If you drop by our office (Room 125 in the Dorms) you will find that the Associated Student Body (ASB) is a vital organization made up entirely of students like you. We have a vision of a diverse, sustainable campus with a thriving culture, where students can find all the resources they need to succeed. In pursuit of that vision we sit on all campus committees, organize and sponsor events, oversee clubs, attend state-wide events, work to improve student success, and much, much more! Do you want to see what clubs are available to join? Do you want to learn about, or participate in shared governance? Do you want to start a club of your own? It’s easy, and we will show you how. The ASB is students helping students, so if you would be interested in joining our team to work on any of the many different projects we have going, start your own, or just give your input, you would be more than welcome. Have a great year. www.lassencollege.edu Lassen Community College 2018-2019 Page 1 Lassen Community College District Strategic Plan Recommendation for revisions by Consultation Council – July 7, 2017 Reaffirmed by Board of Trustees – August 8, 2017 Vision Be a catalyst influencing the region’s positive image, economy and human capital College Values by fostering a “we can” culture of collective impact by being: • The Academic Leader by ensuring quality instruction and encouraging Student Success – We value: student success • Students reaching their goals • The Educational Leader by expanding outreach and student access • Students being prepared for transfer to • A Trusted Steward by providing capable leadership and accountability four-year institutions • Career and Technical students being • The Economic and Workforce Development Leader for the community prepared for the job market • The Cultural Leader in the community • The Civic and Social Leader in the community Educational Excellence – We value: • A highly efficient self-sustaining rural community college • High quality educational delivery Mission • Highly qualified instructors • High quality technology and materials Lassen Community College provides outstanding programs for all pursuing higher • Well-equipped classrooms education goals.
