To be an educational leader
in a changing world.
To provide a dynamic learning environment
and diverse opportunities fostering student success
and contributing to the community.
n the South Orange County Community College District it’s all about planning to ensure continued student
success. Ten years ago the Board of Trustees established an aggressive agenda related to planning and conservative
fiscal management. They instituted a series of measures to cut spending and secured certificates of participation
(COPS) for capital projects and technology initiatives to keep Saddleback College and Irvine Valley College
competitive. The colleges accomplished strategic planning and master planning efforts, and the Advanced
Technology & Education Park (ATEP) opened its initial campus on the former Marine Corps Air Station-Tustin.
In 2008, the COPS debt was retired, by board policy the reserve
was set at 7.5%, and SOCCCD, with an annual budget
of $425 million, was one of the first districts in the
state to fully fund its retiree liability.
While many community college districts throughout
the nation depend upon bonds to fund capital
improvements, SOCCCD has “basic aid.” Because
the district is located in south Orange County,
the property taxes collected are beyond the state
funding formula. The Board has chosen not to seek
additional taxes in the form of “bond” measures
because residents are already paying more. This
funding source of between $40 and $50 million per
year is also responsible for the early repayment of
the COPS debt and fully funding retiree liability.
The Board is keenly aware that basic aid could go
away at any time. We consider “basic aid” dollars
equivalent to “bond” money.
SOCCCD planned ahead to the inevitable “rainy
day” of the economic downturn now occurring in
the State of California. The vitality of our three
campuses can be seen in new building construction,
renovation projects, sustainability initiatives, state
of the art technology and equipment, expanding
online infrastructure, and new academic and career
technical programs with focus on student success.
While the state economy is in crisis and regional
economic indicators are trending downward, our
district is hiring new faculty and finalizing the long
term development plans for ATEP.
Due to thoughtful guardianship by the Board of
Trustees and strategic planning by our District and
the colleges, we proudly have the resources to
provide high quality learning opportunities to our
students to meet the challenges of the changing
economy. The global economic leadership of
Orange County can depend on South Orange
County Community College District.

“[New jobs in the 21st Century] will all demand the ability to be a good horizontal collaborator, comfortable
working for a global company (one whose headquarters may be in Beijing or Bangalore, not Boston), and
translating its services for the local market, wherever that may be. It is about being able to operate in, mobilize,
inspire, and manage a multidimensional and multicultural workforce…”
–Thomas Friedman, TheWorld Is Flat
sThomas Friedman points out in his seminal book on the flattening of the world, providing a global
viewpoint and a broad experience of other countries and other cultures to our students is now an essential
part of higher education’s mission. Furthering academic exchange—in both
directions—is one of the best investments that we can make to strengthen
U.S. education and research activities and foster cross-border collaboration
on shared global problems, such as fighting disease, protecting the
environment, and countering terrorism. Our local
prosperity is tied to our national success in the
global economy.
International
Students
International student enrollment is at an all
time high in the U.S. and this holds true
for Saddleback College and Irvine
Valley College as well. This past year,
Saddleback College enrolled over
350 international students each
semester and IrvineValley College
enrolled over 200 international
students each semester. Our
international students come
from over 36 different countries,
including Australia, Brazil, Canada,
Cameroon, Colombia, China, Egypt,
France, Germany, Honduras, Hong Kong,
India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Kuwait,
Lebanon, Malaysia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru,
Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore,
Sweden, South Korea,Taiwan,Tanzania,Thailand,
Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United
Kingdom andVietnam.
Study Abroad
The number of Saddleback College and IrvineValley
College students studying abroad continues to increase. Current
study abroad opportunities include: England, Mexico, Peru and two locations
in Spain—Salamanca and Santander.
alifornia is currently home to approximately 2.3 million veterans, more than any other
state in the nation. With many vets coming home from tours of duty overseas, they help bring
a global perspective and experience into the classroom. They are our future CEOs, teachers,
doctors, lawyers and builders of our state and country. SOCCCD is proud to participate in
California’s Troops to College initiative, which provides educational
opportunities and assistance to all members of the military, and
specifically targets men and women on active duty in the National
Guard and the Reserves.
Both Irvine Valley College and Saddleback College have Veteran’s
Affairs Offices, with counselors and outreach staff who are
themselves vets. IVC also has a veterans club, “The IVC Patriots,”
which provides support and resources for returning military men
and women and their family members who are attending the
college. Both colleges also have extensive support services for
disabled students.
