Volume 7, Issue 7 • February 2013

To the Triton College Community:

Triton College was honored to host a number of our arealeaders at our annual Legislative Breakfast on Monday,Jan. 28. We were pleased to welcome U.S. CongressmanDanny Davis; Illinois State Senators Don Harmon, KimberlyLightford, and John Mulroe; Illinois State RepresentativesCamille Lilly, Chris Welch, Michael McAuliffe, KathleenWillis and Luis Arroyo; and Cook County Recorder of DeedsKaren Yarbrough for a discussion on Triton’s role in our

communities and, specifically, how Triton can do more to serve the needs of at-risk studentsin the district. We presented to our guests an outline of an initiative we are developing toaddress this ever-growing issue. While our administration has yet to finalize the conceptinto a plan of action, we look forward to having this accomplished prior to the end of thecalendar year. We will then invite our feeder high school officials to the Triton campus topresent our plan to them and, most importantly, receive their feedback on our idea. We arehopeful that, working together, we can implement a plan that will have a significant posi-tive impact throughout the Triton College district.

In furtherance of our efforts to make Triton College work for our communities, we regu-larly make our facilities available to our district educational partners at both the highschool and elementary school levels at a reduced or no cost. In the recent past, we haveprovided opportunities for our partners at Elmwood Park High School, Leyden High School,Oak Park and River Forest High School, Proviso East High School, Proviso West High School,Ridgewood High School, Elementary School District 89 (serving Melrose Park, Maywoodand Broadview), and Elementary School District 81 (serving Schiller Park and Franklin Park).Inside on Page 2, you will find a heartwarming item featuring some thank you notes we received from District 81 students after we approved the use of Triton’s swimming pool fortheir swim team practices. I am confident these notes will make you smile, as they did for me.

I hope you enjoy this issue of Page One, and I look forward to hearing how Triton Collegecan serve you. Please feel free to contact me through the Triton College Office of the Presi-dent at (708) 456-0300, Ext. 3201 or e-mail me at mstephens@triton.edu.

Connecting students to their homeworkto successfully complete their classes

with the idea of Homework Connection.Homework Connection gives studentsthe opportunity to study with the classinstructor in attendance for help.

“It was a way to connect students withtheir homework, on-campus resources,other students studying the same sub-ject and myself,” she said. “Our studentswork hard and have busy lives outsideof the classroom that it’s important tomake the resources they need to suc-ceed accessible to them.”

The sessions are held in a relaxed, casualatmosphere to encourage brainstorm-ing and dialogue. “We’ve received a re-ally good response from students,”Gilbert said, as well as from other in-structors who’ve begun something simi-lar with their classes. “I have studentswho’ve said they might have droppedout of the class without these sessions toput them on the right path. I’m alwayslooking for ways to motivate Triton’sstudents.”

Sometimes by simply providing studentswith the resources they need is vital inhelping them achieve their goals. Ac-counting faculty member Julie Gilbertdid exactly that. She saw a need to pro-vide her students with additional home-work assistance, beyond what they weregetting from the classroom, and came up

Letter fromOur PresidentDear Community Members:I hope you are enjoying the year so far. Mid-term isapproaching and spring is right around the corner.As usual, these are busy times at Triton College andI’m happy to share with you progress on some col-lege initiatives. To ensure that we’re meeting the needs of our students and community, the college is engaged in a Strategic Planning process that included a surveyout to many constituents – maybe you were one ofthem! If so, thank you for helping us build our plansfor the future. Results of that survey are now beingcompiled and later this spring we’ll be inviting com-munity members to participate in more in-depthfocus groups. One topic important to this community and one that is on everyone’s minds these days is safety. Triton College is committed to providing a safe campus environment. While we can’t control every-thing, we have taken steps to educate the campuscommunity on proactive measures to mitigate theprobability of a crisis. Based on campus crime statis-tics, Triton was recently named the fourth safestcampus in Illinois by StateUniversity.com, one of theinternet’s leading websites for college information. Near and dear to my heart is the topic of studentsuccess. The national education agenda set by U.S.President Obama for college completion charges colleges and universities with doubling graduates by 2020. For Triton, that means approximately 5 percent more each year. I am glad to share withyou that since 2010, Triton has surpassed each goalset by the federal administration! These are just some of the many activities the col-lege is involved in. I’ll keep you up to date on theseand other initiatives in the coming months.Please do not hesitate to contact my office at presi-dent@triton.edu if you have a question, suggestionor concern.

Sincerely,

Dr. Patricia Granados,President, Triton College

Program Spotlight

It’s simple math! Take a student who under-stands how to solve algebraic equations,read and compile data and even apply thePythagorean Theorem, and add to that theopportunity to pursue an associate’s degreein mathematics in a quality program. Whatdoes that equal? Well, according to the U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics, it can lead to apromising career with a sizable salary in agrowing market.Careers for math majors are on the rise – forsuch positions as engineer, economist, finan-cial analyst, mathematician, statistician andmath teachers – with projected job growthexpected anywhere from 14 to 27 percentthrough 2020. Triton College offers a stellar

Triton’s Mathematics Department has the formula for careersuccess

math program that prepares students withthe knowledge and skills needed to pursuethese competitive jobs with success. The Triton College Mathematics Depart-ment does this by continually updating itsprograms to meet the needs of its studentsand the changing economy, as it aims toput students on track toward earning theirassociate’s degree in math and/or succeed-ing in various other areas of study that re-quire the understanding of mathapplications.Cynthia Harris, chair of the MathematicsDepartment, said, “Students in Triton’s dis-trict are realizing that taking their mathe-matics prerequisites at Triton is aneconomical alternative to taking them at afour-year university. As a result, math en-rollment is up 5 percent at Triton.” Understanding the subject of math provesto be a constant struggle for some studentsfrom elementary- to college-aged. In 2012,Triton College recorded 70 percent of stu-dents who took the college’s mandatoryplacement test were referred to develop-

mental math courses, as compared to 21and 33 percent referred to reading andwriting developmental courses, respectively.In an effort to improve this percentage, Triton College’s Mathematics Department is working with area high schools to in-crease dual credit offerings in selected mathcourses to better prepare them for college-level math, including adding a new dualcredit course, MAT 102, to be offered in thefall of 2013. Also, a grant team from thedepartment is rewriting the developmentaleducation curriculum to streamline it andoffer more alternatives for students whilestill teaching them real-world applications.The Mathematics Department is also work-ing on identifying the features necessaryfor ideal math classrooms to provide stu-dents with the optimal learning environ-ment.To learn more about Triton’s MathematicsDepartment, contact Cynthia Harris at (708) 456-0300, Ext. 3345 or e-mailcharri32@triton.edu or visitwww.triton.edu/math.
