On behalf of Shoreline Community College,
I would like to present the College's 2007
Strategic Plan.
This plan, the result of internal
self-assessment and long discussion,
reflects the College's core values for
student success and academic excellence.
These values are the foundation that sets
the College's direction for the coming
years.
The Strategic Plan is comprised of eight
critical themes, all of which are important
to the future of the institution. Our goal
is to ensure that higher education is
accessible, affordable, and relevant to our
students as we attempt to increase the
numbers of students who engage in learning
at the College. We know that our programs
transform lives and create opportunities
that allow our students to go on to better
their earnings potential and their
individual lifestyles. These students
contribute positively to the welfare of our
global society and to the economic
well-being of the state of Washington.
Shoreline Community College is ready to
meet the challenges of our changing economy
and is deeply committed to satisfying the
educational needs of our students.
