and agency sites, while on-campus and web-based skills development, professional development,
and lifelong learning programs are offered throughout the region. A unique partnership with
MCC’s one-stop Career Place gives students and community residents ready access to extensive
career counseling, placement, and training in an off-site facility created to serve regional
economic development needs.
Active Civic Engagement•
Through partnerships with schools, businesses, the arts community, and service agencies,
Middlesex participates actively in the day-to-day life and ongoing development of its local
communities. Service Learning reinforces institutional and personal citizenship, involving students
in authentic learning and vital community service, while international teaching and learning
opportunities support partnerships abroad and globalization of Middlesex’s curriculum.
Extended Learning Opportunities•
Programs and services for students and community members of all ages, interests and abilities
complement other college offerings, extending MCC’s reach to diverse populations. Programs
range from adult literacy and English-as-a-Second-Language instruction at college and precollege levels to Honors and post-graduate opportunities. Community residents can broaden
specific skills and interests in a collegiate environment through an array of focused summer camps,
specialized programming for youth and senior citizens, short-term courses and seminars, and
online learning opportunities.

2011-14 Strategic Plan:
You’re Voice, Your Experience, Our Success
The Planning Process
Acutely aware that forward thinking and positive change make an institution stronger, Middlesex Community
College began looking to the future by launching a yearlong, broad-based campaign to create its 2011-2014
Strategic Plan. Titled Your Voice, Your Experience, Our Success, this Strategic Plan was formulated with the
help of a Strategic Planning Committee, comprised of faculty and staff. The college elected to use the
Appreciative Inquiry (AI) process, an ongoing, continuous study of what gives life to an organization. By
employing the basic premise of AI --- which is, “whatever we focus our attention on, we will create more of” --the Strategic Planning Committee set out to identify and build on MCC’s existing strengths.
Throughout the fall, more than 350 students, staff, faculty and external partners attended a series of Strategic
Planning Summits to talk about the five key priority areas of the college: Student Success, Assessment,
Workforce Development, Diversity in the Workplace, and Fiscal Stability. The Strategic Planning Committee
used the information collected at these summits to create a draft strategic plan, reviewed the draft plan with
more than 200 members of the college community through a series of Strategic Planning Comment Sessions,
and incorporated the feedback to refine the plan.
MCC’s Strategic Plan 2011-2014 is the result of this broad-based input and information, and reflects the voices
of the many people who participated in the Strategic Planning process. It’s a plan that will enable Middlesex to
continue to serve our rich and vibrant community, as well as to meet the new and exciting challenges of the
future. The plan includes a set of Guiding Principles, Values, Strategic Directions and a set of Accountability
Measures
Guiding Principles

Invest time, effort, and resources
•
Champion the power of diversity
•
Collaborate about substantive matters and strategic directions

You’re Voice, Your Experience, Our Success
Strategic Directions
We will improve access and advance student success by strengthening evidence-based
practices and resource allocation. To enhance student access we will expand proven practice and
explore new initiatives in vertical teaming, dual enrollment, college readiness, and course and program delivery
models. To advance student success, we will implement high impact practices that support core student
success skills and close achievement gaps. Institutional student learning outcomes for our graduates will be
clear, transparent, and well-integrated throughout the students’ college experience. Ongoing, college-wide
assessment will foster continuous improvement and drive resource allocation.
We will transform learning by integrating academic, workplace, and global experiences to
meet personal, professional, and community needs. Global perspectives, real-world experiences, and
professional skills will enrich our academic programs and be authentically assessed. We will provide a relevant
and transformative academic experience through the expansion of opportunities for career planning,
experiential learning, cooperative education, internships, externships, undergraduate research, service learning,
and international education. In response to industry and community needs, we will design programs in emerging
fields that include short-term and accelerated training models and non-credit articulation.
We will drive innovation, enrich community and broaden the learning experience for all by
fulfilling our shared responsibility for diversity through expanded activities that promote a broader
understanding and appreciation for diversity and recognize the importance of globalization. We will improve
policies and practices to recruit, support and retain a more diverse student body and workforce. Together,
students, faculty, and staff will create a working and learning environment that values diversity in all its forms as
the essential element inspiring improvement and innovation. We will focus on research, pedagogies, and
initiatives that assist in identifying and closing achievement gaps for diverse student populations and effectively
support student success for all.
We will empower all members of the college community to be educators, mentors, advocates,
entrepreneurs, and lifelong learners through enhanced professional development, curriculum, and cocurricular activities. We will expand engagement opportunities for part-time faculty and support staff; increase
the use of mentoring, advocacy and peer support models; and continue to build a college environment that
encourages on-going reflection, wellness, improvement, and entrepreneurship. To enhance student
responsibility, self-advocacy, and leadership, we will increase student representation on college-wide
committees and create new roles for students as peer mentors, advisors, tutors and leaders.
We will foster greater college engagement through improved communication, personal
connections, and collaborative partnerships by creating new opportunities for students, faculty, and
staff to interact, learn, and work together to build community, to enhance student learning outcomes and to
achieve strategic college priorities. We will strengthen college-wide communication and information

