Who We Are & Who We Serve
Who We Are
The College history defines the College from the perspective of organization and assets; however, the personnel who operate within the college systems and manage those assets are the primary element for successful education. 海角视频 believes all employees, regardless of their job description, are part of each student鈥檚 education. Administrative, community outreach, student service, and physical plant personnel all support the student learning process. Our instructors are primary points of contact with the 海角视频 educational experience. These educators are generally organized into four divisions: Allied Health; Applied Science & Technology; Community & Corporate Education; Liberal Arts; and Math & Sciences. Whether in a supporting role or as a direct point of contact, each college employee draws upon professional expertise and academic accomplishment to promote the success of every student.
Who We Serve
Student-centered colleges are best defined by who they serve. An understanding of the distinctiveness of our College鈥檚 student population allows us to effectively meet the goals of our programs and succeed in our mission.
Diversity of Culture
Traditionally, 海角视频 can be characterized as serving a relatively homogenous, rural, small-town culture. This population鈥檚 cultural distinctiveness is centered on age and socioeconomic status more than diverse ethnic origin. As global connectivity broadens, so too do 海角视频鈥檚 program offerings. We continue to serve groups with diverse characteristics, such as:
- Age
- Disability
- Gender
- National origin
- Race/ethnicity
- Religion
- Socioeconomic status
- Special populations
Diversity of Purpose
海角视频 provides general, transfer, and career technical education to both traditional and non-traditional students through the use of reciprocal agreements; regional, state, and national education programs; dual-credit high school classes; and the endorsement of international students to help broaden our base. 海角视频 offers skill and trade opportunities for students seeking employment and economic mobility. Additionally, 海角视频 provides professional and personal fulfillment as well as growth through community and corporate education classes.
Often, an individual鈥檚 purpose for engaging with the college is a combination of factors such as:
- Discovery/Curiosity
- Educational Requirements
- Enrichment / Hobby
- Healthy lifestyle
- Life-long learning
- New/Enhanced skills
- Retraining
Definition of Equity
Equity is the guarantee of fair treatment, access, opportunity and advancement for all students, faculty, and staff, while at the same time striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation of some groups.
Common Outcome
Regardless of the diverse cultural backgrounds, purposes or origins of our constituents, 海角视频 serves each individual equally with an open admission policy and an opportunity for success. Furthermore, 海角视频 is united by the shared commitment of students, faculty, staff, and community to meet its institutional, educational, and program objectives.
