Guided Pathways

At Fullerton College we believe that Guided Pathways is equity work. We began our Pathways journey in September of 2017. Our discussions and inquiries have included thousands of students and hundreds of faculty, staff, and managers. Our goal is simple: We want all students that choose to become Hornets to have an equitable experience and increased success.

The Pathways Steering Committee (PSC) was created to organize and oversee campus work on Guided Pathways. This Committee is co-chaired by Dr. Dani Wilson, Dean of the Library/Learning Resources, Instructional Support Programs and Services, and Dr. Matt Taylor, Department Coordinator for the Department of Communication Studies. The PSC is composed of eight instructional faculty, eight managers, four classified professionals, and two students. The PSC reports to both the Faculty Senate and the President’s Advisory Council.

This work group is focused on helping prospective students become Hornets.
