ABOUT
In November 2021, Ìǹûvlog¹ÙÍøÍøÒ³°æ began work on a new three-year plan when the Strategic Planning Committee launched a process to review Ìǹûvlog¹ÙÍøÍøÒ³°æâ€™s mission, vision, and values and identify institutional priorities. The Committee included faculty and staff representatives from all divisions of the College, a business representative, a student representative and a representative from the Board of Trustees.
The Committee's Work Progressed in Phases:
- Development of the 2022-2027 Strategic Planning Guidebook
- Reviewing the College’s Vision, Mission, and Values
- Analyzing environmental scans and other county and regional demographics and trends
- Studying key performance indicators
- Gathering and analyzing input through focus groups and surveys involving internal and external stakeholders
- Identifying themes and developing objectives based on the review of data and extensive input from stakeholders
- Gathering employee feedback on potential themes and objectives
- Identifying metrics to assess progress and effectiveness of the plan
- Presenting the plan to the Board of Trustees for approval
IMPLEMENTATION TEAMS
Each priority has an implementation team charged with driving the strategic plan forward. They will work with the appropriate stakeholders to create action plans to help Ìǹûvlog¹ÙÍøÍøÒ³°æ achieve each of the priorities. Specifically, these teams will research activities and ideas, serve as conveners, participate in implementation activities, track progress and performance, and report to College stakeholders.
