GateWay Community College, a majority-minority serving institution with a large population of part-time students, serves a diverse population of nearly 7,300 students from the Greater Phoenix area and Maricopa County, Arizona. GateWay’s proposal, Equitable Experience Infused Through Out (ÉXITO) GateWay: a holistic approach to foster student well-being and academic attainment encompasses GateWay’s vision to develop a proactive, student-ready culture that sets the stage for student success from the College’s first contact with a student, through graduation, and beyond. Furthermore, éxito in Spanish means, “success” and it is the College’s desire to support students to succeed. Title V funding supports the retention and preparedness of students attending a Hispanic-serving institution.
GateWay's Title V program is designed to increase student success by strengthening developmental education and implementing early academic support strategies. Grant funds will be used to:
- Design a comprehensive faculty development program
- Promote the availability of academic support services
- Establish a student tracking and assessment system
Goals of the Title V Grant
- Improve student persistence and course completion by strengthening developmental education and expanding academic support.
- Improve student preparedness for academic success by implementing early student support strategies for students as they enter college.
- Improve student support services by establishing a data collection and tracking system that provides information on student progression.
