Institutional Charge from the President

To fulfill our mission and realize our vision, our compact with our students must be to deliver an education of relevance – to create a community of learners who know how to use, not just amass, knowledge. Key facets of this charge are:

• Curriculum review and program development defined by economic and demographic need.
• A focus on academic integrity, a recognition that communication, computational, technological and analytical skills must inform our curricula.
• Learning that is value-based, keyed to social consciousness, and geared to enable our students to thrive, not just survive, in the world as a global village.
  State-of-the-art equipment, systems and facilities with commensurate faculty and staff expertise.
• The use of technological servants to replace quill pen inefficiencies to work smarter, not harder.
• State-of-the art research marked by currency and relevancy.
• A flexible and integrated menu of credit and non-credit programming offered through alternate delivery systems, e.g., telecredit, distance learning, etc., and keyed to a delivery network that can turn high schools, hospitals, factories and the like into college classrooms.
• A web of relationships marking interdependence with community and government agencies, K-12 and postsecondary institutions, not isolation and independence.
