“Vision 2020 clearly defines our commitment

can best serve the needs and aspirations of

EMPOWERING EXCELLENCE FOR THE FUTURE THROUGH VISION 2020
In September 2015, Lorain County Community College’s
District Board of Trustees adopted Vision 2020 – a refreshed
strategic plan outlining the College’s mission, values,
priorities and initiatives – which will guide the College
through the year 2020. “Vision 2020 sets the course for the
College looking toward 2020. It builds off of the progress
made to date in fulfilling our current strategic plan, Vision
2.0, while responding to a rapidly changing environment,”
said LCCC President Dr. Roy A. Church.
“As the college’s direct support organization, the work
of the LCCC Foundation directly supports Vision 2020.
As we revisit the Foundation’s goals and activities,
we will use Vision 2020 as our guide in determining
where to prioritize our focus for the coming years.”
–Phil Baptiste,
LCCC Foundation Board Chairman
