Dr. Janet Fulks, a faculty expert on Guid-
ed Pathways and Strategic Enrollment
Management from Bakersfield College
and representative of the State Academ-
ic Senate was this year’s Convocation keynote speaker.
Dr. Fulks and her team led a student panel discussion re-
garding the student experience at Yuba College. Dr.
Fulks continued the afternoon packed house session hav-
ing participants locate programs of study on the Yuba
College webpage. This work will
lead into the reorganization of
college academic programs as
part of the Guided Pathways im-
plementation process.
Reading Apprenticeship Workshop This interactive workshop, held August 8-9, 2019, intro-
duced faculty, staff, and peer tutors from across the disci-
plines to the Reading Apprenticeship framework, a re-
search-based approach to helping students with discipline-
specific problem-solving strategies. Reading Apprentice-
ship educators learn to recognize their own subject area
expertise and to apprentice students into the ways of
reading, writing, thinking, talking, and reasoning in their
fields. Students are explicitly supported to build identities
as people who can solve academic
problems and persevere. As a re-
sult, students develop the literacy
competencies, subject area knowledge, and the learner dispo-
sitions they need—for school,
college, careers, and life. The workshop was facilitated by
Professor Shawn Frederking and Walter Masuda.
Early College High School In preparation for the YCUSD’s Early College
High School inaugural semester, an Open
House at Sutter County Center was held Au-gust 14, 2019. with more than 75 students and
their guests in attendance.
Event coordinator, CTE Director Sandy Fowler
and STEM Dean Michael Bagley hosted YCUSD
High School teachers for lunch in preparation
for the evening program. These faculty are en-
gaged and ready to have a fabulous semester!
Key Yuba City Unified reps that attended the event: were Pamela Aurangzeb - Assistant Su-
perintendent; Erick Jenkins - Coordinator of
Secondary Edu-
cation; Sandra
Torres - Admin-
istrative Assis-
tant Educational
Services; and
Superintendent,
Doreen Ozumi.
O n Thursday August 1, 2019,
Counselors met with vari-
ous faculty and student service
programs to provide updates. Na-
than Schemel, the college’s new
Mass Communications instructor
shared his vision for the program
and how counselors and faculty
can work together to support
students. Updates were also re-
ceived from CTE Programs along
with EOPS, CalWORKs, Dusty’s
Pantry, Financial Aid, and Cal
Fresh. Susan Jow from Admissions
and Records presented TES, a
transfer evaluation tool; and Cas-
sie Leal presented graduation sur-
vey trends over the past few
years in regards to counseling.
She reported that students are
reporting much more positive
comments about Counseling than
3 years ago, and negative com-
ments in regards to Counseling
dropped by more than 50%.
Then on Friday Aug 2nd, a college
closure day, counselors spent
time aligning the catalog with pro-
gram changes. This was an oppor-
tunity to dialogue, and begin the
process so that no matter what
counselor a student visits, the
same information and advisement
is communicated.
The “Just In Time Orientation”
held Friday, August 16, 2019
was a grand success, with over
300 new students attending!
Students were provided essen-
tial information such as im-
portant Admissions & Records
deadlines, resources and ser-
vices to support students, finan-
cial aid, catalog education and
transfer opportunities.
Students then had the oppor-
tunity to meet and ask specific
questions with over 18 different
programs/services. Events like
this begin to create a sense be-l o n g i n g t o t h e c a m -
pus community for our new
students.
