Hi FOOBAR,
Thank you for the response. What is distinctively different with our Student Diversity Program (SDP) is its 'Catch-back Plan' (CBP) counseling model. The CBP was originally designed to assist the African American male basketball players at California State University Fullerton, California.
Important strategies of the SDP include "Catch-back" planning, psychological counseling, faculty mentoring, group counseling, peer mentoring, and multicultural ttraining, all aimed at increasing self-efficacy, self-esteem, mastery commitment, coping skilss, and cultural awareness. The "Catch-back" plan uses theories based on building self-esteem, self-efficacy, and mastery through the use of planning, assessment, and expectation, and assertiveness training. Key instruments include the Time Management instrument, the Goal Setting Pyramid, and the Art of Mastery instrument (all are available from the undersigned). The model incorporating the Catch-Back plan and these instruments all aim at moving students' control locus from exterbnal to internal, improving academic integration, developing an "information rich" envirornment, and improving the campus climate for learning. Basic tenets of the SDP are found in Alan Seidman (2007), Minority Student Retention: The Best of the Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, pp. 231-241. The SDP further provides participants with role models, mentors, and advisors via a corps of community leaders who work with the participants on a volunteer basis. The SDP Advisory Council, composed of faculty, and staff, provides a further communication and support network. SDP staff conduct evaluations of the program routinely, with staff as well as student participants rating all aspects of the program.
Since 1994, we have realized periods where our retention and graduate rates were 100% for six consecutive years. We currently have 755 college and 600 high school student participants.
