All-College Colloquium August 22, 2012

Addressing Current Opportunities and Challenges and Preparing for Future Success

Local, State, and National Trends Impacting HCC

Challenges

County, state, and federal funds for higher education are declining

Program completion standards and expectations continue to rise as do the number of proposals related to performance-based funding models

Valuable educational technology tools are making higher education more costly and more complicated

Increased pressure to prove that college programs lead to gainful employment

College tuition and fee levels are growing at a fast rate

The national and world economic downturn is having more people question the value of a “traditional” college education. Much more focus on education for employment

2

Opportunities

People need higher education credentials more than ever before to succeed in the new century economy

Community colleges are receiving more and more respect and praise from business and government leaders as well as the general public

More and more grant-funding sources are highly encouraging community college proposals

Highly productive and innovative colleges receive the scarce resources

Locally, the Washington County Region needs to transform its economic realities to succeed and the education level of the local populace is the central requirement for this to happen
