Institutional Strengths

Great support from non-academic areas such as counseling, tutoring, etc. promoting enrollment. Marketing has improved over the years and we have a presence on the website as well as the course schedule that goes out each semester. Spring 2012 we try our first accelerated learning project (ALP) which features college level writing and the second level developmental writing courses.

Institutional Weaknesses

We currently face many challenges: (1) we don't offer faculty a stipend or release time for content development; (2) many faculty aren't motivated to teach using the learning community model for fear the courses won't run; (3) getting gateway instructors to pair with developmental instructors.
