Mission sets the foundation for all current and future college
functions. Ultimately, accreditation and integrity are about establishing
accountability that we are structured properly and are successfully living
our mission.
Reflections by: Esther Schon
What three things did Esther learn or find interesting?
1. I have never seen the PVCC organizational chart
before and I learned a bit more about the administrative structure of the
college.
2. I found the history of the administrative changes
interesting.
3. Each year, an advertising theme is established.
For 2004-2005, the theme is "Learning/for life. for work. for you."
What are three important Ideas for a first-time visitor
to PVCC?
1. Learning is the core value of the college and serves
as the foundation for all other mission defining documents.
2. The "Planning
Matrix" aligns PVCC Strategic Issues with MCCCD Goals and Strategic Directions.
3. Planning and budgeting processes involve the entire
campus and are specifically designed to reinforce the mission.
Summary
The College, in Criterion One, clarifies its commitment to its constituents
through its mission, demonstrates understanding of the mission, details programs,
policies, and structures set up to support the mission, and verifies that
its policies, procedures and structures are aligned and support the mission.