Irvine Valley College has been designated a Servicemembers
Opportunity Consortium (SOC) campus. SOC is a consortium of
over 1,800 universities, colleges, community colleges, and technical
institutes within the U.S. and overseas, offering a variety of
educational programs that helps to ensure that servicemembers
and their families experience a continuity of educational benefits
no matter how often or where they are relocated.
During the year our colleges also hold official veterans’
recognition ceremonies. Currently, there are projects to build
distinctive campus memorials to the men and women who serve
and have served our country so selflessly—a tribute clock
tower at IVC and a memorial sculpture garden at Saddleback College.
Whether it’s advancing active military careers, preparing military personnel for
the civilian workplace or as a military-friendly employer, South Orange County
Community College District is committed to helping servicemembers and
their families successfully achieve their educational and career goals.
16,000 of the 21,000 veterans and their dependents using GI
Bill benefits at California public colleges and universities are in
the California Community College system. Eight of the top 10 public
California colleges, in terms of GI benefit recipients, are community colleges.
Green Curriculum
Our colleges are currently integrating sustainability
into many of their general education courses, with
the ultimate goal of incorporating sustainability across
the entire curriculum. Courses such as Environmental
Geology, Marine Biology, Biodiversity Conservation, Introduction to Ecology, and Alternative Energy
Technologies are taught by expert instructors and guest speakers and often include team projects, hands
on experiences, lab work and field trips. Saddleback College actually has an outdoor Environmental Studies
classroom located in the middle of a xerigraphic garden—students can step out of their classroom into their
class project!
Saddleback College, Irvine Valley College and ATEP are also taking the lead in training the first generation
of green collar workers. From automotive technology courses in Enhanced Clean Area Cars to proposed
“green technology” certificates and “sustainable studies occupational skills” awards, our academic divisions
and departments are “going green” across the board.
Another innovative approach to mitigating pollution,
overcrowding and other adverse impacts on the environment
is to add more “virtual” or online classes to our already
popular catalog of online courses. The number of students
enrolling in online courses has grown exponentially over the
last few years.
Community Outreach
Getting the community involved and educated about
sustainability is a vital part of our mission. Student activists
at each of our campuses are leading the way in promoting
campus/community partnerships on sustainability issues.
Recently, student members of IVC’s Phi Theta Kappa
sponsored a very popular Community E-Waste Day and
the Associated Student Government of Saddleback College
held its first Big [Cigarette] Butt Cleanup Day. These annual
events show that by working together, we can all take
advantage of the opportunities, as well as challenges, offered
by “going green.”
“
”
In a world that is getting hot, flat, and crowded, the task of creating the tools, systems,
energy sources, and ethics that will allow the planet to grow in cleaner, more sustainable
ways is going to be the biggest challenge of our lifetime. But this challenge is actually
an opportunity for America. If we take it on, it will revive America at home, reconnect
America abroad, and retool America for tomorrow.
–Thomas Friedman, Hot, Flat, and Crowded
An Eco-Friendly Organizational Culture
Advancing sustainability on each of our three campuses is a top priority for the coming year. A district-wide
leadership team has been formed to explore integrating sustainability into all facets of the district: mission
and planning, curricula, research, purchasing, student life, operations, professional development, legislative
activities, and community outreach and partnerships. “We want to help everyone be a part of the solution.
Even small actions add up and make a difference,” says Chancellor Mathur.
Promoting Green Facilities
Building environmentally conscious structures is a good start, such as the first phase of the new ATEP
campus in Tustin, the Business and General Studies building retrofit at Saddleback College and the new
Business Sciences Technology and Innovation Center
at Irvine Valley College. In addition, district and
college facilities directors and their teams have
been working behind the scenes to improve waste
management, increase recycling efforts, and reduce
energy use to make an even bigger impact.
Saddleback College, for instance, is seeing a
savings of one million kW-hours and $200,000 per
year through energy conservation efforts, and has
a waste recycling rate of over 50% for five years
with a high of 71.4%. Saddleback’s 1.5 megawatt
cogeneration facility provides 8.5 million kW-hours
with savings of $480,000 per year. The college also
saves approximately $75,000 per year by using 60 million gallons of reclaimed water. A new absorption
chiller is projected to save over $210,000 per year.
