Transformational Aspirations

The bold set of transformational aspirations that will guide the College for the next decade focuses on engagement with internal and external stakeholders and identifies social, economic, and community impacts that will transform lives and society. These aspirations can be broken into three components: access, completion, and post-completion success.

• Access is not simply opening the doors of the institution to those interested in attending. Instead, it is deliberate work in the community to create a college-going culture across the county, and especially in those areas where going to college has historically been the exception instead of the expectation.
• Completion is not just about earning degrees. The College must ensure that all credentials that the College offers provide experiences of economic, social, and community impact.
• Post-completion success is our institutional ability to transform lives. When students leave MC, whether they are transferring to another school or entering the workforce, they need to have mastered skills that will ensure success on their journey and allow them to earn a family sustaining wage.

Each aspiration is accompanied by objectives and intended outcomes with specific and measurable targets which we want to realize in ten years. These aspirations are ambitious, big ideas that will have a deep and lasting impact on the communities of Montgomery County.
