Mission: Creating student success and making a difference
in our communities through educational leadership
Core Values: Integrity, Respect, Excellence, and Learning
Vision: Our College strives to set the standard of excellence
in higher education by:
- Creating meaningful and engaging learning opportunities
through innovative teaching and learning,
- Attracting and supporting diverse and creative
people and ideas,
- Strengthening community and industry relationships
by providing programs and services responsive to our
constituents' needs, and
- Developing leaders to maintain and enhance
the quality of economic, social, and cultural life in our communities.
Mission Goals: Our Mission goals rest on four beliefs:
To set the standard we must be a healthy continuous learning organization.
Our health and success are inextricably linked to the health and
success of the communities we serve; therefore we must be a strong
contributor to economic and cultural growth. We must never lose
sight of the needs and potential of those we serve. We must understand
clearly the role we wish to play and focus our energies.
Our mission goals are:
1. To enrich the region culturally and help make it increasingly
a part of the creative economy.
2. To contribute to economic development and growth in the region.
3. To manage and utilize the energy and talents of all our human
resources to their best and highest use.