Irvine Valley College’s micro-turbine cogeneration plant produced 1.45 million kW-hours this past year.
Converting excess heat and using it to cool the campus saved over $290,000 in air conditioning costs. Solar
voltaic panels installed on the roof of Hart Gymnasium produce 306,600 kW-hours of power annually.
During peak periods of sunlight this array is capable of providing 100% of Hart Gym’s power needs. This
system has proven to be virtually maintenance free and results in annual savings of $61,000. IVC plans to
add a second large-scale solar installation on the roof of the newly completed Business Sciences Technology
and Innovation Center, one which will generate more than twice the amount of energy produced from the
Hart Gym solar array.
”
elebrating its 40th anniversary, Saddleback
College has welcomed more than half a million
students since first opening its doors in 1968.
What began with 1,536 students in 13 buildings
on a few acres has grown into a multiple-building,
200 acre campus offering more than 300 academic
and career technical programs serving over 26,000
students annually.
Saddleback College is all about student success.
The Transfer Center has helped students transfer
to four year colleges and universities in 41 states
across the nation and is ranked 11th out of 110
California community colleges in transfers to
the University of California. Students pursuing
technical careers find that they are highly
competitive in the workplace after receiving their
training and certification at Saddleback College.
Saddleback College is a south Orange County
community tradition that provides world-class
athletics and fine arts along with popular programs
for children through its Community Education
Program and its senior population through the
Emeritus Institute.
Entertainment and
Theater Technology
Technical elements including lights, sound and set
design can transform a good production into a
great production. Saddleback’s Division of Fine
Arts has introduced a certificate program that
will give students hands on experiences creating
the technical elements of theater arts productions
and other live events. Students will gain practical
knowledge of theater technical skills with a
streamlined path to employers, or they can begin
a baccalaureate degree in technical theater and
transfer to a conservatory program.
Rapid Digital Manufacturing Program
Saddleback’s RapidTech Center offers a Rapid Digital Manufacturing program that trains students
to create custom parts and prototypes used in manufacturing, architecture, medical modeling, and
entertainment industries. RapidTech received a $4 million grant from the National Science Foundation
to teach students the rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing processes for several corporate
partners including Pixar, Ford, Honda, and Boeing.
Algebra 2 Go
To help his students perform better on tests, Math
Professor Larry Perez studied the notes his top students
took during class. He discovered a pattern, and with the
help of a grant from the Saddleback College Foundation,
Professor Perez hired one of his best students to prepare
notes for all of his classes and made them available on his
“Algebra 2 Go” website. Professor Perez then created a
virtual classroom by producing and acting in videos where
he plays both professor and student. These informative
and funny videos, which are available on the Saddleback
College website and YouTube, have increased student
success in all types of math.
Environmental Studies
Saddleback College’s environmental studies program
offers students the ability to earn an associate’s degree
or a certificate. Students in the degree program
study the human impact on the environment
and possible solutions, while students pursuing a
certificate focus on the ecological restoration of
degraded habitats. Much of the program is held in
Saddleback College’s California Native Garden – a
sustainable outdoor classroom maintained by student
volunteers who use no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.
Three new classes will be introduced in the fall semester
of 2009, including environmental law and policy,
environmental ethics, and green living.
“Each year, new and innovative
education and training programs are
offered at Saddleback College to help
our students stay ahead in the job
market. From environmental studies to
rapid prototyping technology, our record
of keeping ahead of changes in the
workplace will enable our students to
compete in a global economy focused
on innovation and sustainability.

Early College Partnership
In its second year, the Early College Partnership program has expanded to include Beckman High and Tustin
High schools. Each year, cohorts of 9th and 10th grade students study four high school courses and two IVC
courses per semester, receiving dual credit for high school and college for approved courses. The college
courses are transferable to UC and CSU. By high school graduation the students who complete the program
are eligible to enter four year institutions as juniors. Courses in humanities, fine arts, speech and world
history were added to the highly successful program this year.
Certificate Program:
Dance Technique
IVC’s dance department has a
new certificate program in Dance
Technique. The program trains
students in a variety of dance
techniques and styles, and prepares
them to audition at any of the
numerous performance-based
entertainment venues in the region or
pursue further study in choreography,
dance instruction, or professional
dance. IVC is partnering with potential
employers to ensure that the college
is preparing students for requirements of
the dance field and collaborating with CSU, UC and other institutions to assure successful transfer to these
higher education institutions.
