East Bay

California State University East Bay (CSUEB), opened in 1959 with 300 students on one campus. Since then, it has grown to serve over 14,000 students on three campuses. The motto of our university is “Per Aspera Ad Astra”, or “Through Adversity to the Stars”. This is an apt motto given that our university is the most racially and ethnically diverse campus in the continental United States (The Chronicle of Higher Education, 2014), and 61% of our undergraduate students are the first in their families to earn a college degree (Office of Institutional Research, personal communication, March 9, 2015). Our students are also highly diverse in terms of age, ability status, parenting experience, immigration background, sexual orientation, gender, religion, and much more. Though the diversity of our campus provides ample opportunities for faculty, staff, and students to be exposed to multiple perspectives, we have learned that intentional efforts are required to build an inclusive, accessible, and responsive community. This article describes strategies we have employed over the past five years across three broad areas: (a) support for student learning, engagement, and retention; (b) professional development; and (c) policies around inclusion and access. Preliminary evaluation of these efforts suggests that we have made significant progress in building an inclusive campus that supports student learning, respects all members of the campus community, and facilitates our continuing engagement in this work.

In this article, we report on an 11-year study that explores approaches to improve student success in college by a five-week summer program in Mathematics and Lan­guage Arts for entering freshmen. To recruit students into the program, we invited stu­dents accepted at the university and listed as underrepresented and economically disadvantaged (Pell-eligible) by the Office of Institutional Research at California State University, Northridge. The program con­sisted of all-day Math and English enhance­ment in mixed ability groups. Results of this program examining Math and English performance at California State University, Northridge showed that students com­pleting the summer programs during the 11-year study period had improved pass rates in Math and English at California State University, Northridge compared with students in a control group who did not participate in the summer program. The results show that intensive pre-college enhancement for entering freshmen can improve student success in college. Student graduation data from the early cohorts (2010, 2011, 2012) were obtained from Institutional Research. The summary results showed that students from the accepted/ attending group had substantially increased GPAs and graduation rates, essentially clos­ing the achievement gap. Increased interest in biomedical research careers was also de­veloped by the program, as demonstrated by a five-fold number of summer enrich­ment participants entering the PhD, MARC (Minority Access to Research Careers) and RISE (Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement) programs than students who did not attend summer enrichment.

Reentry and nonreentry women were compared on their reasons for being in school, goals associated with education, and campus services used or wanted. Eighty-two California State University, Hayward, undergraduate students volunteered to participate in the questionnaire survey. Reentry women were found to be more self-motivated, with higher educational goals, and higher grade point averages than nonreentry women. Reentry women also made less use of currently available student services. Reasons for this lack of use, and suggestions for future services were explored.

Time Basis

At California State University, East Bay, reference is one component of a comprehensive instructional program in information literacy. Based on this approach, the focus of reference is on teachable moments on a just-in-time basis rather than a means by which users, primarily students, are simply provided with answers to their questions. This chapter provides a description of the role of reference within that context and describes the various services offered.

In 2009, California State University-Chico implemented a unique system of course redesign with the aim of improving student learning, increasing instructional efficiency, and reducing university costs. Inspired by and modeled after the National Center for Academic Transformation, the “Academy e-Learning” program involves a 3-week training covering models of course design, learning theories, assessment methods, and a host of instructional technologies. This paper summarizes data from 40 courses, across five separate cohort groups from 2009–2013, with respect to the efficacy of Academy e-Learning (re)design training. Data show improvements in student learning outcomes in over half of the course redesigns. Benefits of course redesign included increased instructional efficiency, enhanced student learning, and a reduction in university costs by offering some instruction online and increasing enrollment caps. Barriers to a successful course redesign included lack of time, technology malfunction, and workload concerns. This paper outlines the redesign process at California State University-Chico, discusses similar redesign initiatives at other institutions, and offers solutions for measuring effectiveness of a redesigned course.

Development research using the Borg and Gall product model combined with the learning development model of Dick and Carey. The results of the study showed: (1) learning video media is feasible to use in character makeup learning in the field state university education education program, (2) there are significant differences between student learning outcomes learned using the character makeup video learning media with student learning outcomes which was learned by using media learning textbooks. This is indicated by the results of processing data (tcount = 3.285) at the significance level ɑ = 0.05 with dk 56 obtained  (ttable = 1.67), so that (tcount> t table), effectiveness of using media character makeup learning videos = 80.46%. The learning outcomes of the group of students who were taught without using the character makeup learning video media amounted to 71.72%. From these data prove that the use of character makeup learning video media is more effective in increasing students' competence and knowledge in character makeup learning than without using learning video media. Keywords: learning video media, character makeup, makeup education
