| Abstract | Insufficient number of minority students have been transferring to selective four year public institutions in the state of California since the passage of Proposition 209 in 1997. Proposition 209 eliminated any consideration of race and gender when considering students for admissions. This has caused an inequity in the diversity of students attending such selective universities as the University of California Berkeley and the University of California at Los Angeles. The purpose of this study is to examine one program, the Center for Community College Partnerships (CCCP), developed by UCLA with the goal of increasing the number of under-represented minority students transferring to the 4 year institutions, especially UCLA.; Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to examine the success of the program. Qualitative research consisted of interviews with 15 former student participants of the Summer Intensive Transfer Experience (SITE) program, 5 members of the CCCP staff and 5 community college partners; SITE is a component of the CCCP. Quantitative data was obtained from the Center for Community College Partnership database.; Four research questions guided the study: 1) What have been the students' perceptions of the CCCP?; 2) How successful does the staff at the CCCP perceive they have been at meeting their objectives?; 3) How have the community college partners perceived the effectiveness of the CCCP?; 4) How does participation in the CCCP/SITE program influence transfer to a four year institution?; Overall, students' experiences with the CCCP/SITE program were positive. The primary reasons why students thought the program was a success included: experiencing a sense of community, developing a support system, development of academic focus, becoming clear about transferring to a four year university and finally developing a sense of empowerment and social awareness.; Quantitative data brought important information to light on first generation student status, and transfer rates, as well as the differences in the success of targeting and recruiting recent high school graduates to the program versus students directly from the community colleges. The study also examined the universities to which the student participants most often transferred.; The findings from this study can help educators who are interested in increasing diversity on their university campuses by creating partnerships with the community colleges in their state. |
