St. Charles Community College Annual Report

St. Charles Community College

Annual Report

EAch AcAdEmic yEAr is distinct and in

2012-13, St. Charles Community College made

its mark by walking through new doors.

Faculty and staff built the foundation for a

long-range plan that will result in action plans

based in new strategic directions and a mean-

ingful revision to the college’s mission, vision

and values.

A unique collaborative agreement with

Lindenwood University means that students

will now have access to a state-of-the-art vir-

tual hospital at a new location for the college’s

nursing and allied health programs in Fall 2013.

Teamwork was key in meeting enrollment

challenges – utilizing new ways of reach-

ing out to current and prospective students

about the value of their community college.

High-quality workforce training, personal

development classes and student support

Ron Chesbrough, Ph.D. SCC President

remained a hallmark of SCC’s services to the

community. One example came in the form

of an augmented learning environment to

better serve our returning servicemen and

women and their families.

Looking at our processes and practices from

a new perspective has been embraced by the

campus community, and our students and

visitors are the benefactors. Our collective

successes – those of faculty, staff and students

– were recognized when the St. Louis Post-

Dispatch named SCC as a 2013 Top Workplace.

I look forward to another year of opening

doors for our students and the region.

St. Charles Community College is accredited by The

Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Associa-tion of Colleges and Schools.

in thE midst of its 25th AnnivErsAry, SCC experienced a leadership transition and

faced a changing external environment –

making it the right time to look ahead and

College-wide planning efforts in Fall 2012

set the groundwork for the Long-Range

Planning Steering Committee, charged with

creating a plan to position SCC for the next

25 years.

The committee revisited the college’s

mission, vision and values and developed

strategic directions and objectives to move

the college forward with purpose. Within

work groups came discussion. Then, a plan.

The formula for long-range planning was

constructed in 2012-13, but the answers

to the blueprint will be presented in the

coming year and beyond as groups submit

their action plans and faculty and staff go

about the business of working them – with

SCC’s mission, vision and values as their

foundation.
