    IntroductionThe purpose of this Factbook is to provide detailed

    information on the performance of Gavilan Collegeprograms, services, and students, and to bring togeth-er the results of studies conducted by the Of ce of

    Institutional Research.The Factbook can be a useful tool for examining

    data from a particular term or year and/or reviewingtrends over time.

    This publications creation was limited by the avail-ablility of data from various sources and relies upondata that may have reliability and validity weaknesses.

    The Factbook will be updated periodically.

    Future editions will be strengthened by a campus-wide process underway to assess and summarizeoutcomes for instructional, student support, andadministrative programs. Additionally, with the imple-mentation of a new Executive Information System,more reliable and extensive data will be included. If the reader has suggestions as to what additional datamight be presented, please contact the Of ce of Insti -tutional Research.

    Executive SummaryStudent headcount has steadily increased for thepast ve academic years. For example, from the

    03/04 academic year through the 08/09 academicyear, student headcount has increased approximately

    121%. These considerable increases are likely dueto a combination of service area growth, increases

    and improvements in course and program offerings,outreach efforts, along with economic circumstances.

    The majority of the College population has beenfemale (since 02/03), while males have steadily

    increased slightly in proportion such that they werethe majority of the student population in 08/09

    (52.35%). The proportion of the student populationwho reporting being White has been steadily

    decreasing, with Hispanic-Americans comprisingthe largest ethnic group in 08/09 (38.01%). Sixty-

    percent of degree-seeking students entering GavilanCollege need Basic Skills assistance prior to taking

    transferable courses.The College offers a variety of student support

    programs. While research designs and methods arerudimentary, some of these programs have collectedand analyzed data that suggests these programs are

    effectively assisting students.

    Gavilan College has begun several new initiatives,which are designed to further support students in

    achieving their educational goals. Preliminary datasuggest that programs are effectively supporting

    students.

    The number of degrees has increased for thepast four academic years. For example, from 04/05

    through 07/08 the number of degrees awardedincreased 48.2%. Nevertheless, the proportions of students who are prepared to transfer or who have

    obtained a degree have not increased. It must benoted that these data are the result of cohorts who

    started their academic work ve years prior.

    Female athletics programs have grown over thepast three years and have had some notable successes

    including a 2008 softball playoff berth.

    While the number of students has dramaticallyincreased, staff Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) has

    dropped from Fall 00. Total staff headcount hasincreased slightly over the same period. These seemly

    contradictory data suggest that Gavilan College hasincreased the number of part-time staff and existing

    staff have become more ef cient over this period.

    History

    In 1919 Hollister High School began offering lowerdivision college classes to its graduates. The classeswere offered at the high school site through the newlycreated San Benito Junior College. In time the collegebuilt its own building. In the 1960s the communitycollege movement swept California and the SanBenito High School District joined with neighboring

    Gilroy Uni ed School District and Morgan Hill Uni edSchool District to form the Gavilan Joint CommunityCollege District.

    Voters passed a bond measure to create a fullcollege campus, centrally located within the district.College classes moved to a temporary location at the

    Hollister Airport (still in use as the Gavilan CollegeAviation Program) while the rst facilities on a 170-acre parcel south of Gilroy were constructed. TheGilroy campus added buildings over time throughstate funding, with the last new building constructedin 2003.

    In 1997 and 1998, satellite sites were established inHollister and Morgan Hill to supplement the offeringsat the main campus. In 2004 district residents passedBond Measure E, providing funds to upgrade theGilroy campus and purchase land for future campusesin Coyote Valley and San Benito County. These landpurchases were completed in 2008.
