The Educational Master Plan for the College presents national, state and regional data, and enrollment and occupational trends which demonstrate the necessity for specific initiatives and improvements to the 44-year old College. Key strategies, woven with a continued and enthusiastic mission of success for every student, include the following: • �Increased Access for district and regional residents to take advantage of high quality educational opportunities at MCC, including program growth in healthcare, public safety, emerging technologies and manufacturing. • �Excellence in Teaching and Learning, through a focus on classroom instruction, student success and college-wide partnerships to produce well-equipped graduates and thoughtful citizens. • �Student Success in every pursuit for students, and meaningful opportunities for all who come to McHenry County College. The greatest asset of MCC is also its primary aspiration: the ability meet students “where they are,” and transform their opportunities, their options and their outlook. The foundations of our regional workforce are shifting, and only a change-ready and personalized institution like McHenry County College has the capacity to grow when needed and innovate each term. The Educational Master Plan illustrates how McHenry County College will serve increased numbers of students, the county and regional economy through quality, accessible and affordable postsecondary education. The institution and its leadership are passionate about education. What matters most is the journey each student takes after walking through the doors at MCC, and this plan lays out a meaningful way to improve the lives in and around the county through investment and growth. 1 McHenry County College Educational Master Plan 2011 –2015 Plan Overview � To ensure that educational programming meets the needs of a growing community and its diverse workforce demands, and based on the vision that “McHenry County College will be the leading community college in Illinois by focusing on excellence and student success,” the following Educational Master Plan (“Master Plan” or “plan”) is founded upon the College’s mission: We put the interests of our students and community first. By providing high quality, affordable and accessible learning opportunities, we enable students to meet their educational, career and personal goals. By sharing our knowledge and our resources, we support our community’s educational, social, cultural and economic vitality. � In order to accomplish this mandate, the limited resources of the institution must be directed effectively and thoughtfully. Also, a solid response to the assertion that McHenry County College aspires to be the “leading community college in Illinois” necessitates a well-defined strategy that is change-ready, and has the support of community stakeholders and partners. This plan attempts to fulfill those requirements clearly and pragmatically. The plan will assist MCC leadership as institutional decisions are made in finances, technology implementation and growth. It is by no means a static document of concrete program and student engagement plans. Instead, the aim of the Educational Master Plan is to structure the academic environment to best meet the needs of a dynamic community in concert with McHenry County College’s core principles of quality, accessibility, affordability, innovation and accountability. Quality: To.achieve.excellence.in.teaching,.learning.and.the.services.we.provide.by:.promoting. student.success.through.outstanding.teaching.and.support.services;.attracting.and.retaining.high.quality. employees;.promoting.a.culture.of.personal.and.professional.development.among.employees;.and. providing.up-to-date.facilities.and.equipment.that.meet.student.learning.needs,.support.program.growth. and.promote.employee.effectiveness . Accessibility: To.provide.learning.opportunities.and.support.services.that.meet.the.needs.of.our. diverse.population.by:.providing.opportunities.to.allow.students,.employees.and.the.community.to.engage. at.MCC.inside.and.outside.of.the.classroom;.meeting.student.demand.for.coursework.through.diverse. delivery.modes;.and.providing.smooth.transitions.from.one.learning.stage.to.another . AffordAbility: To.offer.opportunities.to.those.of.all.economic.levels.to.pursue.their.educational.goals. and.personal.enrichment.by:.offsetting.the.financial.burden.on.our.students.by.using.current.resources. efficiently.and.pursuing.alternate.sources.of.revenue;.increasing.financial.aid.resources.available.to.students;. and.strengthening.the.College’s.financial.stability . innovAtion: To.collaborate.with.stakeholders.to.anticipate.their.needs.and.pioneer.creative.and.effective. solutions.by:.valuing,.inspiring.and.cultivating.people,.partnerships,.and.processes.to.embrace.dynamic. growth;.and.creating,.reinventing,.and.promoting.opportunities.to.encourage.a.lifetime.of.learning . AccountAbility: To.promote.a.service-oriented.and.ethical.culture.of.fiscal,.social,.professional.and. individual.responsibility.by:.increasing.transparency.in.institutional.policies,.procedures.and.processes;. improving.internal.controls;.promoting.and.modeling.sustainability.and.environmental.stewardship;.and. creating.measurable.targets.and.evaluation.processes.for.key.strategies.and.objectives . 2 McHenry County College Educational Master Plan 2011 –2015 In Fall 2010, the MCC president incorporated these principles in the following seven objectives on which to focus MCC operations in the next five years: • Ensure facilities meet educational needs • Ensure educational programming is meeting the needs of the community • Ensure appropriate technology is implemented to meet College and student needs • Ensure quality education occurs • Increase the percentage of students who complete a certificate or degree • Establish an organizational structure that meets the future direction of the College • Attract, retain and develop good employees The Educational Master Plan was completed with input from college administrators, faculty and staff, 2009 and 2011 community surveys, and data from state, county and national sources. Additionally, MCC Core Principles, Academic Plan, presidential goals and the Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) Systems Appraisals Report were integrated. This plan is also being developed concurrent with the MCC rebranding effort for 2011-2012. A new College president, a new Board of Trustees and an academic reorganization necessitated a fresh look at the educational environment at MCC beyond 2011, and this framework will set the stage for combining planning with technology advancements, facility plans, budget development and funding allocations. The Master Plan process incorporated the following sources and evaluative work: • Research in trends in postsecondary education, historic student enrollment, strategic plans and current regional economic demands • Assessment of the internal environment, including the current population served by MCC • Examination of the relationship of MCC to the local service area, regional and statewide stakeholders • A survey of faculty, staff and administrators regarding the aspiration to become “the leading community college in Illinois” � • Public surveys and community input • Analysis of courses, programs and services to support the educational mission of MCC • Proposal of future capacities in the next five years Attentive planning for the future of McHenry County College takes into consideration specific issues facing the community, such as employment outlook for the College’s service area and surrounding region. A system will be created that allows College leadership and trustees the ability to measure the success and document the needs of the plans as they move towards implementation. Support from faculty and administrators, staff and educational partners will be an important piece of the design, and all outreach to members of the community and local policy makers will be transparent and responsive. This process will place necessary emphasis on technology to allow the College to provide the most current resources for students—MCC’s most important stakeholders—so they may achieve their goals. Once the future facility and technology needs have been determined, the focus will shift to evaluating various options to finance the additional facilities deemed necessary. 3 McHenry County College Educational Master Plan 2011 –2015 Key Components of the Plan � The aspiration to become the “leading community college in Illinois” requires a dedicated commitment
