Abstract | In response to unprecedented reductions in budget and personnel and changes in technology, Piedmont Virginia Community College (PVCC) developed this agenda for change to update its strategic plan to position the college for the 21st century. First, an overview is provided of PVCC's restructuring effort, highlighting causes and four planning assumptions. Next, activities taken from 1989-94 to restructure the college are summarized, including 6 actions taken in 1991-92. that saved the college $439,162. Next, assumptions and defining principles of PVCC's core mission are identified, indicating that it consists of two areas, preparation for college transfer and workforce development. This section also indicates that preparation for college transfer focuses on bachelor degree bound students and is tailored to the primary four-year institutions to which they transfer, while workforce development focuses upon the needs of individual workers and area employers. The next section addresses general areas of concern not specified in the mission core, including the mission statement, development education, student advising, information technology, community service, personal growth, career planning and placement, faculty workload, reconceptualizing physical space, partnerships, and effects on funding and organization. An appendix provides the college's restructuring focus for 1995-96, providing further updates to the areas of preparation for college transfer and workforce development. (KP) |