dissemination through the effective use of next-generation technology tools, the establishment of innovation and
interest groups and the inclusion of student voice in all we do.
We will build partnerships that stimulate innovation and address the educational, social, economic, and
workforce development needs of our communities. We value our role as a convener for active partnerships
aimed at creating innovative solutions to significant community challenges. By maximizing relationships with our
workforce investment and advisory boards, employers, career centers, and alumni, we will be positioned to best
meet emerging education and training needs. Internal college teams will reach out to community partners to
highlight and creatively address local and regional issues. We will proactively demonstrate and market the value
of our resources and programs, attaining a new level of community awareness, responsiveness, and impact.

Title III Strengthening Institutions Grant
Strategies for Success:
A Commitment to Increasing Student Achievement,
Persistence, Retention and Engagement
In October 2008, Middlesex Community College was awarded a Title III Strengthening Institutions
Grant - Strategies for Success: Increasing Achievement, Persistence, Retention and
Engagement. The project focuses on Reformed Curriculum and Comprehensive Advising.
Reformed Curriculum involves the design of developmental and college-level Gateway courses
and learning communities embedded with Core Student Success Skills related to critical thinking,
communication, collaboration, organization, and self-assessment. Comprehensive Advising
involves the design of integrated advising services to include identification of academic and
career goals, creation of realistic Educational Plans, and continuous tracking and intervention
with an emphasis on the Core Student Success Skills.
The Title III grant provides nearly two million dollars over five years to support project initiatives,
including the purchase of advising software programs (Degree Works, Acalog, and Early Alert);
faculty and staff professional development and stipends for course redesign and piloting; and the
hiring of key staff. Funding will support a Coordinator of Academic Advising, two 30 hour per
week advisors, a full-time Learning Engagement Specialist, and a full-time Pedagogical
Instructional Designer.
Significant accomplishments to date include the following:
• Faculty redesigned and created Resource Guides for thirty-four courses. The guides
include many lesson plans that embed the Core Student Success Skills identified in the
grant and are given to all new faculty teaching these courses.
•
The Acalog on-line Academic Catalog has been fully implemented and is accessible from
the college homepage.
•
The SARS ALRT system was implemented and piloted. Developmental advisors
successfully connected with 80% of the students issued an academic alert by an MCC
faculty member.
•
Degree Works, an on-line degree auditing and educational planning tool, has been
successfully implemented and pilot tested. All professional and faculty advisors have
completed DegreeWorks training and are now using it in their advising meetings.
DegreeWorks is now fully functional for all degree and certificate programs. An advising
syllabus has been designed and adopted that outlines the student and advisor
responsibilities and advising resources.
•
Customized advising materials that emphasize career and transfer options have been
developed for all Business and Liberal Studies and Liberal Arts and Sciences programs.
•
A successful three-day Summer Institute was offered in 2010 and 2011 to orient faculty
and staff working on curriculum and advising design teams to the objectives and goals of
the grant. Participants were also provided training in the new advising resources and the
concept of developmental advising. Faculty who teach Explorations courses were also
given the opportunity to learn more about ways that they can use the Resource Guides
and Advising tools in their classes.

