3: Internal Cooperation
Improve Internal Cooperation Other Information:
Strategic Rationale: Institutional effectiveness requires communication and collaboration across not only the academic disciplines
but also among the academic, student services, and administrative services divisions. In this respect the learning enterprise
requires close collaboration and integration of efforts of all divisions of the College (Academic, Student, Continuing Education,
and Administrative Divisions) to engage and empower students and integrate all aspects of their learning experience. Action
Plan NOTE: The following are projects and efforts recommended by the Institutional Effectiveness Committee to accomplish this
initiative. Other projects and efforts will be identified and undertaken by the College’s work groups as part of the Strategic
Planning Process. Charge a Task Force with responsibility to draft a set of "Values and Principles". Use an iterative process
to gather input on the draft and make revisions as appropriate. Gain approval for the final draft through the college’s governance
and administrative structure. Widely disseminate and utilize the "Values and Principles" to improve service to students, service
to internal and external entities, and campus collaboration and communication. Hold at least one all college meeting each
year. Feature examples of service excellence. Respond to areas of concern that are identified in advance and at the meeting.
Create and implement an employee orientation to the "Values and Principles". Provide professional development for career advancement.
Increase accountability for job performance campus-wide. Encourage work groups to identify and implement initiatives that
contribute to the improvement of internal civility, cooperation and collaboration. Where appropriate, recommend new policies
or revisions to existing policies. Regularly gather student input through a variety of methods, including forums and focus
groups.
