Using Effective Planning to Increase Minority Success Rates

First, it was access.

Community colleges and other institutions focused on how to do a better job of bringing minority students into the fold.

Now, it’s success.

With minority enrollments improving, colleges are looking beyond admissions issues, to retention – particularly, to promoting success among enrolled minority students.

But there’s a hitch: While every institution has a desire to see improvement, many of them don’t have a plan to get there.

And without solid planning, as the saying goes, a goal is just a wish.

If you’re looking for solid, practical advice to help you build a program devoted to minority success, we will show you the way, led by Bryan McClenney, Ph.D., project director and senior lecturer on the faculty of the University of Texas at Austin.


In this 90-minute presentation, McClenney shares methods and core principles for creating a plan:

  • Establishing minority student success as an institutional priority
  • Creating workable formats for planning and annual updates
  • Involving constituent groups in planning and budgeting
  • Fostering a culture of evidence and inquiry
  • Identifying critical issues through environmental scanning and internal assessment
  • Using data effectively in your planning
  • Allocating resources consistent with your strategic thinking and operational planning
  • Assessing outcomes and amending processes and practices
