Our next two sessions are planned for Fridays Feb. 4 and 11. Both will be held in the auditorium from 1-4 pm. Here is a summary of Friday’s outcomes: We revised the College’s vision statement, which now reads: As a leader in education, a catalyst for economic growth and as the provider of choice for workforce development, West Virginia Northern Community College is recognized and admired for being a community of learners who model integrity, mutual respect, partnerships, and a commitment to excellence and community service. We envision empowering students to take ownership of their education as the College expertly manages continued growth in conjunction with fiscal responsibility, engages and retains a diverse population of life-long learners, and produces graduates in unprecedented numbers. As this vision is attained, West Virginia Northern Community College deservedly will earn a regional, statewide and national reputation for best practices. We also began to state goals and came up with a total of 6 goals for the Strategic Plan. We may add a 7th goal that addresses assessment. Goal 1 reads – Prepare students to be successful in education and the workplace. Some bulleted items beneath that goal, which we’ll use to state objectives and action items are: * Subsequent education * Increase graduation rates * Assisting students with using technology * Utilize best practices * Student pride * Create an environment of ownership * Community of learners/family, also family environment (working together) * Engage families of students (being a “college coach”) * Provide a friendly environment * Retain students The other goals, which have not yet been worded specifically are: Goal 2 – Student Access Goal 3 – Workforce Development Goal 4 – Resources Goal 5 – Provide quality education and teaching Goal 6 – Student and community services Possible Goal 7 – Assessment Thanks again! I hope you see you all on Friday! Rana D. Spurlock West Virginia Northern Community College Office of Institutional Advancement 1704 Market Street Wheeling, WV 26003 1-304-214-8906 rspurlock@wvncc.edu
