Central Lakes College Announces New Mission, Vision and Values

It was nine months of discussion and brainstorming sessions through a committee made up of faculty, students and staff before the new statements were released. Central Lakes College is going through a strategic planning process and decided to re-evaluate the current mission of “We build futures.”

Those three words remain the same with just a few changes in the description. These include:

• provide life-long learning opportunities in Liberal Arts, Technical Education and Customized Training programs
• create opportunities for cultural enrichment, civic responsibility and community engagement
• nurture the development and success of diverse student body through a respectful and supportive environment

The new values decided upon include excellence, innovation, inclusion and community.

The new vision statement reads: “Central Lakes College advances innovation, inspires learning, and transforms lives.”

CLC President Hara Charlier is excited to get these new goals into practice at the college.
