Charge
The Student Equity and Success Advisory Committee is responsible for strengthening equity outcomes and student success through the continuous assessment, design, and implementation of goals aligned with Ventura College’s Educational Master Plan and Student Equity Plan. The committee serves as a hub for communication, coordinating equity initiatives, and monitoring progress on key student success metrics. It works through cross functional workgroups and equity action teams to drive actionable improvements, ensuring that recommendations made to the College and initiatives for future Student Equity Plans help close equity gaps and support the success of all students, especially those from historically excluded groups.
Workgroups are assigned as needed for activities such as implementing and evaluating elements of the Student Equity Plan (SEP), advancing SEP and institutional equity work, preparing reports for the institution and state reporting, and drafting subsequent versions of the SEP.
The Committee meets monthly during the academic year on the second Wednesday of every month from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m.
