Every year, the Administrative Council — the college's senior leadership — creates and approves a key goals update of the college’s overall transformational plan.
These goals are like a roadmap, showing where the college has been, where it is now and where it is going.
So how is Columbia College doing for the 2011-2012 academic year?
Here’s a rundown:
Goals | Update |
---|---|
Increase Day student enrollment. | The college approved five new sports for the 2012-13 academic year. These new sports could bring 40-70 new students to the college in the first year alone. |
“Good fit” will be the focus of all venues with regard to recruitment and retention. | Military Spouse Tuition Grant availability expanded to all in-seat venues. |
New markets will be created and existing markets expanded. | New office opened at Naval Base San Diego, expanding services in one of the world’s largest military concentrations. |
A stand-alone Division of Graduate Studies will be created. | A stand-alone Division of Graduate Education was created and will soon have its own building. |
Necessary property will be acquired. | Building purchased in Rolla, Mo., due to generosity of donor Jim D. Morris. Planning for remodeling is underway. |
Space planning, acquisition and construction will be coordinated with and account for actual and planned staff and faculty growth. | Federal Hall renovated and occupied by Online Campus and Nursing Department in August 2011. |
The website will be improved. | Rebranding of the website incorporating the new logo completed in September. |
Online content will be enhanced. | A media production lab is now available in Federal Hall for enriching media content creation. |
A cross-venue brand that represents the institution’s mission and values will be developed and nurtured. | The re-discovered Columbia College brand was launched in September and will be fully implemented over the next two fiscal years. |
Student services will be integrated across all venues. |