Association of American Colleges and Universities
Roadmap Project Middlesex Community College was chosen by the Association of American Colleges and
Universities in 2010 to join a select group of twelve community colleges as part of the Roadmap
Project. These twelve colleges are expected to become national models in the support
of community college student success. Collectively, these leadership institutions are working to
take what are often isolated and independent student success efforts and create an integrated
roadmap to support both student persistence and higher levels of academic achievement.
The following are the partner community colleges in the AAC&U Roadmap project.
•
Eugenio María de Hostos Community College (CUNY) (New York, New York)

Prince George's Community College (Largo, Maryland)
•
Queensborough Community College (CUNY) (New York, New York)
•
Salt Lake Community College (Salt Lake City, Utah)
•
Tidewater Community College (Norfolk, Virginia)
Middlesex Community College elected to focus our Roadmap project on extending the work
begun in 2008 with our Title III: Strengthening Institutions Strategies for Success grant by
connecting it to the college’s recent General Education revision work and our ongoing work in the
assessment of Institutional Student Learning Outcomes (ISLOs).
A team of faculty, staff, administration and a (former) MCC student attended an AAC&U Summer
Institute for Roadmap institutions to design a plan to support entering student success through a
linked set of unavoidable curricular and co-curricular activities designed to ensure student
awareness of the college’s institutional student learning outcomes and support networks.

Program Review
In addition to our institutional-level assessment, our programs and departments, both academic and cocurricular, participate in a program review and assessment process. Programs and departments conduct selfstudies every 5-7 years, in conjunction with external accreditation processes and utilizing external consultants
as appropriate. In addition to these cyclical self studies, all academic and most co-curricular programs and
departments engage in annual assessment of their own goals for student learning and achievement. These
findings are used to inform improvement of student learning within the program, and help to ensure that all MCC
graduates have developed the discipline-specific and interdisciplinary knowledge, skills, abilities, and ways of
thinking that will be necessary in their further higher education and careers.
MCC instituted the program review process in 1998, and since then, 53 academic programs, departments and
support areas have completed at least one review, as have 4 Student Affairs programs. In 2006, a student
learning outcome assessment component was added to all academic and many co-curricular programs’ review
process. This assessment component required that programs and departments review and revise as necessary
their program goals for student learning, and then assess those goals, one (or more) per year, to determine the
degree to which students are achieving the goals we have established for their learning. These goals have
always been aligned to appropriate professional standards, and are now in the process of being aligned with
learning goals for the baccalaureate degree from many of our four-year transfer institutions. A final step in the
assessment process is the development and implementation of a plan for improvement, which is reassessed for
impact within a cycle of time. In 2010-11 a program review template was designed for all Enrollment Services
departments. This process will be piloted in the 2011-12 academic year. Copies of program reviews and review
templates are available at http://www.middlesex.mass.edu/programreview/.

RAMP-UP Math
RAMP-UP Math represents a complete redesign of MCC’s developmental math sequence from a
traditionally delivered course-based model to one that is modular, mastery-based, and
technologically-driven. The RAMP-UP initiative (Review, Achieve, Master, and Progress) began
as a pilot in spring 2011 and is continuing its move to full implementation during the 2011-2012
academic year. The program provides technology mediated instruction using My Math Lab. The
approach is based on a nationally recognized model that has demonstrated success in both twoyear and four-year institutions.
RAMP-UP Math utilizes a mastery based approach. The 12 modules that students complete are
equivalent to the former developmental math sequence. This sequence was made up of 3 levels
of developmental mathematics (Fundamentals of Math, Algebra I, and Algebra II). In RAMP-UP
Math, students are required to complete a minimum of 4 modules with a C or better to complete
each of the three levels. Students are required to pass particular modules in order to move
through the various levels of mathematics. Students can complete all 12 modules in one
semester and be ready for a college-level course.
The pilot in spring 2011 included only students who placed into the lowest level, Fundamentals of
Mathematics. There were 12 faculty involved in the pilot plus 10 support staff/tutors and 429
students. For fall 2011, all students testing below Algebra II level, i.e. < 56 on the CPT were
placed in RAMP UP math. We anticipate the participation of approximately 1700 students in the
second phase. The pass rate for the pilot was 57% with 243 students out of 429 passing a
minimum of 4 modules. 64 students withdrew.

