FROM MHCC 2010

TO

Possibilities 2009-2012


“First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.” Napoleon Hill (1883-1970)

As we have listened to our campus and community members, a recurring theme in the many focus groups, listening tours, and personal discussions that form the basis for our strategic planning, has been the concept of “transformation”. Consider briefly the transformation of society since 1999 when Mt. Hood Community College first conceived its ten-year plan. Today’s environment does not invite long term plans. In order to maintain agility and flexibility to adjust to business and industry demands and changing needs of our community, the college is developing strategies for near term timeframes, a three- year perspective. There will be no one moment in time at which the college is “transformed.” Rather, we are building a culture of transformation and refinement, one of continuous improvement that fundamentally addresses the needs of our students and our communities.
