CLC Connection: We need your input – shaping our future together

By Cheryl Norman, Ed.D., Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs

At Central Lakes College, we are committed to building futures, and we believe that this is best achieved when we work together. Every five years, we undertake a New Program Initiative to identify programs that meet the evolving needs of our workforce. This initiative is not just about us; it’s about you, our communities, our aspirations, and the future we collectively envision.

CLC’s objective is clear: to respond to the changing needs of our community and establish a pipeline of programs to be introduced over the next five years, equipping students for the workforce.

Our mission, “We Build Futures,” is not just a slogan; it’s a commitment. Together, we can shape the future of our community and create opportunities for all. We invite your feedback on Liberal Arts programs that smoothly transition into four-year degrees, including fields such as the Arts, Humanities, Communication, Business, Natural and Social Sciences. Additionally, we’re eager to hear your perspectives on technical programs such as Agriculture, Business, IT, Public Safety, Transportation, and Healthcare. Have other ideas and suggestions? We’re all ears.

Please take a moment to complete our survey and share any ideas or suggestions you may have for new program development. Your feedback is invaluable as we explore new programs. The deadline for completing the survey is March 25. Find the survey here: https://tinyurl.com/CLC-NewPrograms

Thank you for your input.
