in activities to discover and reinforce

personal strengths, build effective

teams, serve the community at large,

and discover the principles and

CONNECT THE INITIATIVES

WE ALREADY HAVE AND

SEE AND EXPERIENCE

THEM AS ONE.

STRENGTHEN THE

CONNECTIONS WE

ALREADY HAVE

BRING MEANING TO THE

WORK THAT WAS DONE

LAST YEAR.

TAKE TIME TO BE

PURPOSEFUL.

TO IMPLEMENT.

Connection is correlated with

leadership, engagement,

achievement and relationship. When

we connect with each other, with our

culture, and our students we

succeed. When we are connected –

we are fully present in the

present. When we connect, we

learn. When we connect, our

students have a greater opportunity

to learn.

HOW?

http://lonestar.edu/cote.htm

Provide opportunities

for various

components of the

college to connect with

leadership and each

other in purposeful

discussion of College

initiatives.

Form core groups of

College faculty and staff

who have studied

institutional vision and are

committed to sharing with

colleagues.

Encourage

achievement

and

collaboration.

Offer technology-

related and

discipline-specific

training

opportunities as

applicable and

needed for all

employees.

So….let’s not

just tell time,

let’s build a

clock.
