Overview

ÇàÇà²ÝÊÓƵ's integrated institutional effectiveness processes operate on a continuous cycle that connects high-level strategy to day-to-day operations and student success. Strategic Planning sets institutional goals to advance the mission, Master Planning allocates resources, Unit Planning advances work across the various departments and administrative units of the College, and Program planning assesses student learning and academic program quality. Appropriate oversight, stakeholders, and tools work to drive quality and continuous improvement. Oversight is provided at every level from the Board of Trustees to faculty and staff, supported by common tools and data. The entire process is designed to drive quality and continuous improvement.