Career Technical Education Teacher Preparation (CTE)
IVC was awarded a $225,000Teacher Preparation Pipeline grant by the State Chancellor’s Office to address
the anticipated shortage of CTE teachers in secondary and post-secondary education in the coming decade.
This will allow IVC students to serve as teaching assistants in CTE classrooms while learning appropriate
practices and effective methods in preparing lesson plans and delivering instruction.
Electronic Technology Certificate Prepares Women
for Technology Jobs
Irvine Valley College was one of eight California community colleges selected to receive funding for the
CalWomenTech Project through a National Science Foundation grant that will provide free, intensive training
and assistance to IVC’s Electronic Technology program for the next three years. The program will increase the
number of women enrolled and retained in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education. A

President
n August 2007, the South Orange County
Community College District opened its third
campus, the Advanced Technology & Education Park
(ATEP) in Tustin with 400 students and 31 classes
from Saddleback College, Irvine Valley College and
the Center for Applied Competitive Technologies
(CACT). One year later, ATEP has doubled its
enrollment to 850 students and 70 course offerings,
and long range planning has been completed for a
major expansion on 68 acres in Tustin Legacy, the
award-winning redevelopment project on the former
Marine Corps Air Station-Tustin.
Part high-tech career development, part general
education, ATEP’s initial programs include
Design Model Making & Prototyping, competitive
technologies including Optics and Photonics, and
an Entrepreneurship Institute. General education
courses are also offered through Saddleback College
and Irvine Valley College to prepare students in a
wide variety of arts, sciences and technology fields.
Six academic areas are detailed in the long range
academic plan for ATEP, as critically needed in
the region and that are exceeding their capacity
at Saddleback College and Irvine Valley College:
Entertainment Arts & Technology, Nursing,
Biotechnology, Design Model Making & Rapid
Prototyping, Optics and Photonics, and a Workforce
Development Center.
Entrepreneurship Institute
Orange County is a hub for innovation and intellectual property. Through the new Entrepreneurial Institute
located at ATEP, participants are learning practical business entrepreneurship skills. The Institute provides
training in: preparing the critical business plan, securing financing, and managing money, taxes and assets. In
addition, important legal issues such as employment law and protecting trade secrets, patents, copyrights, and
trademarks are covered. These accelerated four and eight week classes are designed to empower students
with the tools they need to become a successful entrepreneur.
Design Model Making & Prototyping
Students in the Design Model Making & Prototyping
program utilize our leading edge technology lab to gain
hands on training in basic and advanced model making,
3D computer design, 3D rapid model making and
prototyping and rapid visualization to prepare them for
jobs in product/industrial design, automotive design,
architecture, landscaping, jewelry design, entertainment,
medical device manufacturing and more. Computer
design, hands on modeling and art skills are integrated to
train students for careers that are in high demand locally
and have application across dozens of industries. Many
students in the program create their own inventions.

    To be aneducational leader in a changing world. To provide a dynamic learning environment and diverse opportunities fostering student success and contributing to the community. n the South Orange County Community College District it’s all about planning to ensure continued student success. Ten years ago the Board of Trustees established an aggressive agenda related to planning and conservative fiscal management. They instituted a series of measures to cut spending and secured certificates of participation (COPS) for capital projects and technology initiatives to keep Saddleback College and Irvine Valley College competitive. The colleges accomplished strategic planning and master planning efforts, and the Advanced Technology & Education Park (ATEP) opened its initial campus on the former Marine Corps Air Station-Tustin. In 2008, the COPS debt was retired, by board policy the reserve was set at 7.5%, and SOCCCD, with an annual budget of $425 million, was one of the first districts in the state to fully fund its retiree liability. While many community college districts throughout the nation depend upon bonds to fund capital improvements, SOCCCD has “basic aid.” Because the district is located in south Orange County, the property taxes collected are beyond the state funding formula. The Board has chosen not to seek additional taxes in the form of “bond” measures because residents are already paying more. This funding source of between $40 and $50 million per year is also responsible for the early repayment of the COPS debt and fully funding retiree liability. The Board is keenly aware that basic aid could go away at any time. We consider “basic aid” dollars equivalent to “bond” money. SOCCCD planned ahead to the inevitable “rainy day” of the economic downturn now occurring in the State of California. The vitality of our three campuses can be seen in new building