2
What We Need to Know
  • Who are our program participant students?
  • How do program participants fare once they are at
    Berkeley?
  • Objective institutional outcome measures
  • What students themselves tell us about their
    experience (UCUES)

3
Who are our program participant students who
enter as fall freshmen?
  • A note about transfer students
  • Definitions and numbers
  • Characteristics

Program Participant Student Characteristics
  • Just over 35 Underrepresented Minority just

  • Two-thirds 1st generation college
  • Half of all Underrepresented Minority and
    one-fifth of all Asian freshmen (close to half
    for Vietnamese freshmen) are Program Participant
    students

Institutional Outcomes for PPS
  • Contrasting research hypotheses
  • Adjustment and recovery
  • Version A - Revolving door
  • Version B - Catch-up take-off
  • Cumulative effects of relative disadvantage
  • Version A - Academic progress barriers
  • Version B - Cumulative impact of modest disad.
  • Retention rates
  • Graduation rates
  • Cumulative UC GPA

Conclusions
  • Program participant students who enter Cal as
    freshmen are finding pathways to academic
    success!
  • There are significant challenges in terms of
    ongoing demands on the students and the quality
    of the undergraduate experience.
  • Our results suggest a new middle years focus
    for support.

25
Final Message
  • The numbers presented today are just the starting
    point for deeper inquiry
  • More quantitative analyses to, for example,
    pinpoint patterns of success by student
    characteristic, field of study, etc.
  • Qualitative and real person accounts

UCUES 2006
  • Every student has a voice. Every voice must be
    heard.
  • Summer phase to encourage students to complete
    UCUE in June
