Rodriguez, Max
In 1985-86, LaGuardia Community College (LCC) completed the developmental phase of a project aimed at increasing the number of minority, low-income urban students who transfer from LCC and complete a baccalaureate degree. During the year, the program had the following achievements: (1) linkages were established with the City University of New York (CUNY); (2) together with Baruch and Queens Colleges, LCC developed and implemented a joint admissions program; (3) contacts were initiated with State Univerity of New York campuses; (4) work with private colleges and universities led to various activities to help students develop a plan to pursue scholarships and private funding sources; (5) a second institute was held at Vassar College with 22 LCC students participating; (6) 57 juniors and seniors from six local high schools were selected to participate in the Credit Bank Program; (7) a Career Development Module was designed to introduce educational and career planning in the required Freshman Seminar; (8) a Transfer Seminar was designed to assist with educational planning, college selection, and the application process; (9) the counseling staff increased its responsibilities regarding transfer; (10) two College Transfer Fairs were held; and (11) a Transfer Information Guide was developed to provide complete information on how a particular curriculum transfers to a parallel program at a four-year college. The project report provides an overview of these accomplishments as well as a description of related support services, a summary of evaluation goals and procedures, and budgetary information for the period studied. Five appendixes make up the bulk of the report. They include a copy of The Transfer Guide, the Career Development Module, a student workbook for the Transfer Seminar, and the Boruch/LaGuardia and Queens/LaGuardia joint admissions letters. (EJV)
