The Student Success Committee is a standing committee of the Academic Senate. “The Student Success Committee will research, evaluate, and make recommendations to the Senate regarding staff development, instructional practices, and related resource allocation as they pertain to student success, including basic skills development, student learning, and related statewide or national initiatives. Recommendations regarding organizational and administrative practices, program components, and related resource allocations as they pertain to student success efforts will be made by the Committee to the institution.” (http://zsfi.hzdl.net/departments/governance/academicsenate/documents/2011-12/SENATE%20BYLAWS%203.30.2011.pdf)
While the Student Success Committee was created from the Basic Skills Initiative (BSI) Committee with our Title III grant, which sunset September 30, 2013, the Student Success Committee continues to foster innovation and improvement in support of student success and completion. Currently, the Student Success Committee makes recommendations to Leadership regarding appropriate expenditures for BSI/SSBS funds, and coordinates student success-related efforts across campus with Student Equity, Student Success and Support Program, the Innovation Award steering committee, the Basic Skills Student Outcomes and Transformation Grant ("Transformation"), the Guided Pathways initiative, Dual Enrollment, and Career Pathways leadership.

The Student Success Committee supports the college to meet its student achievement standards in Basic Skills course success, persistence, and developmental stand completion through nurturing innovation and adoption of best practices in Basic Skills program delivery.
The Student Success Committee has been instrumental in deploying Strategy 1.a.1, Implementing a Guided Pathways model, by making this topic its focus for the 2015-2016 academic year and forwarding a recommendation to the Academic Senate that the college explore with the intent to adopt a Guided Pathways model.
The Committee also directs considerable energy and funds in support of Strategy 2.b., Employee Development, by providing professional development embedded in its meetings; coordinating, collaborating, and funding professional development opportunities on and off campus in Basic Skills-related arenas.

Strategy 1 - Support Student Progress and Completion
As lead committee for numerous tasks on the Butte College Progress and Completion Model, guide efforts to support successful student entry, progress, and completion, as outlined in the document. Manage communication to the campus community in support of these efforts.
Effective coordination among various funding streams facilitated through the Student Success Committee maximizes efficient use of resources, reducing duplication of efforts and distributing resources more equitably among student populations with demonstrated needs.
Strategy 2 - Support Campus Student Success / BSI Projects
Support initiatives and/or activities that are approved by the Student Success Committee via:
1. Initiation by members of the committee
2. Development by the committee at monthly meetings
3. Proposals submitted to the committee by non-members and prioritized in the unit planning process
The following is part of the mission statement of the Student Success Committee:
"Recommendations regarding organizational and administrative practices, program components, and related resource allocations as they pertain to student success efforts will be made by the Committee to the institution.” Having funding to support such recommendations allows the college to move forward approved initiatives.
Strategy 3 - Support Professional Development
Continue to Support Travel and Training in Support of Student Success Projects
Specific training is being offered by 3CSN for specific effective practices on an ongoing basis. Other valuable training is available via conferences such as the Strengthening Student Success Conference (RP Group), Leading from the Middle, and specific professional organizations (CRLA, ACTLA, NADE, SI, FYE, TESOL, ASCCC, Carnegie Foundation, etc.). This strategy supports efforts of the Student Success Committee to identify effective practices, make program improvements, and network with colleagues in the state in support of CCCCO, BSI, Student Equity, SSSP, and SSTF recommendations.

BSI/SSBS funding can cover all currently anticipated costs for the 2017-18 year. Note that the current Basic Skills Initiative program will sunset at the end of the current fiscal year, and will be succeeded by the incoming Student Success and Basic Skills program (commonly referred to as BSI 2.0), which incorporates a new allocation formula and revised (less restrictive) expenditure guidelines.
