NATION’S NOTES
Raise your hand if you knew the NC Community College system recently adopted a new strategic plan.
The system’s new plan was adopted in January, but you will likely hear a whole lot more about it now that President Peter Hans has taken charge. The name of the system’s plan, Putting Education to Work, illustrates the core strategic approach of the plan, which is built around four themes:
- Student Interest and Access
- Clear and Supported Pathways for Student Progress and Success
- Economic and Workforce Impact
- System Effectiveness
If you want to check out the plan before you offer your thoughts, head over to the system website: http://www.nccommunitycolleges.edu/strategic-plan.
All the best,
Nation
We want to hear from you.
