Transforming BHCC 2010-2013 - Bunker Hill Community College
Bunker Hill Community College 2010-2013 College Goals and Objectives Bunker Hill Community College 2010-2013 From the President I am pleased to announce seven new goals that will guide Bunker Hill Community College for the next three years. The goals emerged from the College’s long-range planning event in January 2010, when almost 100 business and civic leaders joined another 200 faculty, staff, students, alumni, College Trustees and Foundation Board members to discuss major issues facing Greater Boston and the College’s role to address them. The goals detailed in this report strengthen Bunker Hill Community College’s commitment to creating pathways and partnerships to promote student success and demonstrating strength through diversity. New goals emphasize sustainability initiatives, technology and new academic programs to close workforce gaps. Moreover, new goals focus on using data to drive decision-making and promote accountability as well as focusing on health, wellness and lifelong learning. I am profoundly grateful to everyone who made this year’s planning process such a tremendous success. I especially want to thank discussion leader Beverly Edgehill, president and CEO of The Partnership, and panelists Gary L. Gottlieb, president and CEO of Partners HealthCare System, Inc.; Shirley Singleton, chairman, president and CEO of Edgewater Technology, Inc.; Richard Taylor, chairman of Taylor Smith Reality, Inc.; and Stephen R. Woods, president of Citizens Bank, Massachusetts, who launched the meeting with their thoughtprovoking discussions of Boston’s critical workforce needs. I also express appreciation to Jeanne-Marie Boylan, chair of BHCC’s Board of Trustees, who served as discussant with me at the planning event, and to all of our Trustees, who approved the goals contained in this report in April 2010. Additionally, I am grateful to the College’s Long-range Planning Committee under the leadership of Professor Bryan D. Craven, chair of BHCC’s Computer Media Technology Department, and to all members of the College community as well as alumni and BHCC Foundation Board members for their enthusiastic participation. Mary L. Fifield, Ph.D. August 2010 “Bunker Hill Community College is a pathway to success for our young people. When you consider the doors that are open to the many talented students at BHCC, you can see the opportunity that awaits our next generation of leaders. These are exciting times for BHCC, for current and future students. The world stands at your doorstep filled with dreams to explore and the chance to challenge yourselves to be the best that you can be.” —Gary L. Gottlieb, President and CEO, Partners HealthCare System, Inc. Clockwise from upper left: Jeanne-Marie Boylan, chair of the Bunker Hill Community College Board of Trustees; Gary L.

Introduction Every three years, Bunker Hill Community College invites key members of Greater Boston’s business and civic leadership to join the College community to discuss important issues affecting Greater Boston and to consider ways in which the College can help address these issues. From this discussion comes a specific set of goals which are approved by the College’s Board of Trustees and subsequently guide the development of new initiatives at the institution. Faculty and staff submit action plans, accompanied by budgets, to accomplish the goals. The College administration reviews the dozens of proposals that are submitted and selects those plans that most closely align with the new goals. The action plans then become components of the next fiscal year’s budget. This inclusive planning process, unique to Bunker Hill Community College, ensures that College goals are aligned with the needs of Greater Boston while drawing on the experience and expertise of the College’s faculty and staff to translate broadly conceived goals into action plans and thus into the everyday life of the College. This cyclical planning process produces the goals that drive the institution and dictates how resources are best invested to benefit the almost 12,000 students who bring their dreams and expectations for a high-quality education through our doors. • Create consistent outcome measures for each academic program. • Incorporate outcomes and assessment results into all curricular development activities. • Establish procedures to link assessment of academic and non-academic programs to strategic goals. • Build faculty and staff skills in data interpretation and analysis. • Institutionalize College-wide outcomes and assessment reporting as a measure of institutional effectiveness.

Meeting throughout the afternoon in groups of eight to ten, participants developed priorities and posted them on boards in the front of the ballroom. A vote was taken to develop a consensus. Following the session, the results were shared with the entire College community, which had the opportunity to contribute further suggestions. The outcome of this planning process is the set of goals and objectives described in this publication. They will guide Bunker Hill Community College for the next three years.