construction, renovation projects, sustainability initiatives, state of the art technology and equipment, expanding online infrastructure, and new academic and career technical programs with focus on student success. While the state economy is in crisis and regional economic indicators are trending downward, our district is hiring new faculty and finalizing the long term development plans for ATEP. Due to thoughtful guardianship by the Board of Trustees and strategic planning by our District and the colleges, we proudly have the resources to provide high quality learning opportunities to our students to meet the challenges of the changing economy. The global economic leadership of Orange County can depend on South Orange County Community College District. –Dr. Raghu P. Mathur Chancellor “ ” SOCCCD planned ahead to the inevitable “rainy day” of the economic downturn now occurring in the State of California.The vitality of our three campuses can be seen in new building construction, renovation projects, sustainability initiatives, state of the art technology and equipment, expanding online infrastructure, and new academic and career technical programs with focus on student success. –Chancellor Mathur

    “[New jobs inthe 21st Century] will all demand the ability to be a good horizontal collaborator, comfortable working for a global company (one whose headquarters may be in Beijing or Bangalore, not Boston), and translating its services for the local market, wherever that may be. It is about being able to operate in, mobilize, inspire, and manage a multidimensional and multicultural workforce…” –Thomas Friedman, TheWorld Is Flat sThomas Friedman points out in his seminal book on the flattening of the world, providing a global viewpoint and a broad experience of other countries and other cultures to our students is now an essential part of higher education’s mission. Furthering academic exchange—in both directions—is one of the best investments that we can make to strengthen U.S. education and research activities and foster cross-border collaboration on shared global problems, such as fighting disease, protecting the environment, and countering terrorism. Our local prosperity is tied to our national success in the global economy. International Students International student enrollment is at an all time high in the U.S. and this holds true for Saddleback College and Irvine Valley College as well. This past year, Saddleback College enrolled over 350 international students each semester and IrvineValley College enrolled over 200 international students each semester. Our international students come from over 36 different countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Cameroon, Colombia, China, Egypt, France, Germany, Honduras, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sweden, South Korea,Taiwan,Tanzania,Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom andVietnam. Study Abroad The number of Saddleback College and IrvineValley College students studying abroad continues to increase. Current study abroad opportunities include: England, Mexico, Peru and two locations in Spain—Salamanca and Santander. alifornia is currently home to approximately 2.3 million veterans, more than any other state in the nation. With many vets coming home from tours of duty overseas, they help bring a global perspective and experience into the classroom. They are our future CEOs, teachers, doctors, lawyers and builders of our state and country. SOCCCD is proud to participate in California’s Troops to College initiative, which provides educational opportunities and assistance to all members of the military, and specifically targets men and women on active duty in the National Guard and the Reserves. Both Irvine Valley College and Saddleback College have Veteran’s Affairs Offices, with counselors and outreach staff who are themselves vets. IVC also has a veterans club, “The IVC Patriots,” which provides support and resources for returning military men and women and their family members who are attending the college. Both colleges also have extensive support services for disabled students. Irvine Valley College has been designated a Servicemembers Opportunity Consortium (SOC) campus. SOC is a consortium of over 1,800 universities, colleges, community colleges, and technical institutes within the U.S. and overseas, offering a variety of educational programs that helps to ensure that servicemembers and their families experience a continuity of educational benefits no matter how often or where they are relocated. During the year our colleges also hold official veterans’ recognition ceremonies. Currently, there are projects to build distinctive campus memorials to the men and women who serve and have served our country so selflessly—a tribute clock tower at IVC and a memorial sculpture garden at Saddleback College. Whether it’s advancing active military careers, preparing military personnel for the civilian workplace or as a military-friendly employer, South Orange County Community College District is committed to helping servicemembers and their families successfully achieve their educational and career goals. 16,000 of the 21,000 veterans and their dependents using GI Bill benefits at California public colleges and universities are in the California Community College system. Eight of the top 10 public California colleges, in terms of GI benefit recipients, are community colleges.

