Decisions will be made at the lowest possible level. Staff members will make significant contributions to decision making about their role in the organization and the manner in which the College conducts its business. The new mission will also emphasize the need for staff development and staff diversity. Investment in staff development and training is an investment in more productive and responsive employees who can better serve our students and our community. Ensuring that staff diversity is a continued objective allows us to truly represent our community and enhance the cultural and educational environment and experience for our students.
Additional resources are critical to the maximum success of our mission.
Among the changes in the College s organizational structure is a realignment of the foundation, resource development, marketing, public relations, and other institutional advancement activities. The realignment will more effectively coordinate and boost the various efforts already taking place at the College. In order for our new mission to take shape and succeed, the college community and community at large must buy into it. We must develop highly dynamic strategic planning to carry this off, an effort that will build consensus among students, alumni, faculty, administrators, staff, and the community. With the onset of our new mission, which will not only include traditional functions but will embrace exciting new opportunities, the College constituents will build the strategic plan that will take Hillsborough Community College into the new century.
