variety of campus and community constituencies into the decision making
process.

Challenges
- Although
the College has developed retention strategies, work still needs to be
done to increase the percentage of students moving from their first to
second year.
- Although
some initial planning has occurred, the College must rapidly increase
annual fund contributions and implement the next major capital campaign.
- The
College must improve accounting record keeping and internal control
systems to ensure that financial statements are fairly stated and have
predictive value.
- The
College must develop a strategic planning process to identify academic priorities
and the resources required to implement and sustain quality four-year
programs.
- In
conjunction with the next comprehensive evaluation, the College needs to
develop assessment plans for its degree programs and general education.
