David C. Butty received the following note from

Carina Caldwell, Interim Executive Director,

Community Colleges for International Development

(CCID):

“I hope you are doing well. I wanted to touch base

with you regarding a couple of items. First, I wanted

to thank you so much for your fantastic submissions

for our Quarterly Newsletter, you always have great

stories to share and I really enjoy learning about

what you are doing up at WCCCD. It is clear that

you have done a fantastic job of creating

international opportunities for students and faculty

at your school and I believe you represent a vital

sector of CCID membership that often does not

have a seat at the table regarding the mission,

vision and direction of CCID.

Secondly, I just had a great conversation with our

contacts at the British Council and they are looking

to develop a sponsored 2019 Spring Break trip to

the UK for U.S. Community College students.”

Commendation and Kudos toDavid C. Butty, Dean of the

Study Abroad Program

Division of Institutional Effectiveness

During Fall 2017, IE in conjunction with academic leaders across the District, administered the

Student Satisfaction Inventory (SSI) Survey. WCCCD students identified items of importance to

them. Below you will find some sample data from the results on elements regarding academic

advising:

The Division of Institutional Effectiveness

(IE) reviews national research trends to

assist divisions, programs, and the District

with planning initiatives. According to the

Gallup 2017 College Student Survey

Report, “students receive helpful advice

about courses and programs from

academic advisers, but less so about

careers and post-graduation plans.” In the

figure to the right you will find sample data

points from the Gallup article regarding

academic advising.

Tech Tip of the Week

Spear phishing is a special type of fraud, usually

conducted through email, which appears as

though it comes from a legitimate source and

requests personal or confidential information

from you, or attempts to trick you into installing

malicious software by clicking on a link or

opening an attachment. Always be suspicious of

emails, even if they appear to come from a

trusted source. When in doubt, call the sender

and ask if they sent the email.
