Institution

• Mission and Values• Institutional Purpose• Institutional Goals over the next 5 years

(or longer)• Strategic Objectives

4

Why does COD need a Strategic Plan?

With current changes and challenges taking place at COD, we need to determine where we want to be in the future and how best we can obtain and reach our goals within a clear strategic context.

5

Why should you get involved?

Everyone's input is vital to insure that the Strategic Plan appropriately represents all of the

segments of our college community.

6

Who will be involved in the development of the Strategic Plan?

A number of meetings and “Open Forums” have been scheduled (see Future Meetings) where

everyone attending will have an opportunity to contribute. Additionally, specific meetings have

been scheduled with different constituency groups and organizations to gain input.

7

How will the Strategic Plan be developed?

• March—present and solicit feedback from internal College groups (Students, Faculty, Staff, Leadership, and Board of Trustees) through open forums and scheduled meetings

• Late March/April to June—present and solicit feedback from Our Community (Community Groups and Members, Business Partners, City Councils, K-12, Educational Partners, and other external groups)

• Mid April—Based on the input gathered from all of March and beginning of April, a 1st draft will be created

• Mid to End of April—Send out the 1st draft and do another round of open forums for additional edits and feedback

• May—Send out the 2nd draft and we are hoping that we will be very close to having a final draft

• June—Finish gathering the additional input from Our Community and incorporate input

• Last week of August/1st week of September—Resend out the current draft to revisit the work previously done last spring and summer for additional feedback

• September/October—Final draft completed and posted

Questions to Consider

• Based on the data presented and your first-hand knowledge of the District, if the District’s enrollment continues to grow, what areas do you see are best suited for further growth and should be recognized as priorities of the District in the future? Both location wise and programmatically.

• How have the recent changes in legislation impacted the mission of College of the Desert? (Repeatability, student success, financial aid, etc.)

• Distance Education has become more abundant in higher education since the time of the college’s last master plan. Given both the population and student demographics, do you feel placing emphasis on further developing the college’s distance education program is a priority?

• Given your knowledge of the area and the students that district is currently serving, can you identify any opportunities for improving the District’s capture rate?

32

• Given the various campus locations within the District, what potential signature programs could be utilized to anchor each site?

• What initiatives and/or services should be considered that would support student achievement and completion rates?

• Identify potential strategic partnerships that the District could enter into that would serve to strengthen educational programs. (Public/Private)

A link to the Strategic Master Plan Survey will be made available on the COD SMP Portal (see slide 17) beginning March 10th. The survey will remain active through April 30th.
