As we reflect on Citrus College’s proud history as the oldest community college in Los Angeles County and the fifth oldest community college in the state, we are reminded that the college will soon celebrate the centennial of its founding in 1915. The Educational and Facilities Master Plan 2011-2020 will provide a roadmap that will lead the college into the next century of its historic journey. The Educational and Facilities Master Plan 2011-2020 was developed through a highly collaborative and interactive process and is an important component of the college’s integrated planning model. Stakeholders in the future of the college, including faculty and staff, students, career and technical program advisory councils, and college advisory groups participated in the process. Their vision for Citrus College’s future focused on the areas of student access, student success, innovation, institutional capacity and reputation. The plan is integrated with the college’s Strategic Plan 2011-2016 and responds to the focus areas identified in the Strategic Plan. 4 2011 Educational and Facilities Master Plan // Citrus College The development of the Educational and Facilities Master Plan 2011-2020 began with a thorough environmental scan and an examination of data on enrollment trends and student performance. The work was guided by a knowledgeable team of experts who provided direction in the development of the plan. To meet the many challenges of the 21st century, Citrus College will provide instruction that keeps pace with the evolving needs of the students we serve. It is our goal to enable students to learn and acquire the skills to successfully compete in their communities and across the globe. The Educational and Facilities Master Plan 2011-2020 will position the college for success and further its reputation for academic excellence and community service as it guides the collective efforts of the college community for the next decade. I would like to commend all who contributed to this important document for their expertise, commitment to excellence and dedication. Yours truly, Geraldine M.
