The defining story of a college in service to community has yet to be told.



Friends of MiraCosta College: Since 1934, MiraCosta College has continued to provide quality higher education that prepares students for the demands of an ever-changing economy and world. There has been no better example of this than during the 2019- 2020 academic year. Faculty, classified professionals, administrators, the Board of Trustees, and our dedicated community have come together during this unprecedented pandemic to rise up and meet this moment for our students. During the latter half of this year, through the transition of teaching and learning to an online modality, the District has deployed robust student support programs and academic services, in addition to providing students with food, technology, and gift cards to assist in the removal of any barriers that prevent them from pursuing their education. While focusing on the moment, the District has not faltered in maintaining our dedication to the bigger picture. MiraCosta College is committed to creating a racially just campus climate. Individuals and their diverse cultures and identities are welcomed, nurtured, and validated. MiraCosta will continue to serve all constituents with values rooted in equity, diversity, inclusion, and community. MiraCosta is proud to share that after a three-year journey reflecting on our work to effectively and inclusively serve our historically marginalized populations, we have launched a new mission, vision, values, and commitment. Redefining how colleges serve the community, MiraCosta connects people to purpose; education to achievement; learning to life. OUR MISSION MiraCosta College fosters the academic and holistic success of its diverse learners within a caring and equitable environment to strengthen the educational, economic, cultural, and social wellbeing of the communities it serves. MiraCosta College achieves this mission through innovative teaching, learning, and support services, and by offering degree, certificate, career education, adult education, transfer, and life-long learning opportunities. As you read through this report, the chapters are grounded in the support of each of the District’s Institutional Goals. The actions of the MiraCosta community are thoughtful and intentional as we live our mission. Thank you for being a part of the MiraCosta Vision in the partnership to transform lives and communities through learning. This changes everything. Sunita V. Cooke, Ph.D. Superintendent/President MiraCosta College

EQUITABLE ACCESS MiraCosta College will provide equitable access, enhance student success, and close equity gaps by deploying strategies that meet students where they are; create community; and dismantle systems of inequity.

Like the 1888 established iconic Oceanside Pier, the City of Oceanside is home to the original location of MiraCosta College, once known as Oceanside- Carlsbad Junior College. It is the largest city in MiraCosta’s service district boundaries.

meeting the moment MiraCosta College turned the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic into opportunities to better serve students by expanding and improving the delivery of online education and offering additional training to faculty and classified professionals. All of these changes were implemented with meticulous attention to detail and robust best practices. 8 Equitable Access Annual Report 2019-2020

JUST IN TIME The MiraCosta College Foundation launched a three- week fundraising campaign to underwrite student emergency response kits. Each kit provided qualified students with a $500 credit toward a customized combination of food, shelter, and access to online learning tools, including computers/hotspots when called for, based upon each student’s specific need. REFURBISHED & UPGRADED Dozens of MiraCosta College students received Hewlett Packard desktop computers refurbished and upgraded by members of the Computer Studies and Information Technology Department (CSIT) student club, Club IT, after being discarded by a local business that closed its doors.

SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY When the community needed support, MiraCosta College immediately stepped up. MiraCosta College manufactured thousands of face masks, hundreds of face shields, and scores of decontamination boxes as part of a statewide effort to ramp up production of personal protective equipment (PPEs) in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. The face masks and face shields were provided to Rady Children’s Hospital for distribution and the decontamination boxes sent to hospitals and medical centers throughout the region.

IMPACT OF GIVING From the generosity of a $50,000 grant from the Genentech Foundation, college students financially struggling from the fallout caused by the COVID-19 pandemic received immediate economic support. “The Genentech Foundation is proud to partner with MiraCosta College, which is among the leading workforce training providers in the region and shares our commitment to equity in education,” said Kristin Campbell Reed, Executive Director, Genentech Foundation. “Even before the coronavirus pandemic led to widespread job loss and economic uncertainty, a large population of community college students at MiraCosta and throughout California were already struggling financially. We are honored to help make a difference in these students’ lives.” SPARTANS ON THE FRONTLINE Many MiraCosta College nursing graduates are working in the trenches during the COVID-19 pandemic. From hospital emergency rooms, intensive care units (ICUs), labor and delivery, and more. Spartans are working hard to save lives. Transforming Lives 11

exceptional access changes everything While change is inevitable, MiraCosta is steadfast in its commitment to equitable access. Through the creation of programs and services that support our students, MiraCosta provides a supportive environment where all students can feel a sense of belonging. 12 Equitable Access Annual Report 2019-2020

PROMISES KEPT MiraCosta College is committed to providing open access to all students wanting to earn a certificate or degree. The MiraCosta College Promise offers two years of free college to all first-time college students who register in 12+ units each semester. MiraCosta A PLACE TO START Eight local community colleges have been selected to participate in a pilot program offering free immigration-related legal services through a statewide project involving the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, the Foundation for California Community Colleges, and the California Department of Social Services. The program includes confidential consultations addressing immigration status, help applying for various benefits, workshops covering immigration-related topics, spreading the word about available community resources, and other outreach events.

