ORGANIZING FOR LEARNING

Compelling Forces

There are compelling forces that suggest that a realignment of the current administrative leadership structure (organizational chart) is appropriate. These factors include:

• The college's reaffirmed commitment to learning as its core value.
  
  
• A newly appointed President and Dean of Instruction.
  
  
• The vacant Dean of Administrative Services position.
  
  
• Capital development (bond) planning that about to begin.
  
  
• The hiring of a new Director of Institutional Planning, Research and Assessment who will support the learning process.
  
  
• The continued emergence of "powerful learning strategies" including the First Year Experience, Learning Communities, Distance Learning, Service Learning, the SUCCEED Program, Co-curricular Student Clubs, and Assessment.
  
  
• The escalating transition of PVCC from the "early growth" of its organizational life-cycle to the "adolescent" stage.
  
  
• The increase in faculty (full-time and adjunct) and staff.
  
  
• Significant enrollment growth that is projected to continue.
