Enhanced Goal Achievement

By James Earl Johnson

Candidate for Governing Board Member; Pasadena Area Community College District; Trustee Area 1

This information is provided by the candidate
Increase Student Transfer Rate
Upon entering college, thirty per cent of the P.C.C. students surveyed planned to transfer to four-year institutions. Only 5% actually reached their goal. What happened to the other 25%? We must find out the reasons that dreams were not reached.

I will ask all students to contact any Trustee to learn how the Board may help students graduate and transfer. As Trustee, I will ask our administrative staff to survey those students who drop-out before completing studies to learn why they were leaving. We need to know their opinion about curriculum, instruction, faculty, and staff to enable all students who plan to transfer to actually be able to do so.
