Strategic Plan

Strategic leadership

Everything we do at WCJC—from providing high-quality courses to promoting extracurricular activities—is for the betterment of our students. To help our students navigate their college journey and gain the skills they need to launch fruitful careers, we’ve developed a strategic plan that guides our decisions, actions, and efforts.

WCJC Strategic Plan

The WCJC Strategic Plan (2021-2025) sets the priorities and vision for our campus community, and our annual reports provide an ongoing assessment of our progress toward those goals. 

Vision and Values

WCJC will ensure that our diverse student population receives the highest level of educational opportunities through well-designed transfer and workforce pathways, which allow students to reach their personal goals while shaping the future of the communities we serve.

Core Values:

  • Integrity: We are dedicated to being open, honest and responsible in our actions and words. These tenets provide the foundation for everything we do, as individuals and as a college community.
  • Quality: We strive to provide an environment of educational excellence and rigor. This environment is shaped by the long-term goals of the students and communities we serve.
  • Commitment: We are steadfast in the pursuit of our goals, both for ourselves and for our students.
  • Student-Focused: We value our students beyond all else. We build trusting relationships grounded in fairness, respect, and accountability.

Institutional Goals 

WCJC's Strategic Plan is founded upon four strategic priorities which serve as the basis for all decision-making at the College. These priorities set the groundwork for all initiatives, both in the classroom and across our four campuses.
  • Student Success: WCJC will provide exceptional educational opportunities and support services that foster a culture of holistic student engagement resulting in increased student success.
  • Community Impact: WCJC will rise to the needs of the diverse communities we serve by addressing local needs, cultivating collaborative partnerships and responding to our area’s workforce demands.
  • Resource Optimization and Organizational Stewardship: WCJC will preserve and protect our organizational resources to optimize funding for strategic priorities and maintain fiscal security for the future of the college.
  • Innovation and Institutional Excellence: WCJC will improve our institutional agility and excellence by developing a culture of collaboration, inclusion, and innovation with a focus on the future.

Annual Reports

WCJC publishes an annual report which explores the various actions taken by the institution to accomplish the Vision, Values, and Priorities outlined within our Strategic Plan. This report also provides our annual student success metrics which evaluate our achievements and guide our path forward.
In addition, WCJC reviews data from a myriad of external sources and agencies on an annual basis to help supplement the findings within the Strategic Plan, including:
