Cañada College Strategic Planning Process

Community colleges have come to represent our country's most powerful avenue for providing access to economic opportunity. By strengthening these critical institutions our system of democracy benefits now and for future generations. The leadership of all community colleges faces the obligation to create a comprehensive strategic planning process that is inclusive and responds to the short-term and long-term needs of their communities. Such a process must result in a plan that embraces and musters all resources available to ensure the success of student learning. On this Web page, you'll be able to access important background material as it is developed for this process, links to other Web sites containing valuable information and reports, and a discussion tool for you to become involved in helping Cañada with your feedback. Please check back often since this site will be updated frequently.
