Dear Faculty Colleagues, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past year, many of you have\noffered to help increase new student enrollment. I am writing to you about how you\ncan help the college’s enrollment challenge by building stronger\nfaculty-to-faculty relationships with colleagues at regional community colleges\nand high schools\u2014especially those serving historically marginalized students.\nBy expanding discipline-specific collegial relationships and engaging in\nrelated public scholarship and service, we can help make Evergreen more\nvisible, welcoming, understandable, and relevant to local students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current Washington State education goals\ncall for a dramatic increase in 4-year college completion rates. This is an\nopportune context for us to connect with high school and 2yr institutions that\nshare this goal. The challenge of providing engaging online instruction also\npresents an opportunity for reaching out to regional colleagues. As part of our\nprofessional networking, public scholarship, and public service, we can offer\nto share online resources, host a joint event, talk with students about college\nand career options in our fields, provide a guest lecture, etc. Such events\nopen opportunities to talk about what studies in our discipline look like at\nEvergreen and how this differs from other colleges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

IESS, in collaboration with Wade\nArave (Director of Admissions),\nthe CAT Leaders, and the Admissions, Recruitment, and Marketing Pool governance\ngroup, would like to help you participate in such outreach efforts. We are\nconvening a conversation on Nov. 13th for faculty interested in working to\nenhance our public profile and reputation through public scholarship and collegial\nrelationship building. Wade will be present to share a variety of outreach\nstrategies. Collectively, we will talk about how we can support one another in\nthis effort and the kinds of institutional assistance that might be useful\ngoing forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please consider joining us\nfor a Conversation about Community College and High School\nOutreach: Friday,\nNov. 13th, from 1-2:30 pm.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contact Lori Blewett (blewettl@evergreen.edu<\/a>) to receive a zoom link. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’d also like to identify faculty who\nalready have strong professional relationships with community colleges or high\nschool faculty and\/or are already engaged in the kinds of activities described\nabove. We’d like to hear from you to learn from your experience, avoid\nduplicating efforts, and build on your work where appropriate. If you\nhave experiences to share, please send a brief description of the kinds of\ncommunity college or high school outreach you’ve been doing <\/strong>to blewettl@evergreen.edu<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