The Academy of Health Professions
The Academy of Health Professions (AHP) was established in 2010 with funding from the Commonwealth
Corporation. The AHP provides an innovative post-secondary career pathway for entry-level health careers in:
•
•
•
•
Nursing Assistant
Medical Reception
Medical Secretary
Phlebotomy.
The Academy of Health Professions provides a non-traditional delivery model that allows students to receive

International Studies
Middlesex Community College promotes diversity and global awareness inside and outside the
classroom through teaching and learning, scholarship, and leadership.
An international
perspective is specifically noted in our college’s Strategic Plan as well as infused in the
curriculum through the Multicultural and Global Awareness Intensive Value requirements
imbedded in the General Education Core Curriculum. This requirement applies to every MCC
student’s program of study. More than 170 different Middlesex courses in all disciplines foster an
ability to appreciate and analyze historical or contemporary experiences of diversity in the United
States and the world. These Core Curriculum requirements promote an understanding of the
varied experiences and perspectives that exist within, or across, cultural boundaries -- as well as
an understanding of the nature of social inequality.
The International Student and Multicultural Office promotes the enrollment, retention, and
successful completion of educational programs for international and minority students. The
Center fosters a college climate that embraces and develops cross cultural awareness, personal
growth, and a deeper sense of the benefits of a pluralistic society. And, since Middlesex
Community College is committed to educating students about global issues and broadening
student perspectives of the world community, International Education Fellowships are available
for MCC students to visit a country and study its history and culture. Since 1992, Middlesex has
offered fellowships to China, Russia, Costa Rica, Spain, Ireland, Europe, Brazil, and Belize.
Middlesex Community College was the first regional center in the Asian Studies Development
Program (ASDP) out of the East-West Center, and working in close connection with ASDP for the
past 20 years, over 70 MCC faculty have organized and participated in national conferences,
symposiums, and workshops on Asia, specifically China, Japan, India, Cambodia, and Malaysia.
For it is through such activities that instructors bring new and diverse perspectives into their
scholarship, curriculum development, teaching, and leadership.
Our web site is:
www.middlesex.mass.edu/asdp Past programs of workshops and conferences are available on
the site.
The college is presently part of a nationwide multi-year ASDP Title VI UISFL Chinese Language
and Culture Program grant, Enhancing Undergraduate Chinese Language and Culture Studies:
Integrating Faculty and Curriculum Development. Drawing primarily on the disciplines of
philosophy, religion, art, and literature, the grant provides a basis for each college to design core
courses in Chinese culture as well as develop significant course content in the humanities, social
sciences, and sciences. In conjunction with the grant, the process is underway to approve a
Liberal Arts and Sciences Global Studies Concentration with an Asian Studies Option.
Middlesex has also joined with ASDP as one of 5 national regional centers in a multi-year NEH
proposal Thinking Through Cultural Diversity: Bridging Cultural Differences in Asian Traditions,
where faculty will focus on deepening our China and South East Asia offerings. Bristol and
Quinsigamond Community Colleges have agreed to join Middlesex’s NEH cohort which will
address how Asian cultures and societies have conceived and practically engaged issues of
civility and cultural difference.

commitment to build a smokeless wood burning brick kiln on Aiken Street. This project, which
joins the Fine Arts Pathway and the Fulbright Hayes Cambodian educational continuum, is
centrally important in advancing efforts to keep vibrant and continue the art of Khmer ceramics.
Lowell resident, Yary Livan, is one of only four master ceramists to survive the Pol Pot Genocide,
and one of only two still active. The kiln will enable Yary to pass on his skills to a younger
generation as well as to engage the Lowell Cambodian community.
Through MCC Foundation support, two students were selected to travel to Cambodia as part of
the Habitat for Humanity Khmer Harvest. The students will join Greater Lowell Habitat for
Humanity and volunteers from across the world on the Khmer Harvest Build to build homes and a
sustainable farm.
As a result of a Fulbright Grant to Cambodia, a fund-raising campaign Strings for Cambodia was
developed to support Cambodia’s Royal University of Fine Arts’ dream to launch a National
Symphony Orchestra .The goal of $50,000 will cover the cost of high quality, carbon-fiber
classical string instruments – violins, violas and cellos – to form the core of the symphony’s string
section and to be used for teaching purposes at the university.
Through these and other initiatives, we at Middlesex are strongly committed to the view that
sharing languages, philosophies, histories, literatures, and arts of different peoples is the most
profound basis for building bridges and creating respect and civility among cultures.

