De Anza Receives Hewlett Leaders in Student Success Award for Basic Skills Programs

De Anza was one of four California Community Colleges (out of 109) recognized by the Hewlett Leaders in Student Success Program for demonstrating promising and innovative approaches to student success in basic skills education. Santa Barbara City College, Southwestern College (Chula Vista) and Columbia College (Sonora) were also honored.

Basic skills education is designed to help underprepared students master the skills required for success in transfer-level courses. Every year roughly half a million students arrive at a California community college with the goal of transferring to a four-year college. But at least 70 percent are not prepared.

Experts from across the country contributed to the selection of the 2008 Hewlett Leaders. Data analyses identified strong programs, and visiting teams made site visits to interview faculty and administrators.

Hewlett Leaders in Student Success is administered by the Research and Planning Group of the California Community Colleges and funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