A PASSION TO UPLIFT THE COMMUNITY MiraCosta College hosted and coordinated the second annual Black Nerds Expo; a space for people to explore and celebrate black representation in art, comics, literature, video games, science, technology, engineering, and math alongside other like-minded individuals. With over 300 attendees, 30 exhibitors, and 10 speakers, the event welcomed students, staff, and the community. Equitable Access



MEET A BLACK NERD A few years ago, Jeridel “Jd” Banks came across a term online that seemed fitting: “blerd,” a combination of the words “black” and “nerd.” She’d always considered herself a nerd, with a love of books, comics, video games, anime, and computers. She and her brothers grew up watching shows like “Ronin Warriors” and “Batman,” playing video games like “Street Fighter,” and fighting over Marvel’s “X-Men” trading cards. As an avid comic convention attendee, she was no stranger to Comic-Con International: San Diego, WonderCon, and Comiket (Comic Market) in Japan. Combining two of her passions, in February 2019, as a way to diversify Black History Month programming at the college, showcase local black talent and businesses, and connect black nerds in a positive way, the Black Nerds Expo was created. 16 Equitable Access Annual Report 2019-2020

Social Work & Human Services MiraCosta College made history this fall as the only community college in California to offer a new, completely online program in social work that will prepare students for a career with a growing number of job opportunities. 22 Community Collaboration Annual Report 2019-2020

The program provides the knowledge and skills required for an entry- 23 level position as a social worker and guides them to the resources needed to reach their goals. According to the state Employment Development Department, the number of openings for social workers in San Diego County is expected to grow by 400 annually in the coming years; nationally, employment of social workers is expected to grow a total of 11 percent from 2018 to 2028. “This new program will allow MiraCosta College to produce skilled candidates trained to meet the Social Worker I qualification for the County of San Diego, fulfilling a regional workforce need and acting as a launching point for completion of bachelors and graduate degrees,” wrote John Van Cleef, Executive Director of Encinitas-based Community Resource Center. Furthermore, the program is committed to keeping costs low with the implementation of various zero-cost textbooks and open educational resources, so students will pay a fraction of what they are now paying for textbooks and class materials.

learning to life As a vital component in a student’s higher educational journey, work-based learning and internships are embedded into a student’s journey at MiraCosta College. Being able to apply what’s learned in the classroom strengthens the understanding of the material. 24 Community Collaboration Annual Report 2019-2020

CUTTING-EDGE PROGRAM TO LAUNCH CAREERS A Collaboration between Northrop Grumman & MiraCosta Working with an industry leader in San Diego is a goal for many students. For two MiraCostans, Matthew Sheehan and Jeannell Balilo, this opportunity became a reality. Northrop Grumman, a global aerospace and defense technology company, and MiraCosta launched a groundbreaking work-based learning program in fall 2019. In addition to establishing a sustainable talent pipeline, the program provides students enrolled in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) degrees with paid learning opportunities and a pathway to qualification for careers in the aerospace and defense industries. MATTHEW SHEEHAN Matthew Sheehan, born and raised in Gloucester, Virginia, enlisted in the Marine Corps while a senior in high school and went to boot camp shortly after graduating in 2011. Assigned to an aviation operations team at Camp Pendleton, Sheehan helped manage the flow of aircraft training before leaving the service in 2018. He enrolled at MiraCosta College that fall. Majoring in computer science, Sheehan applies his software skills to automating testing procedures with a team assigned to high-altitude, autonomous aircraft. “I’m getting relevant experience and a foot in the door, and the fact that I will be able to put the Northrop Grumman name on my resume is pretty valuable in and of itself,” Sheehan said. “That Northrop Grumman is a defense contractor makes it even more valuable for this line of work.” JEANNELLE BALILO The daughter of Filipino immigrants, Jeannelle Balilo enlisted in the Navy after graduating from high school in the San Francisco Bay Area city of San Bruno. Based mostly in San Diego during her six years of service and attached to the amphibious assault ship USS America and the amphibious transport ship USS Somerset, Balilo worked as a fire control specialist and left the Navy as a fire controlman second class. She moved to Oceanside a short time after concluding her military service, enrolled at MiraCosta College in spring 2019, and has accumulated at 4.0 GPA, while majoring in computer engineering. In the internship, Balilo is learning how to write computer programs and test state-of-the-art software for an unmanned helicopter being developed by the defense contractor.