Student Leadership and Engagement:
A Commitment to Student Development
Research shows that students who are actively involved in the college community are more
likely to feel connected and have stronger success rates. For this reason, student development
is a priority at Middlesex. Opportunities abound for personal growth including programs and
services focusing on leadership, engagement, community service, and wellness.
Middlesex is home to over 25 clubs and organizations that are student led and fall into one of
five categories: Leader-centered, Recreational, Multicultural, Academic, or General Interest.
Several hundred students participate by planning and implementing programs and thousands
more attend and enjoy them. Some of the most popular activities have included an annual
Battle of the Bands, MCC’s Got Talent, International Passport programs, pizza parties, ice
cream socials, and even a Halloween ghost-hunter!
Recreation events such as overnight ski trips, weekly bowling, and ping pong tournaments offer
a desired social outlet for many students. These types of programs increase the sense of
community feel and create lasting friendships – both of which ultimately help foster student
success. Health and wellness are important components of a well-rounded education and MCC
strives to offer multiple opportunities for hands-on participation.
Athletics, health and wellness are integrated into the co-curriculum in ways that appeal to
everyone. For students looking for traditional athletics, Middlesex offers over 20 intramural
sports, inter-collegiate competition, and club activity such as bowling and martial arts. Fitness
opportunities are free or low-cost and include a fitness center and studio on the Bedford campus
and a unique partnership with the University of Massachusetts at Lowell’s state-of-the art
recreation center. For students searching for an alternative healthy activity, restoration of the
beautiful fit-trail on the Bedford campus was completed in 2009. Additionally, pick-up games
occur regularly on the new MCC foundation supported basketball court and zumba and other
fitness classes are offered regularly during the year.
Each year the College begins and ends the academic year with book-end celebratory events on
alternating campuses. In the fall, the Block Party in Bedford attracts students, faculty, and staff
with its free music, food, events, and prizes. Spring Fling in Lowell is the same on the last day of
classes. Over 1000 students, faculty, and staff enjoy these traditions and feel great pride in the
college community.
Leadership development occurs through a variety of experiences. Middlesex offers traditional
training programs in an Emerging and Junior level format that is inclusive of retreats, personal
coaching, and interactive presentations. All students are encouraged to enroll in these to
improve skills, identify personal values, and set goals.
In addition to classroom-based trainings and workshops, student involvement in structured
activities offers transformative learning outside the classroom. Twenty students were selected to
participate in the 2011 Alternative Spring Break Program in New Orleans. The intense weeklong experience was life-changing for the participants who joined other colleges volunteering to
help with the devastation still felt from Hurricane Katrina. Simultaneously, the same number of
students worked closer to home through Habitat for Humanity, building a needed home in the
Bedford community.
The student voice is an integral part of College decision making. The Student Union
Government Association is an elected board of 16 officers and unlimited members who
participate on College-wide committees, oversee clubs and organizations, lobby for student

September.
For the 2011-2012 academic year, students can apply for one or more of 15 student leader/peer
mentor positions including Orientation Leader, Fitness Assistant, Peer Counselors and Advisors,
Teaching Assistants, Tutors and more. These students undergo extensive training to play
important roles alongside faculty and staff.
Students who get involved in co-curricular activities have better grades and a more satisfying
college experience. In addition, they build extensive resumes and develop important skills
transferable to the workplace and their daily lives. Student leaders are recognized annually at a
special ceremony that honors their participation and accomplishments.
Close to 2000 students were involved MCC clubs, organizations and leadership

