase the inclusivity of students with disabilities at the college. Jen Laflam 30 min.
Dr. Bill Zangeneh-Lester looks forward to discussing the following questions with the Student Success Council: What impacts are the crisis in Israel and Palestine having on our students and staff? What can be done to ensure a safer campus climate that is resistant to rising rates of Antisemitism and Islamophobia? How can the Department of Humanities and Religious Studies and the Student Success Council lend support during these difficult times? Bill Zangeneh-Lester (1:30pm) 30 min.
OER Resource Panel Following their October presentation, Sarah and Kate asked if the SSC would consider creating an OER Resource Panel* to explore how to make it easier for students to get print copies of their OERs. They offered to serve on the panel and included a potential list of representatives from the following areas to be considered: - Printing services - Instructional faculty - Student services - The bookstore - A dean who has experience with this issue * To learn more about Resource Panels, access the following link: https://igor.arc.losrios.edu/Agenda/DownloadFile?fileId=863 Frank Kobayashi 20 min.
