Education Plan 2010-2011

Updates

Education Plan approved by Board of Governors

March 2, 2010

On behalf of the Education Plan Steering Committee, I am pleased to announce that the Education Plan (pdf 1MB) was approved by the Board of Governors at its regular monthly meeting yesterday. The plan paves the way for strategic educational decision-making, continuing to define Camosun College one of Canada’s premier colleges and reinforcing our commitment to offering students an outstanding learning experience.

Thank you to everyone who provided further feedback to the draft Plan this past month. The Writing Team and Steering Committee incorporated many of your ideas. Many other important issues were raised that do not directly relate to the plan but they have been noted. They will be reported separately and sent to the appropriate area for consideration or will be considered in future as we develop the new strategic plan.

The development of the Education Plan was the easy part. The Education Management Team will take the lead as we move into the implementation phase. I encourage each of you to engage in and support the Plan, bringing your creative and innovative energy and ideas to the fore as we embark on this next phase. Progress on the plan will be reported annually. 

I’d especially like to thank the Steering Committee members for their invaluable input and guidance throughout this process.