    Green Curriculum Our collegesare currently integrating sustainability into many of their general education courses, with the ultimate goal of incorporating sustainability across the entire curriculum. Courses such as Environmental Geology, Marine Biology, Biodiversity Conservation, Introduction to Ecology, and Alternative Energy Technologies are taught by expert instructors and guest speakers and often include team projects, hands on experiences, lab work and field trips. Saddleback College actually has an outdoor Environmental Studies classroom located in the middle of a xerigraphic garden—students can step out of their classroom into their class project! Saddleback College, Irvine Valley College and ATEP are also taking the lead in training the first generation of green collar workers. From automotive technology courses in Enhanced Clean Area Cars to proposed “green technology” certificates and “sustainable studies occupational skills” awards, our academic divisions and departments are “going green” across the board. Another innovative approach to mitigating pollution, overcrowding and other adverse impacts on the environment is to add more “virtual” or online classes to our already popular catalog of online courses. The number of students enrolling in online courses has grown exponentially over the last few years. Community Outreach Getting the community involved and educated about sustainability is a vital part of our mission. Student activists at each of our campuses are leading the way in promoting campus/community partnerships on sustainability issues. Recently, student members of IVC’s Phi Theta Kappa sponsored a very popular Community E-Waste Day and the Associated Student Government of Saddleback College held its first Big [Cigarette] Butt Cleanup Day. These annual events show that by working together, we can all take advantage of the opportunities, as well as challenges, offered by “going green.” “ ” In a world that is getting hot, flat, and crowded, the task of creating the tools, systems, energy sources, and ethics that will allow the planet to grow in cleaner, more sustainable ways is going to be the biggest challenge of our lifetime. But this challenge is actually an opportunity for America. If we take it on, it will revive America at home, reconnect America abroad, and retool America for tomorrow. –Thomas Friedman, Hot, Flat, and Crowded An Eco-Friendly Organizational Culture Advancing sustainability on each of our three campuses is a top priority for the coming year. A district-wide leadership team has been formed to explore integrating sustainability into all facets of the district: mission and planning, curricula, research, purchasing, student life, operations, professional development, legislative activities, and community outreach and partnerships. “We want to help everyone be a part of the solution. Even small actions add up and make a difference,” says Chancellor Mathur. Promoting Green Facilities Building environmentally conscious structures is a good start, such as the first phase of the new ATEP campus in Tustin, the Business and General Studies building retrofit at Saddleback College and the new Business Sciences Technology and Innovation Center at Irvine Valley College. In addition, district and college facilities directors and their teams have been working behind the scenes to improve waste management, increase recycling efforts, and reduce energy use to make an even bigger impact. Saddleback College, for instance, is seeing a savings of one million kW-hours and $200,000 per year through energy conservation efforts, and has a waste recycling rate of over 50% for five years with a high of 71.4%. Saddleback’s 1.5 megawatt cogeneration facility provides 8.5 million kW-hours with savings of $480,000 per year. The college also saves approximately $75,000 per year by using 60 million gallons of reclaimed water. A new absorption chiller is projected to save over $210,000 per year. Irvine Valley College’s micro-turbine cogeneration plant produced 1.45 million kW-hours this past year. Converting excess heat and using it to cool the campus saved over $290,000 in air conditioning costs. Solar voltaic panels installed on the roof of Hart Gymnasium produce 306,600 kW-hours of power annually. During peak periods of sunlight this array is capable of providing 100% of Hart Gym’s power needs. This system has proven to be virtually maintenance free and results in annual savings of $61,000. IVC plans to add a second large-scale solar installation on the roof of the newly completed Business Sciences Technology and Innovation Center, one which will generate more than twice the amount of energy produced from the Hart Gym solar array.

