Southeast Community College
has a new five-year Strategic Plan, “Paving the Path to Possible” and will
unveil it in different ways over a week-long Strategic Planning Week. President Dr. Paul Illich said the plan has
nine goal areas with 60 objectives to ensure the College makes progress on a
number of key initiatives.
“The week will start with an
overall update of the College’s key initiatives as well as the progress made on
its recently completed 2015-19 Strategic Plan,” Illich said. “Throughout the
week, members of the SCC Administrative Team will discuss the goals and
objectives of the 2020-24 Strategic Plan that are associated with their
respective areas of responsibility.”
Every day during the week of
Oct. 26-30, there will be virtual celebrations during the lunch hour. All
faculty and staff are encouraged to attend one-hour webinars from noon to 1
p.m. each day of the Strategic Planning Week. All sessions will include an
opportunity to ask questions of the speakers.
Goals of the plan include
increasing enrollment, student success, expanding online and hybrid classes,
increasing college amenities and use of technology, stronger employee
recruiting, community partnerships, and more. SCC’s 2015-2019 Strategic Plan
proved to be a success, Illich said, and he wants to continue the momentum.
“Strategic plans are
essential for the operations of a college or university,” he added. “Strong
strategic plans start with a comprehensive data-informed environmental scan of
both internal and external trends. Goals and objectives are then created based
on the findings from these analyses.”
