To increase the diversity and retention levels of underrepresented faculty and staff, Cerritos College implemented the Partnering for Diversity program. Specifically, the program sought to: increase participation of underrepresented employees in positions of leadership; increase the diverse applicant pool for tenure track position by mentoring underrepresented graduate students; develop campus policies and procedures based on outcomes achieved; evaluate program activities for effectiveness; and disseminate the results of the project. The program consisted of two tracks: Track 1 was designed to increase retention by creating career paths and Track 2 to recruit graduate teaching students at local universities to teach at Cerritos under the mentorship of faculty. Specific steps taken to achieve program objectives included the following: (1) the development of 1-day leadership skills workshops and a project to allow participants to observe managers at work; (2) 10 university teaching students have worked with Cerritos teachers to date, of whom 4 have received part-time positions; and (3) the workshops have been evaluated by participants, while the university teaching students were evaluated by students and their mentors. In addition, policy and procedure statements are currently being developed and dissemination is expected to take place via the college's gopher site, a host for the California State-Wide Information Server.
