Publish Date: Sept. 11, 2024

Student Services members Belinda Navarette, Soutsakhone Xayaphanthong, and Willie Blackmon have been selected to present at the CCEMC Dual Enrollment Conference from September 11 to 13 in Burlingame, CA.

Their presentation, titled "Empathy, Equity & Supportive Measures: Navigating Dual Enrollment from an Equity Lens," will focus on Crafton Hills College's efforts to expand Dual Enrollment with an emphasis on equity.

The college has examined how policies, practices, and decision-making impact historically marginalized students. The team has implemented supportive measures to ensure academic success in traditionally challenging courses and employed intrusive counseling practices to address underlying student issues, aiming to bridge equity gaps. This presentation will allow the Crafton team to share their strategies for developing empathy, addressing equity issues, and establishing supportive measures as the foundation of a thriving dual enrollment program.
