MJC will develop and assess Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) used for student learning improvement, at the course, program, and institutional levels. 4. Leadership responsible for governance at MJC will create a climate that empowers all MJC employees to be engaged in the campus community and that encourages respect, trust, and integrity through open communication and professional development. 5. MJC will collaboratively develop a staffing plan that includes realistic outcomes of program review for both instructional and student services programs, including attention to potential growth areas, program decline, and impending retirements. 6. MJC will expand and enhance outreach to business, industry, and the community based on identified needs and opportunities. 7. MJC will create a culture of evidence and measurable improvements. 8. MJC will expand and enhance the learning environment and delivery options for students. 9. MJC will develop a plan to increase student engagement in order to improve overall student success. 10.
