According to John Rice, the Mission Statement has been subject to scrutiny and dialog with various campus groups during the last two years. The Ad Hoc Committee approved the draft being presented for approval by the Faculty Senate. Dr. Rice is careful to point out the following: The new document is not so much a change in 鶹ӰԺ's Mission as a change in wording. Items in the mission statement must be actionable (are we actually doing this, and if not, how can wefulfill this commitment?) and referential (when we make a decision or implement a program or policy,is itgrounded in the college mission?). Approving the mission statement constitutes signing on to the commitments it sets forth. Further, as pointed out by Dr. Margaret Puccinelli, independently accredited programs (like Nursing) must justify to their accreditation boards that program missions correspond to the college mission as a whole. Other programs may also be affected. MISSION Treating everyone we encounter with dignity and respect, 鶹ӰԺ provides superior, student-centered, post-secondary education in rural Nevada. 鶹ӰԺ is committed to: Effectively addressing the ever-evolving and often disparate needs of our students -- career seeking/enhancing, degree seeking, and casual -- by means of innovative practices and technologies, resourcefulness, insight, and foresight. Continually seeking improved methods and technologies for delivering education at a distance, across our rural 60,000 square mile service area. Promoting the mutual enrichment, ongoing development, and collegiality of our faculty, staff, and administration toward the pursuit of excellence, while maintaining the personal, accessible presence of a real community college. Attuning with and anticipating the needs of business, industry, and government entities in our service area and tailoring our academic programs to serve them well both now and in the future by matriculating students who are competent and confident, able and willing to enter the workforce, step up in the workforce, or pursue a higher degree. Celebrating the rich and unique history of our region and its indigenous peoples while also cultivating appreciation of the diversity among us, in the region and the world, during the present day, so that that after they complete their time with us, our students are prepared to actively participate as members of the global community. Fostering awareness of our physical, natural environment for the benefit, enrichment, and edification of future generations. Offering cultural enrichment opportunities -- performances, lectures, concerts, exhibits, and the like -- for communities in our service area. Making responsible, resourceful, and worthwhile use of our funding and honoring the objectives and intentions of its sources.      鶹ӰԺ Ad Hoc Task Force on Enrollments Mission Project, Page 1 of  NUMPAGES 2 Comments to Susanna Dorr  HYPERLINK "mailto:gbcweb@gbcnv.edu" gbcweb@gbcnv.edu  .  679N~  klvwǼǼǼǼǴςtbtb#jhuCJOJQJU^JaJhuCJOJQJ^JaJ.jhuCJOJQJU^JaJmHnHujhuUmHnHuhFKyjhFKyUhI`CJaJhyUh0)mCJaJh0)mCJaJhuhI`hI`hI`CJOJQJaJ"hI`hI`5CJOJQJ\aJhuCJaJ&/1   f [ U V { e0 & Fdhxx7$8$H$ & F 9^9gdI`gdI` dh7$8$H$   Pz{$a$$a$ & Fdhxx7$8$H$wxyz{ȾȃwhuCJaJhFKyjhuUmHnHuhu0JOJQJ^JaJ!jhuOJQJU^JjhuOJQJU^JhuOJQJ^JhuhuCJOJQJ^JaJ#jhuCJOJQJU^JaJ%hAzCJOJQJ^JaJmHnHu0&P1h/ =!"#$% DyK gbcweb@gbcnv.eduyK 0mailto:gbcweb@gbcnv.edu@@@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH \@\ Heading 2$<@& 56CJOJQJ\]^JaJDA@D Default Paragraph FontViV  Table Normal :V 44 la (k(No List B^@B Normal (Web)dd[$\$.X@.