    ” elebrating its 40thanniversary, Saddleback College has welcomed more than half a million students since first opening its doors in 1968. What began with 1,536 students in 13 buildings on a few acres has grown into a multiple-building, 200 acre campus offering more than 300 academic and career technical programs serving over 26,000 students annually. Saddleback College is all about student success. The Transfer Center has helped students transfer to four year colleges and universities in 41 states across the nation and is ranked 11th out of 110 California community colleges in transfers to the University of California. Students pursuing technical careers find that they are highly competitive in the workplace after receiving their training and certification at Saddleback College. Saddleback College is a south Orange County community tradition that provides world-class athletics and fine arts along with popular programs for children through its Community Education Program and its senior population through the Emeritus Institute. Entertainment and Theater Technology Technical elements including lights, sound and set design can transform a good production into a great production. Saddleback’s Division of Fine Arts has introduced a certificate program that will give students hands on experiences creating the technical elements of theater arts productions and other live events. Students will gain practical knowledge of theater technical skills with a streamlined path to employers, or they can begin a baccalaureate degree in technical theater and transfer to a conservatory program. Rapid Digital Manufacturing Program Saddleback’s RapidTech Center offers a Rapid Digital Manufacturing program that trains students to create custom parts and prototypes used in manufacturing, architecture, medical modeling, and entertainment industries. RapidTech received a $4 million grant from the National Science Foundation to teach students the rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing processes for several corporate partners including Pixar, Ford, Honda, and Boeing. Algebra 2 Go To help his students perform better on tests, Math Professor Larry Perez studied the notes his top students took during class. He discovered a pattern, and with the help of a grant from the Saddleback College Foundation, Professor Perez hired one of his best students to prepare notes for all of his classes and made them available on his “Algebra 2 Go” website. Professor Perez then created a virtual classroom by producing and acting in videos where he plays both professor and student. These informative and funny videos, which are available on the Saddleback College website and YouTube, have increased student success in all types of math. Environmental Studies Saddleback College’s environmental studies program offers students the ability to earn an associate’s degree or a certificate. Students in the degree program study the human impact on the environment and possible solutions, while students pursuing a certificate focus on the ecological restoration of degraded habitats. Much of the program is held in Saddleback College’s California Native Garden – a sustainable outdoor classroom maintained by student volunteers who use no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Three new classes will be introduced in the fall semester of 2009, including environmental law and policy, environmental ethics, and green living. “Each year, new and innovative education and training programs are offered at Saddleback College to help our students stay ahead in the job market. From environmental studies to rapid prototyping technology, our record of keeping ahead of changes in the workplace will enable our students to compete in a global economy focused on innovation and sustainability. –Dr.Tod A. Burnett President

The college courses are transferable to UC and CSU. By high school graduation the students who complete the program are eligible to enter four year institutions as juniors. Courses in humanities, fine arts, speech and world history were added to the highly successful program this year. Certificate Program: Dance Technique IVC’s dance department has a new certificate program in Dance Technique. The program trains students in a variety of dance techniques and styles, and prepares them to audition at any of the numerous performance-based entertainment venues in the region or pursue further study in choreography, dance instruction, or professional dance. IVC is partnering with potential employers to ensure that the college is preparing students for requirements of the dance field and collaborating with CSU, UC and other institutions to assure successful transfer to these higher education institutions. Career Technical Education Teacher Preparation (CTE) IVC was awarded a $225,000Teacher Preparation Pipeline grant by the State Chancellor’s Office to address the anticipated shortage of CTE teachers in secondary and post-secondary education in the coming decade. This will allow IVC students to serve as teaching assistants in CTE classrooms while learning appropriate practices and effective methods in preparing lesson plans and delivering instruction. Electronic Technology Certificate Prepares Women for Technology Jobs Irvine Valley College was one of eight California community colleges selected to receive funding for the CalWomenTech Project through a National Science Foundation grant that will provide free, intensive training and assistance to IVC’s Electronic Technology program for the next three years. The program will increase the number of women enrolled and retained in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education. A degree or certificate in Electronic Technology from IVC prepares students for technology jobs in the computer, software, biomedical, telecommunications, automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics industries.

Learning online allows students more freedom than the traditional classroom. Online courses are less disruptive to work schedules, save on gas, reduce traffic congestion and help the environment by reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. In the charts below, the bars illustrate the student headcount for each academic year and the lines display the growth in online classes’ percentage of total instruction. Thirteen percent of Saddleback’s instruction and 11 percent of IVC’s instruction is now online. 4,000 3,000 2,000 1,000 0 | | | | | | 2002–03 2003–04 2004–05 2005–06 2006–07 2007–08 Saddleback College Student Headcount and Percentage of Online Instruction – 15% – 10% – 5% – 0% Student Headcount % of Instruction Online 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 Irvine Valley College Student Headcount and Percentage of Online Instruction – 15% – 10% – 5% – 0% | | | | | | 2002–03 2003–04 2004–05 2005–06 2006–07 2007–08 34,737 34,540 33,643 33,265 34,189 36,016 0.6% 2.7% 3.9% 6.1% 11.0% 13.3% 20,975 21,138 20,326 20,739 21,356 22,713 4.5% 6.1% 7.3% 8.7% 11.1% 3.4%
