In this holiday season, we wish you “tenderness for the past, courage for the present, and
hope for the future… a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and
eternal, and that every path may lead to peace.” ~Agnes M. Pahro

Happy Holidays!

December is filled with holidays:
December 16-24: Las Posadas, a nine-day celebration in Mexico commemorating the trials Mary
and Joseph endured during their journey to Bethlehem.
December 21: The Winter Solstice/ Yule. For Pagans and Wiccans, the shortest day of the year
represents a celebration focusing on rebirth, renewal, and new beginnings as the sun makes way
back to the earth. A solstice is an astronomical event that happens twice each year when the Sun
reaches its highest position in the sky.
December 25: Christmas, the day that Christians associate with Jesus’s birth.
December 25: The beginning of Hanukkah (Chanukah). Also known as the Festival of Lights; it
is an eight-day Jewish holiday recognizing the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. It is
observed by lighting candles on a Menorah—one for each day of the festival.
December 26 – January 1: Kwanzaa, an African-American holiday started by Maulana Karenga
in 1966 to celebrate universal African-American heritage.

CTN Wishes You a Wonderful Holiday Season

Whatever your beliefs are, we want to wish you a wonderful holiday season. May the new year be filled with
love, good health and prosperity for all of you. Thank you for your leadership and service on behalf of your
students.

How Catch the Next/Puente Changed My Life

By Nicholas Valerio

Growing up as child in a tough neighborhood without a male role model to guide me was a
devastating handicap. Nevertheless, I was proud of my mother’s efforts to discipline me whenever
I stepped out of line. Being a single-parent, my mother’s home language was Spanish and every
grade level in elementary was taught in English thereby adding to my struggles in school. Because
Spanish was my dominant home language, my grades started dropping and then I didn’t care much
as long as I was barely passing. Regardless of this fact, my mother never gave up on me and
always pushed me toward college.

Before Catch the Next/Puente I didn’t care much about people and headed home after class,
afraid to socialize because I was a loner. But everything changed in August 2015 when I officially
became a member of CTN Puente Dream Catchers. Having a cohort of 25 students for three classes
for a year was intense. Before long we became a close-knit family, like brothers and sisters. This
bonding made for a strong familia with a support group that reinforced the idea of success. From
the start and until the end, my mentors and professors have always been there for me.

The transformation occurred slowly and then I became a stronger person, changing from
being isolated and worried all the time to slowly enjoying the little things in life, together with other
students my age and sharing each other’s company and laughter. As a group, they always made me
realize to stay focused with a positive attitude.

CTN Puente allowed me to become a better thinker because the program taught me the
value of broadening my inner perspective and how to think outside the metaphorical box. They
helped me think like an adult and expanded my empathy for other people. Although the CTN
Puente activities gave me the tools to think for myself, it was the CTN Puente Club that helped me
hone my skills and increased my capacity to problem-solve and work closely with other students
who shared the same vision.

As a CTN Dream-Catcher at Palo Alto College, less fortunate students have to understand
what the program is capable of accomplishing with a support group committed to college success. I
truly believe that CTN Puente should be incorporated in all Texas community colleges because it’ll
intensify the college experience and provide guidance and support for those who truly need it—first
generation college students. As a first-generation student, I couldn’t have made it this far without a
caring staff and a strong faculty to push me forward and encourage me every step of the way. CTN/
Puente is not just a college organization; it is a second family that teaches you wisdom and
knowledge to guide you throughout life.

Judging from Palo Alto College’s participation, our future with CTN Dream Catchers will
continue as more students become involved with the program, and students themselves become
mentors for the next generation. As I move forward after CTN Puente, I will contribute to my
community by donating time and volunteering on a daily basis. While my major is nursing, I plan
on continuing my career, helping people in need and telling my story so that future listeners will see
how CTN /Puente impacted my life. This will educate them into becoming part of CTN/ Puente so
that the program gets bigger and provides a roadmap for our future legacy.

transferring to the University of Texas Health Science Center, and perhaps a future CTN mentor.

