Introduction

 

Trinidad State Junior College’s strategic planning process has a clear planning cycle focused on growth, collaboration, and continuous improvement.  The process includes College-wide engagement from the faculty and staff; directors, supervisors and Deans; Vice Presidents; a Strategic Planning/Monitoring Committee; the President; President’s Cabinet; and Advisory Council.  To determine strategic planning goals for the College, TSJC uses data from annual program and staff reviews as well as the results from various campus surveys and institutional research. 

 

Our strategic planning and research efforts grow out of our Mission Statement.  Our Vision Statement and Goals, along with objectives for each, support that statement.  These goals are: Student Access, Student Success, Operational Excellence, and Community Relationships.  The Strategic Plan, which consists of one, two, and three year goals, serves as a tool for decision-making and resource allocation. 

 

New to the Strategic Plan this year is a section for “best practices.”  Listed in this section are the on-going processes that maintain the integrity and quality of the College and its programs.  Changes to the Strategic Plan reflect the buy-in of the faculty and staff to further the excellence of the institution.  The Strategic Plan is a working document that will continue to engage the College in a constant pattern of measurement, discovery, discussion, and improvement.
