ACTION PLAN IN PROCESS<\/h2>\n

Over the past five months, President’s Council, Planning & Budget Council and the Leadership Group with the help of the Office of Research, Planning & Effectiveness (ORPE), have been working hard to implement the work of the Alignment of Planning Action Project team. This work began in August 2011 with the Grasp the Situation work, moved into the development of Strategic Outcomes and Strategic Goals, and lead to eight Board approved Strategic Goals for FY’12 and FY’13 at the November Board meeting. We now have a Strategic Plan that moves us further along in our ability to take action on our Strategic Directions and Institutional Effectiveness Criteria.<\/p>\n

On December 9, the Leadership Group engaged in a work session whereby we turned from strategic to operational planning. Department leads will be engaging their teams in the process of developing Operational Plan A3’s for 2012-13. These plans will be due January 30, 2012. Additional materials on the planning process, including templates and key strategy documents, are available on the new ORPE intranet site and can be accessed at:\u00a0intranet.nmc.edu\/depts\/orpe\/planning\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ll be checking and adjusting the process as we go: If you have feedback or input at any time, please feel free to send your thoughts to Karen Ruedinger at\u00a0kruedinger@nmc.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ACCREDITATION VISIT UPDATE<\/h2>\n

In preparation for our January 25-27 visit by a Higher Learning Commission (HLC) review team, we were required to submit two pre-work documents titled the Federal Compliance Report and the Quality Program Summary. These were released on December 14. You can access the documents on the IR website located here:\u00a0www.nmc.edu\/ir\/accreditation\/index.html<\/a>\u00a0under the Check Up Visit by HLC portion of the table.<\/p>\n

The public comment period continues to run through December 25, 2011. Additional information about the process for commenting about NMC directly to the HLC is available on the website located here:\u00a0www.nmc.edu\/news\/<\/a>\u00a0(see blue panel on the right).<\/p>\n
