Strategic Plan

The efforts of the governance groups that drafted this document (Information and Web Technology Committee, IWTC; Educational Technology Committee, ETC; and Administrative Technology Committee, ATC) identified six themed areas of strategy and developed goals within those areas.  These themes and goals represent a mix of best practice and promise.  We also believe that these support the accomplishment of the mission of the College.