BRINGING PEOPLE FACE TO FACE Annual Report 2019-2020 WITH THEIR FUTURE MiraCosta College students will see an expanded offering of paid, off-campus internship opportunities through a new Federal Work Study (FWS) experiment. MiraCosta has partnerships with a large number of area businesses that can offer critical work experience for students, but current rules limit opportunities in formal work-study programs to part-time employment and most current internships are unpaid. Under the FSW experiment, MiraCosta College students will enroll in paid internships—funded through the FWS program—as long as the job is related to their academic program. 26 Community Collaboration

FLYING HIGH The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced 26 schools nationally have been chosen, so far, to participate in the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Collegiate Training Initiative (UAS-CTI). The FAA has selected MiraCosta College’s Technology Career Institute (TCI) as part of the Unmanned Systems 500-hour program. Transforming Lives 27

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE; CULTURALLY COMPETENT MiraCosta College will foster academic excellence by strategically developing a culturally competent, adaptive, innovative, and relevant teaching and learning environment; co-curricular activities that bridge classroom learning and real world experience; and intentional professional development for the college community that is responsive to a changing world.

The City of Encinitas is not only home to some of the greatest surfing in the world, but also home to MiraCosta’s San Elijo Campus located in Cardiff, one of several communities within Encinitas.

Making dreams come true The Achieving the Dream Network designated MiraCosta College as a 2019 Leader College. Leader College status is a national designation awarded to Achieving the Dream institutions that have shown intentional and significant progress in improving the success of all community college students. MiraCosta College is the first college in the San Diego region to receive this designation. “MiraCosta College’s Pell students [those with financial need] improved in completion of both math and English college-level courses consistently over the past four years. We are pleased to see your institution’s efforts to become more data focused, improve systems and processes for students, and adopt a framework for guided pathways,” explains Karen A. Stout, president and CEO of Achieving the Dream, in a letter to Superintendent/President Cooke announcing the accomplishment. 30 Academic Excellence; Culturally Competent Annual Report 2019-2020

MONEY WELL SPENT MiraCosta Community College District maintains the highest credit ratings from both Moody’s Investors Services (Moody’s) and Standard & Poor’s Global (S&P). Moody’s and S&P assigned MiraCosta College AAA ratings for a second time—the same ratings earned in 2017. Both agencies recognized the District’s healthy financial position, sustainable tax base of North County San Diego, leadership, and solid student enrollment. According to the Moody’s report, the MiraCosta College assigned rating is “AAA reflecting the District’s robust financial position, with strong fund balances and liquidity.” The report also reflects “the District’s financial flexibility, strong and prudent management, low debt levels and manageable pension liability.” The high credit ratings allow MiraCosta College to obtain funds at a lower cost, while ensuring the highest level of fiscal prudence of tax-payer dollars. 40 Transparency; Fiscal Stewardship Annual Report 2019-2020

FACILITATING TRANSPARENCY MiraCosta College has launched a new online dashboard that allows the public to access real- time information on the progress and status of the Capital Improvement Program, which includes Measure MM, the $55 million general obligation bond approved by voters in 2016. The Capital Improvement Program Dashboard is accessible through the college website, miracosta.edu/ MeasureMM, and is designed for the user’s specific experiences and needs. The dashboard is equipped with filters to provide macro or micro information about financial performance, project schedule performance, and build-out details on each project covered by the Capital Improvement Program budget. LONG-TERM PLANNING MiraCosta College has a strong history of collaborative planning and decision making. The development of the 2020/2026 long-term planning framework demonstrates not only that collaborative nature, but the importance the College places on the review of quantitative and qualitative data, the adoption of evidence-based practices, and an evaluation of those practices with an eye toward continuous improvement. This long- term planning framework takes the place of the College’s Comprehensive Master Plan that expires in 2020 and outlines the basic relationship between the foundational tenets of the College—mission, vision, values and commitment—and the goals and strategies that are developed to make those foundational principles a reality over the next six years.