Service Learning Department
Since its inception in 1992, service learning at Middlesex Community College has been a unique
collaboration among students, faculty, staff, and community partners. Service learning, at the
nexus of critical reflective thinking and civic responsibility, is an opportunity for students to meet
identified community needs while practicing academic learning through thoughtful, directed
reflection.
The pedagogy of service learning is multifaceted and links the curriculum that is learned in class,
with practice that is experienced in the field. It also connects the college with community priorities
and students with career exploration. The unique results that emerge through intentional and
effective service learning practices help students meet the Institutional Student Learning
Outcomes for Social Responsibility and Personal and Professional Development.
Traditional service learning placements require students to spend 22 hours a semester (2-3 hours
a week) at their community site over an 8-11 week time period during the semester. Students are
also responsible for reflecting on their service learning work and connecting it to what they learn
in their classes and textbooks. In an effort to increase the variety of service learning experiences
available to students, faculty can also design all class service projects that have any array of
project-based requirements and still meet community needs and include essential reflective
practices.
Service learning at MCC is designed to meet a wide array of identified community needs,
focusing on literacy, health, homelessness, hunger, senior services, and the environment. •

MCC Dual Enrollment Academy
Dual enrollment allows high school students to simultaneously earn college credit and credit
towards high school completion by taking college-level courses. Middlesex Community College
(MCC) has successfully established a Dual Enrollment Academy, which serviced some 310
students from over 30 different high schools and home-schools in FY11. The ultimate goal of our
Dual Enrollment Academy is to increase the college-ready population in Massachusetts by
expanding dual enrollment opportunities to a greater number of students who would otherwise
have limited access or no access to an early college experience. These students completed
coursework in a wide variety of different college-level courses, with the assistance of $29,100 of
state grant monies. Further, MCC offered a reduced tuition rate of $83 per credit hour last year
which allowed a greater number of students to participate in the program, regardless of whether
or not they received any state grant monies.
We have established relationships with many area high schools and provided numerous outreach
activities to promote this program. We work closely with guidance counselors and parents to
ensure that the college courses selected count for credit at their high school graduation. Dual
Enrollment students may select courses that are offered at either MCC campus during the day,
evening, on the weekend or on-line. This allows students more flexibility in terms of scheduling
courses. MCC intends to ease the transition from high school to college, allow students to get a
head start on their college careers, and provide meaningful and challenging academic
experiences to qualified students.
The Commonwealth Dual Enrollment Program encourages the enrollment and participation of
students interested in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) as well first
generation college students. They also place emphasis on courses that would satisfy
requirements for the Mass Transfer Program. Our MCC Dual Enrollment Academy focuses our
attention on all of these areas in helping recruit and enrolls students for our program.
We provide orientation to Dual Enrollment students on an individual basis. They meet with an
academic advisor to assist in the application and registration process. During this orientation,
students receive information regarding college course expectations, withdrawal processes and
implications of grades in these courses, student services available, including all support services.
We convey all of this information to our high schools in the recruitment process and in our
meetings with students and their parents when registering for these courses. Additionally, Dual
Enrollment students are assigned to a specific academic advisor during each semester to assist
with any issues that may arise during the semester.

Vertical Teaming
Vertical Teaming provides a vehicle for articulation and collaboration among Middlesex Community College, the
University of Massachusetts at Lowell (UML), the Lowell High School (LHS) math, chemistry, and science
teachers, and math teachers from the Lowell middle schools. 2010-11 is the eighth year that Gear-Up:
Massachusetts has allocated Professional Development funds to support the Vertical Math Teaming Initiative.
The mission of the initiative is to create a smoother transition for incoming ninth graders at Lowell High School,
to increase the number of students entering higher-level math classes and to ease the transition of Lowell High
School graduates who enroll at Middlesex Community College and the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
Examples of important Vertical Teaming Initiative are outlined below.
1. Combined Math, Chemistry, and Writing Vertical Teams met throughout the school year to explore:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The importance of collaboration between science and math within institutions
Math and science curriculum mapping
The basic assumptions of faculty and teachers
Vocabulary and strategies in math vs. chemistry
Discrepancies in topics, for example: issue of units, and delays in process
Common assessments in math, science, and writing
Topics that need to be covered in more depth, for example: metric system, dimensional analysis,
and factor labels
How to improve faculty understanding of the course content that comes prior/post to their classes.
2. An Accuplacer Prep Course (Math Plus) was designed and implement in 2010-2011 to address the
high number of juniors and seniors testing into developmental courses.
3. Step Up to High School Math, a math elective program for rising ninth graders, was offered for the
seventh time during the summer of 2011.The program consists of three instructional sessions that
parents are encouraged to attend with their child. The curriculum involves a series of math refresher
exercises and activities. 1.25 high school credits are awarded to each student who submits the required
lessons and participates in at least three sessions. 148 students were eligible to participate in the
program in 2010 and 94 of these students earned high school credit.
3. The Vertical Team piloted a new intervention program at the high school level called Mastering MCAS.
This program targeted incoming sophomore students who are slated to take the state mandated
standardized exam the following May. The program concentrates on the five strands covered in all
mathematics courses. The students receive formal instruction on each strand while attending five days
of a six-day program. Students that complete the program and all the required lessons earn 1.25 math
elective credits. 110 Lowell High School Sophomores signed up for the course, and 45 students
received high school credits.

