Tillamookbay tILLAMOOKLAM BAY Comprehensive Self-Evaluation Report Fall 2013 A Comprehensive Self-Evaluation Report prepared for the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities Dates of Initial Accreditation Visit: October 8-10, 2013 INITIAL ACCREDITATION COMPREHENSIVE SELF-EVALUATION REPORT Tillamook Bay Community College Tillamook, Oregon Prepared for the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities Submitted August 20, 2013 for an Initial Accreditation Evaluation Visit October 8-10, 2013 tILLAMOOKBAY LAMWelcome From President Green On behalf of the Board of Education, the faculty, staff, and students of Tillamook Bay Community College, I would like to welcome you to the North Oregon coast. The College proudly serves this one remote rural county in Oregon. We are the postsecondary education provider to our high schools and adults. Our mission “Tilla- mook Bay Community College provides access to quality education in response to the needs of our community” is lived out every day. Partnership and collaboration are hallmarks of the College and the community. Together, opportunities are cre- ated. The College partners with the three high schools to offer dual credit and career technical programs that are shared through the Tillamook Education Consortium. The College partners with three of the larger manufac- turing industries – Hampton, Simpson and Tillamook Cheese – to offer an Industrial Maintenance Technology program to meet local needs. The College partners with the local hospital, Tillamook Regional Medical Center, to offer eight slots in the Clatsop Community College Nursing Program. These examples reflect the commitment to meet the need in a unique community partnership. Thirty-two years ago, TBCC offered a few community education courses and a few credit courses. It was the beginning. Today, TBCC has grown in numbers of students served, permanent facilities, and the size of faculty staff. The culture of TBCC has grown to become one of planning, data inquiry, and improvement from the stu- dent services processes to the teaching practices in the classroom. Thus there now exists the infrastructure necessary to be a 21st century center of excellence for education in our region. TBCC has a strategic framework, students systems in place for success, and a college infra-structure de- signed to meet the needs and for continuous improvement. The College has dedicated faculty that are commit- ted to teaching and learning. The College community and the community at large are excited that we are now in the final stage of the independent accreditation process. Independent regional accreditation is the next step in the rich history of TBCC that includes successfully serving our communities and partnering with local and state entities to provide the best educational opportunities to our constituents. I want to thank the entire campus community and the community partners who have been involved in this jour- ney. All believed that, even though we are small, we could reach the goal of independent accreditation. Also, I want to thank the Portland Community College team for their guidance and support during this process. The work has not been easy, but TBCC is ready to demonstrate to you that we are truly poised to move forward.
