We, the Strategic Planning Project Team, are pleased to present this plan for the college. We believe it will significantly enhance our ability to provide effective, comprehensive educational programs and services, now and into the future. 

The plan's foundation is quality education, education that meets the needs of the community and provides the setting in which students can enrich and transform their lives. The plan describes broad institutional directions and goals identified as essential to the college in accomplishing its mission. These institutional directions and goals are, by their nature, dynamic and interrelated, making this document a work in progress designed to be reviewed and updated regularly to ensure that educational quality remains our highest priority. 

The next step is for all of us - through departments, teams, councils and divisions - to use the institutional directions and goals to develop action plans with objectives that will guide us in our daily work. The knowledge and expertise of staff, especially those closest to the issues, will be essential in this task. From this work a flow of accountability will be established and priorities supported through resource allocation. Work groups that are here this summer can begin working when they are ready. A collegewide process will be launched this fall. 

Several hundred staff and many community members contributed to the development of our strategic plan and it will be through all our efforts that the vision will be actualized. This plan will enable us to maintain the traditional strengths of a comprehensive and caring institution while continuing the transformation into the learning college we aspire to create.
