The purpose of outreach is to identify potentially qualified students of color not yet in the College database. There are several outreach programs which include travel to high schools with diverse enrollments, campus visitation by underrepresented groups and individuals, summer bridge programs and disseminating literature on the level of diversity and the College's efforts to increase minority representation.
Recruitment encourages prospective students of color to apply for admission.
The selection process targets minority students for assistance in completing applications and application review. As a result of these efforts the percentage of minority students enrolled at CC has increased over the last 4 years. Cindy Zomchek agreed to begin organizing ideas for a fall or spring seminar on student diversity awareness on campus. She encouraged anyone with ideas for new approaches to these issues to discuss them with her. Victor Nelson-Cisneros led a discussion on the possibility of a CC diversity web site.
