Size of the campus community is somewhat related to the continuing need to meet the educational demands of the university's service region. Growth is also related to the changing demographics of the populations seeking additional educational opportunities. Changing characteristics of the campus community provide the university with opportunities to create a diverse environment where members can learn in both new and traditional ways and can share in the lives of persons from other cultures, have differing points of view, and have differing backgrounds and lifestyles. The university's goal is to create a dynamic campus community, which is able to adjust to changing size and demographic conditions. Improving Communication and Information Flow, A communication system that is accessible to each member of the campus community and open to two-way communication is essential for the university to work efficiently and effectively.
Communication is part of the university's technical infrastructure and the campus culture.
The backbone of any successful communication system is an accurate and reliable method of delivering information from one point to another. Generation, distribution, and use of information, participation in the discussion of critical campus issues, and involvement in decision-making processes are key components of campus communication. Communication does not stop at the campus boundaries. The University's goal is to insure that campus members can obtain the information they need to satisfactorily perform their activities and transmit information both to the campus and the greater world community.
