Annual Report to the Community 2006-2007

The Vision of the South Orange
County Community College District is to create
an environment of excellence that best serves the
students and community.
The Mission of the South Orange County
Community College District is to facilitate diverse opportunities
for learning, cultural enrichment and social experiences to foster
student success and contribute to our dynamic community.
F
orty years ago on Valentine’s Day, February 14, voters approved by
more than a two-to-one margin the formation of the South Orange
County Community College District. This year is an exciting time as
we celebrate our service to the community since 1967.
Saddleback College in Mission Viejo began offering classes in 1968. A
satellite campus was established in 1979, which is now known as Irvine Valley
College. Our third and newest campus, the Advanced Technology & Education
Park (ATEP), will begin offering classes in Tustin in the Fall of 2007.
All three campuses are thriving – with numerous building construction
and renovation projects underway. Distance education classes have
grown over the past five years at an unprecedented rate: over 200% at
Saddleback College and more than 143% at Irvine Valley College.
While it is generally recognized that community colleges are costeffective and efficient, a recently published study shows that every
dollar of state and local taxes invested in our district brings a return of
14.3 percent to state and local governments. Students who attend
our colleges have higher earnings, pay more in taxes and use fewer
social services than students with just a high school diploma. In
recognition of our contributions, our district received the Orange
County Business Council 2006 Workforce Development Award.
Our first 40 years have been filled with great student
accomplishments and successes. We give our profound thanks
to the taxpayers for their continuing faith in our mission to
provide the community with educational opportunities. Our
deepest appreciation goes to all who have come before us, as
well as to the Board of Trustees who are entrusted
with shepherding our District’s resources over the
coming decades.

The District was founded on Valentine’s Day,
February 14, 1967, by a more than two-to-one
margin of voters. A $9.5 million bond issue in
April, 1968, guaranteed development of the
first campus, Saddleback College.

opened in Irvine. In 1985, it became an
independent college, and was officially named
Irvine Valley College.
In 2007, the Advanced Technology &
Education Park will begin offering classes to

Achievements in Academics
ore than 30 college and
community members
participate in a new program
matching experienced, adult mentors with
students who are in the Extended Opportunity
Programs and Services (EOPS).
ut of 109 California Community Colleges, Saddleback College ranked
second in the number of students transferred annually to UC Irvine and
third to California State University, Fullerton. It also ranks high in annual
transfers to UC Los Angeles.
In an agreement with Indiana University, students with an associate degree
can complete an additional 30 units at Saddleback before obtaining 30 units
through Indiana University Distance Education to earn a bachelor’s degree in
general studies.
Saddleback received the State Chancellor’s Award for Best Practices in
Student Equity in recognition of its efforts to advance student diversity through
numerous multicultural programs.
A leader in nursing and health sciences education, Saddleback College
achieved almost perfect licensing exam pass rates (nearly 100%) in all
programs over the past several years. Gearing up to help meet the national
health care shortages, the College has generated
almost $3 million in grants and partnership
donations to support increased enrollment
and equipment.
The Saddleback College Foundation awarded
approximately $250,000 in student scholarships.
“
In 1968, when Saddleback College
opened its doors, 1,546 students
selected from 100 different course
offerings. In 1975, student enrollment increased 78 percent over the
fall of 1974 to 11,041 students. In
2006, more than 24,000 students
selected from more than 1,000
course offerings each semester!
Saddleback is one of the
only community colleges
in the nation to provide a
“real world” opportunity for
aspiring film makers. For two
years in a row, students have
written scripts, directed and
crewed feature length films.
The films now have a berth at
the Newport Beach Film Festival
and are underwritten by film
industry professionals.
For almost four decades, our renowned
faculty and top-notch facilities have
created a challenging environment for
students who transfer and continue
their baccalaureate degree at a
university, or seek technical training
to update their career skills.
”
Saddleback is the first community college in the nation
to adopt the “Scholar-Baller” program for all of its 19
athletic teams. The program gives recognition and
incentives to student-athletes who excel in the classroom
and continue to progress towards completing their
academic programs.

In 1973, the James B. Utt Memorial Library was

The rapid prototyping program, funded by a National Science Foundation grant, received
national recognition for developing a model of a wounded American soldier’s skull used for
reconstructive surgery. The program also received kudos for their virtual reconstruction
of a .50-caliber rifle used during the 19th Century Lewis and Clark Expedition.
1,030 state-of-the-art computers have been installed throughout Saddleback. The entire
campus is slated to go wireless in 2007.
Achievements in Community Outreach

n on-campus memorial dedicated to veterans is being built – one of the first
such memorials at an Orange County community college.

from the Community College League of California.
D
uring the first quarter of the
first school year in 1968, the
Saddleback College journalism
program began publication of the Lariat. This
independent, student-run newspaper has since
created career pathways for hundreds of
students, including nationally syndicated Drabble
cartoonist Kevin Fagan and Pulitzer Prize-winner Lee McCormack.
The Lariat has garnered a number of state and national awards and,
for the past two years, was a finalist for the prestigious Pacemaker
Award. In competition with community college journalism students
from across the nation, the Lariat was nominated for the award
by the Associated Collegiate Press because of its “commitment
to excellence in journalism.” In 2005, the newspaper received
18 Awards of Excellence from the Journalism Association of
Community Colleges. The Lariat is also a member of the Associated
Collegiate Press Hall of Fame. A team of nearly 30 reporters and
photographers now produce the paper throughout every fall and
spring semester.
Saddleback College welcomed its first students on September 23,
1968 at an interim Mission Viejo site, now the present day site
of Mission Regional Medical Center. In 1970, the new 200 acre
permanent site was dedicated at 28000 Marguerite Parkway.

” O
nce a bustling military base, the former Marine Corps Air Station-Tustin is evolving into a
hub of commerce, residential development and an emerging 21st Century campus. ATEP
will focus on collaboration with technology-oriented businesses and other two- and four-year
colleges and universities.
The first phases of construction began using environmentally friendly, architecturally designed,
pre-engineered buildings.
A Request for Proposal was recently issued to solicit partnerships and collaborations from
technology-based businesses and other educational institutions to help build out the remaining
67 acres and develop market-driven educational programs.
ATEP’s Center for Applied Competitive Technologies (CACT) was chosen as a National Science
Foundation Center of Excellence for Optics & Photonics Education, a four-year award.
The initial one-acre campus will open in Fall 2007,
with course offerings in photonics, design modelmaking, rapid prototyping, information security
and languages.
