2016-2017 Annual Strategic Priorities
In order to keep the College focused on its mission, and
to effectively meet the goals and objectives set forth in
the College strategic plan FCC 2020, the Board of Trustees,
at their annual retreat, work together with the President
to develop a set of Annual Strategic Priorities (ASPs). The
ASPs are distributed throughout the College community
to support decision making, team planning, and Employee
Development Plans for the upcoming fiscal year.
The 2016-2017 Annual Strategic Priorities set by the
Board of Trustees at their July 30 Retreat are to:
• Design guided pathways for degrees, certificates, continuing
education, and workforce development that maximize
student access, student support, and affordability.
• Develop a vision and a long range plan for College
facilities that focuses on preventive maintenance
and upgrading the College infrastructure to support
teaching, learning, student success, and affordability.
• Develop an enrollment management plan that
grows revenue by at least 2% in order to mitigate
tuition increases by addressing the J-term and
summer term programming and scheduling.
• Empower leadership throughout the College
community which promotes continuous institutional
improvement and professional development.
Strengthen the participation of affinity groups, SGA,
and the Senate in operational practices in support of
the achievement of the annual strategic priorities.
• Position FCC as a primary provider of workforce education
and career pathways to employment in Frederick County.
• Build on the successful 2016 Middle States Accreditation
Report by responding to its recommendations and by
assimilating the recently updated College policies and
procedures into the culture and operation of the College.