4. The Mathematics Vertical Team members from Lowell High School and Middlesex Community College
offered Fast Track to smooth the transition from high school to Middlesex Community College.
Students who enrolled at MCC were identified and invited to participate in this program where the
students gain experience taking the Accuplacer exam, and are exposed to the Lowell College campus.
Students also received instruction to prepare for taking the college entrance exam, and have the
opportunity to improve their mathematics placement by taking a challenge exam. This exam would
allow the student to start at a course above the one they tested into, if they were successful. Success
was defined as a 75 or better on this challenge exam. In order to take advantage of this opportunity,
students had to attend tutoring sessions to improve their skills. Some students were able to move
ahead; one student, in particular, who had tested into a basic mathematics class, passed the challenge
exam, took her last developmental course during the summer and was able to begin the fall semester in
a college-level, transferable mathematics course.
Partially as a result of the Fast Track Program Middlesex Community College now offers several
placement exam review sessions throughout the year as well as an online program that students can
follow to build up their basic mathematics skills. Statistics show that students who take advantage of
these opportunities are placing into higher-level mathematics courses.
5. Mathematics Vertical Team members from Lowell High School and UMass Lowell have collaborated to
provide the High Steppin’ Program designed to help ease the transition between high school and
university. UML faculty members have given several presentations in high school classes, including
Algebra II and Advanced Placement Calculus. These presentations consist of two parts: a sample
lecture delivered as if the class were a college class, and a discussion of mathematics-related career
paths and corresponding college programs of study. The sample lecture part of the presentation is
designed to give the high school students a taste of what a college class is like, so they are not taken
completely by surprise when they begin their university studies. The university faculty members try to
make several points in this part of the presentation:
• College classes move much faster than high school classes.
• In most college classes, more time is devoted to lecture and less time to student work than in high
school classes.
• There is much greater need for self-motivation in college than in high school.
• College students are assumed to be adults, and if they choose not to attend class or not to do their
homework they are left to suffer the consequences.
The career and college portion of the presentation is designed to give students some ideas about possible
mathematics-related careers, college programs that would prepare them for those careers, and what
mathematics they would need in those college programs. Additionally, the presentation emphasizes to the
students the important fact that mathematics is required in several majors where it is unexpected. For
example, at U Mass Lowell, Calculus I and II are required for students in Biology, Chemistry, and,
surprisingly, Sound Recording Technology. Students in Management are required to take a Calculus course
and, if necessary, a Precalculus prerequisite. Since students at high school are frequently unsure or wrong
about the path they will eventually take in college, failure to complete enough mathematics in high school
can make it difficult or impossible later to switch to another major.

The Annual Fund
In recent years, the commonwealth of Massachusetts has provided less than half of the college’s annual
operating budget. Realizing that Middlesex needed additional private funding to fulfill its institutional
goals, the MCC Foundation launched the Annual Fund in 2006. Through the generosity of alumni,
friends, faculty, staff and area businesses, the Annual Fund Appeal has provided funding for many faculty
and staff projects.
The MCC Foundation Annual Fund Campaign allows Middlesex to:
• Secure unrestricted funds to support innovation and emerging needs
• Maximize eligibility for state matching funds
• Reach out to those who want to support the college
• Meet grant-proposal criteria regarding participation levels for faculty and staff giving
Every penny raised through the Annual Fund is directly applied to college initiatives that help to enrich
and diversify academic offerings, promote student success, and fund exceptional programs to impact
MCC’s teaching, learning and working environment.
