Project Success is...
Grossmont College English Department’s learning community program. A learning community is made up of courses that are linked—they have different instructors teaching different subjects, but they are made up of the same cohort of students. The beauty of this is that students are part of a community of peers who are going through the same experience and learning the same content. Students get to connect with these classmates, collaborate on assignments, and even study together. The instructors all work together to create engaging curriculum often centered around a common theme, problem or public issue. The assignments inspire deep thinking, powerful interdisciplinary connections, and real-world application. As an added bonus, a recent 2021 study of the program proved that students in Project Success learning communities succeed at higher rates and earn higher GPAs!
Recent links combine English 120, English 120/020, or English 124 with popular GE courses in departments such as Ethnic Studies, Sociology, Music, History, and Counseling. Some include face-to-face courses and others fully online courses. Many of these links are also part of other programs on campus that offer students rich resources and special perks, such as direct access to a counselor and priority registration. These programs consist of Umoja, Puente, and the First-Year Experience (FYE) program.
Project Success faculty members are committed to creating a positive experience for students, from collaborating with each other often to ensuring their curriculum is exciting and relevant.
