Planning committee prepares new mission statement

A campus planning committee began the preliminary work to decide what key words they would like to see appear in a new mission statement, as well as reevaluating the vision and values of the college.

Long Range Planning & Visioning Committee, LRPV, plans to update and shorten NIC’s statement into something easier for students and faculty to remember and dwell upon.

“We want to create standards, which are descriptions of behaviors expected of everyone in the organization,” said Jay Lee, LRVP member and NIC vice president for instruction.“I can walk into an organization and tell in five minutes what their culture is like, whether they have standards, and whether they adhere to values.”

All members appeared to agree that sustainability, flexibility, student success and quality education are some of the ideas they might use as a jumping point for their decision.