CTN Instructors Attend INRW Statewide Meeting

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board held a statewide meeting on Integrated Reading and Writing
on December 2, gathering together scholars, instructors, and administrators from around the state to discuss
INRW initiatives and the future of developmental education in the state. The day began with an overview of the

THECB "60x30" plan which aims to ensure that by 2030, 60% of Texans between 25-34 will have a degree or
certification. Dream Catchers/Puente was highlighted as a promising practice to achieve this goal by

successfully exiting students out of developmental education. This was followed by an insightful panel
discussion that brought together those working on successful national initiatives to both integrate reading and
writing and accelerate developmental coursework. One of the challenges acknowledged was getting faculty to
agree to come on board and, following that, to secure them the release time needed to design a truly integrated
curriculum. Chabot Community College's program was the focus of much discussion; and one study, in
particular, was recommended for current IRW faculty: "Accelerating the Integrated Instruction of
Developmental Reading and Writing at Chabot College" which has both quantitative data and interviews with
faculty and staff who have been working this model since the mid-1990s. Following the panel, instructors from
Austin Community College outlined how they approached professional development for existing Reading and

Writing faculty, using a distance-learning model that also
incorporated cohorts and group work to help instructors as they
designed their courses. The session had a great overview of the
current state of INRW in Texas, practical suggestions for faculty
and Q&As about many of the issues instructors face in the
classrooms and on their campuses. This session was recorded
for webinar and can be accessed on the THECB website.

CTN Cultivates New Peer Mentors

One of the hallmarks of the Catch the Next, Campaign for College Completion in Texas has been the cultivation
of a network of scholars, authors, artists, activists, and community leaders from across the nation who all
believe mightily in contributing to the college success of our students in our Dream Catchers Program
replicating the award winning CA Puente framework in Texas. The CTN Teaching and Learning for Student
Success Peer Mentoring Program is designed to create partnerships among Dream Catchers-Puente practitioners
and those author, scholar, and community leadership mentors who have joined our Dream Catchers' Familia.
Dr. Lydia French, Director of the Teaching and Learning for Student Success program, can help facilitate these
partnerships and provide lines of communication to connect a college’s Dream Catchers team to a peer mentor
who can fulfill the teams—and the students’—needs. Feel free to contact Lydia at
[email protected] for more information.

December Webinar Presenter, Dr. Linda Serra Hagedorn, Speaks on
Models of Transfer for Community College Students

Our December Teaching and Learning for Student Success webinar featured scholar mentor and member of
CTN’s Data and Evaluation team, Dr. Linda Hagedorn, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs,
International Programs, Student Services, Diversity, and Community in the College of Human Sciences and
Professor in the School of Education at Iowa State University. Dr. Hagedorn’s presentation offered a model of
transfer based on analogous models of immigration, in which she suggested that students transferring from
community colleges to four-year colleges and universities face both the challenges that attend college success as
well as stereotypes and assumptions about community college education. Examining three models of immigrant
acculturation, including the melting pot model, the marginalization model, and the model of segmented
assimilation, she suggested that, perhaps, these three options may apply to transfer students when they arrive on
four-year college campuses. Even though we expect that transfer students will blend seamlessly into the culture
of the four-year college a la the melting pot, we risk marginalization and/or ghettoization of transfer students
without intentional and sustained supports that allow a smooth transition. Dr. Hagedorn framed her discussion
with her Declaration of Community College Student Success: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that
while all community college students do not enter the colleges with equal readiness, abilities, or psychological
frameworks; that all are endowed through the community college mission with certain unalienable rights; that
among these are postsecondary access and the pursuit of success.”
For a full look at her talk, see the video recording of this month’s webinar.

Scholarships Available for DREAMERS at Palm Beach State College

This will be the second year Palm Beach State College is a partner college of TheDream.us National
Scholarship Program. This scholarship is for high school seniors and Community College graduate
DREAMERS. We encourage you to share with others, explore and consider this scholarship opportunity open
until March 8th, 2017 www.theDream.us
If you have questions please do not hesitate to contact our center at (561) 868-3973.

Each year, more than 20 million students invest in a college education. Annual expenditures on
college—tuition paid by students plus private, local, state, and federal funding—exceed $500 billion.
Given these large investments, it is important to evaluate whether this spending is as productive as it
could be.
 Are students making investments that will improve their economic futures? Are they choosing
programs and awards with high returns? Does the economy appropriately reward the skills they gain in
college?
 Is public funding of college efficient? Does the financial aid system help students prosper in college
and the labor market?
 Are colleges organized so that these investments yield the highest returns? Which college systems
and policies provide the most help to students? Is higher education regulated in a way that promotes
economic growth?
The 2017 CAPSEE conference, Making the Right Investments in College, will address these questions
as it sums up five years of research from the Center for Analysis of Postsecondary Education and
Employment, a consortium of scholars from seven universities housed and led by the Community
College Research Center (CCRC) at Teachers College, Columbia University. The research draws on
recent large-scale, system-wide datasets provided by five partner states linking college transcripts to
individual student earnings. Presenters will include academic researchers, professionals working within
education systems, policy analysts, and media representatives.
Space is limited, so register today! There is a $275 registration fee.
