Vice President's Message
Barbara Perez
Welcome to the fall 2010 semester! I hope all of you are refreshed and energized from your summer activities, and are ready to move forward together in creating a successful 2010-2011 academic year at El Camino College Compton Center.
On the topic of moving forward, we have all contributed to the betterment of our institution and while we’ve seen marked improvement, it is time to take our efforts to the next level. As you know, we have initiated a Flex Day “visioning session” at which we were all stakeholders. The purpose of this session was to ignite innovative thinking about how we see the El Camino College Compton Center of the future. Read more >

CEO's Message
Dr. Lawrence M. Cox
As we embark on a new academic year, reflecting on where we’ve been, where we are now, and where we are going, there’s no doubt that one way to rebuild a solid reputation is to gain trust. We do this by exceeding expectations; and setting a personal goal to achieve and maintain excellence.
This year let us all work toward creating a culture of excellence. One way to do this is by considering different ways of approaching our jobs to improve student success. We must find ways to help elevate ECC Compton Center to the institution of higher education we envision for it.Read more >

Enrollment update
As a great indicator of progress towards one of our overarching priorities—to manage enrollment—the number of new students completing online applications for fall is up 148% over last year. In addition, ECC Compton Center has an 17% increase in sections offered for fall 2010. As of August 31, the number of seats taken is up by 25% over the same period last year. FTES are currently up 26% over fall 2009, which is 101% of our final goal of 2,500, exceeding its Census Day target. We will have a better idea of growth once fall registration is complete.
