Institutionalizing Student Learning, Access and Success
Project ISLAS was funded through the Title V Developing Hispanic Serving Institutions Program of the U.S. Department of Education. Its primary objective was to build a university-going culture in the region and strengthen university infrastructure and programs that further promote 91ÊÓƵ’s commitment to fostering diversity, facilitating access and promoting educational attainment.
Project ISLAS was a cross-divisional collaboration with a campus-wide and regional impact. Project components included:
- Getting Ready: To improve the university readiness of Ventura County’s future university students by developing targeted outreach programs for students in public high schools and community colleges.
- Getting Through: To increase the retention and educational attainment of CI students by developing a University Experience Program that focuses on the academic success of students in their freshman year and of students in their transfer year.
