Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Kingsborough Community College is committed to student success. Student success requires access to high-quality teaching and individualized supports to help students achieve their goals. These goals may include completing an academic program and either transferring to a four-year college or entering the workforce directly, or taking courses needed to update skills or change careers. Just as critical to the overall learning environment are opportunities to participate in meaningful co-curricular activities and to build capabilities for scholarship, fellowship, leadership, and resilience. Student success is dependent upon effective coordination among the administration, faculty, and staff in responding to diverse student needs and addressing barriers that might otherwise hinder student success.

The Kingsborough Community College Foundation's goal is to support student success by raising funds to underwrite scholarships and other financial assistance ( help with transportation, childcare, food insecurity, and class supplies). Foundation board members also provide linkages to local businesses for internships and other career opportunities.

  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
