Bridges between Merced Community College and Stanislaus StateOutreach and Advising A Stanislaus State Admissions & Outreach counselor is on the Merced College maincampus every other week, as well as the Los Banos extension campus once a month,to provide advising to Merced College students interested in transferring toStanislaus State, and is available to meet with Merced College counselors to sharenew information and respond to questions.Stanislaus State Admissions & Outreach counselors regularly deliver classpresentations on admissions and transfer information in Merced College guidanceclasses.Stanislaus State Admissions & Outreach counselors participate in several MercedCollege transfer activities and events, such as Merced College’s Transfer Day, CollegeNight, end-of-year Transfer Recognition Event, and application workshops.The College of Education, Kinesiology, and Social Work Teacher Recruitment andRetention Program (TRRP) has established a new relationship this year with MercedCollege in support of future teachers and counselors. Through this newcollaboration, TRRP now delivers at Merced College fall informational meetings withcounselors on teacher education requirements and support services for futureteachers, informational workshops twice a semester for future teachers, andadvising and information sessions with prospective teacher education students.Stanislaus State, in partnership with Fresno State, administers the MulticulturalScholars Program (MSP), a United States Department of Agriculture – NationalInstitute of Food and Agriculture funded program (Dr. Oluwarotimi Odeh, PrincipalInvestigator). Through outreach to local community colleges, including MercedCollege, MSP is designed to meet the national need for scientists trained in the foodand agricultural sciences by recruiting, training, and pipelining 10underrepresented outstanding students into productive careers in the food andagricultural industry. The program provides scholarship support for students fromcommunity colleges, with academic support at a maximum funding level of 6,500per scholar per year for two years, plus a one-time Summer Internship placementwith a 4,000 stipend. The program includes an academic mentor for each scholar,and professional development opportunities during the college experience.Currently, one Merced College transfer is an MSP award recipient and programparticipant at Stanislaus State.Stanislaus State’s Accounting and Finance Department, in partnership with MercedCollege, other community colleges in the region, and UC Merced, sponsor the annualManagement Accountants Student Night. This outreach and networking eventserves as a venue for Stanislaus State faculty to connect with Merced College andother community college students to share information about the profession and themajor.Page 1 of 44
Professional Collaboration The Stanislaus State Articulation Officer (AO) works closely with the Merced CollegeAO on all transfer matters, and ensures the two-way information flow iscontinuously up to date.o The Stanislaus State AO helps ensure Stanislaus State Admissions &Outreach counselors are current on all changes in articulation betweenMerced College and Stanislaus State.o The Merced College AO helps ensure appropriate personnel at MercedCollege are current.Stanislaus State Admissions & Outreach hosts an annual Transfer Partner Breakfastwith regional CCCs, including Merced College, to provide updates on transfer-relatedtopics and to share best practices with each other.A Stanislaus State Admissions & Outreach counselor sits on the Merced CollegeTransfer Advisory Committee to help ensure and maintain a current two-waycommunication channel.Stanislaus State Admissions & Outreach counselors regularly collaborate withMerced College counselors to provide updates on transfer-related topics, share bestpractices with each other, and help ensure and maintain a current two-waycommunication channel.The Department of Liberal Studies at Stanislaus State hosts an annual LiberalStudies Advisory Meeting for regional CCCs, including Merced College, where AOs,counselors, and evaluators from Stanislaus State and the CCCs discuss articulationand transfer matters and ensure personnel at both ends are current. Stanislaus Statealso provides at this meeting updates on California teacher credentialingrequirements, as most Liberal Studies students plan to move on to the MultipleSubject or the Education Specialist Credential Program.Stanislaus State’s Accounting and Finance Department collaborates with regionalcommunity colleges, including Merced College, on curriculum development andarticulation issues.Agreements Stanislaus State has a partnership with Merced College for STEM majors as a resultof the Department of Education HSI STEM Articulation grant received in 2011. Thatproject established the Warriors on the Way 2 STEM (WOW 2 STEM, now calledSTEM Success) program, designed to expand and strengthen transfer articulationpractices across top regional feeder campuses, with Merced College being one of thepartner campuses in the grant project (see Appendix A for the subrecipientagreement). The grant period ended September 2016, and an MOU is currently inprogress outlining the ongoing partnership.Stanislaus State has a partnership with Merced College through the National ScienceFoundation subaward to Stanislaus State from the University of Texas at El Paso,titled “Using Evidence-Based Educational Practices to Prepare and Support HighlyQualified Students with Financial Need for Careers in Computing and CyberSecurity.” The agreement with Merced College totals 60,000 and spans three years,from September 15, 2016 through August 31, 2019 (see Appendix B for the MOU).The project provides scholarships to four computer science students at MercedCollege during their final year before transferring to Stanislaus State. The studentPage 2 of 44
participants continue to receive scholarship support after transferring to StanislausState, through graduation.Three agreements were established in 1999 (though no longer in effect) thatfacilitated Stanislaus State’s use of space and instructional television equipment atthe Tri-College Center in Merced, CA as part of a collaborative between MercedCommunity College District, UC Merced, and Stanislaus State for coordinated andcooperative teaching, student outreach, professional development and training, andvideo conferencing (see Appendices C, D, and E).Articulation There are two centralized databases that all CCC students, including Merced Collegestudents, can use to identify clear pathways to all CSUs, including Stanislaus State.o ASSIST SIST is the official articulation database system managed by the CCC, CSU,and UC systems. ASSIST is utilized by advisors, counselors, and evaluators atboth Merced College and Stanislaus State for accurate and effective advisingsessions and successful transfer of Merced College students. Any CCCstudent can use the system to identify, by major, courses that can becompleted at their respective CC, guaranteed to transfer and count towardthe major at the destination campus. A Merced College student can enterhis/her campus, enter Stanislaus State as the destination CSU, and enter themajor, and see all the LD courses that can be taken at Merced College thatcount toward the major requirements at Stanislaus State.o Associate Degrees for Transfer .shtml):The ADT database is managed by the CSU. Any CCC student can use thesystem to identify which ADTs/similar programs exist between his/her CCCand the destination CSU campus. So a Merced College student can enterhis/her campus, enter Stanislaus State as the destination CSU, and enterhis/her major of interest to see what similar ADT majors exist at StanislausState. The Merced College student can also not limit the search to a specificmajor of interest, and see all the ADT/similar programs (including all majorsand concentrations) that exist between Merced College and Stanislaus State.Currently, there are 101 ADT/similar programs that exist between MercedCollege and Stanislaus State (see Appendix F for a complete listing).Enclosed is a sample outreach one-sheet used to inform prospectivestudents about our ADTs (see Appendix G).Predating ADTs, Stanislaus State, in collaboration with Merced College, ModestoJunior College, and San Joaquin Delta College, established in 2002 its agricultureprogram. Stanislaus State’s Bachelor of Science in Agriculture program fostersrelationships with area community colleges through the implementation of a "2 2"program design. This 2 2 program is designed such that individuals who have anA.S. degree or equivalent in lower-division coursework in Agriculture, AgriculturalScience, Agricultural Economics, and closely related fields from community collegescan experience seamless transfer toward obtaining their bachelor degree. Targetedoutreach to Merced College and other regional community colleges is delivered tohelp ensure seamless transfer of geographically bound students to Stanislaus State.Page 3 of 44
