Preliminary reading of the comments provided suggested that the committee needs to revisit both the Vision and Mission statement. The statements are too long, lack passion and need to be more inspirational. The core values identified generally met with the college community's approval, however, they too, need to be reworked.
The subcommittee identified the following revised mission statements that were submitted, for further evaluation.
#1 CCRI’s mission is to provide accessible, affordable educational opportunities that encourage excellence and assist individuals to become successful students, citizens and contributing members in a diverse society.
#2 CCRI’s mission is to provide accessible, affordable educational opportunities that encourages student success, promotes continuing education, develops informed citizens, cultivates community involvement, embraces diversity, contributes to economic development and encourages the pursuit of excellence.
#3 CCRI’s mission is to provide accessible, affordable educational opportunities that promotes student success, develops informed citizens, cultivates community service, embraces diversity, contributes to economic development and encourages the pursuit of excellence.
The following vision statement, also submitted, was discussed and reviewed.
CCRI’s vision is to become a community of learners that empowers individuals to realize their personal goals and potential.
Core value statements were quickly reviewed to shorten them.
