College Planning Council

A College Planning Council (CPC) appointed by President Muriel A. Howard is guiding the planning and implementation of the strategic plan. The CPC includes faculty, staff, student, and administrative representatives. It was charged with drafting key elements of the plan-strategic directions, initiatives, and action steps-and ways to evaluate successful implementation.

All faculty, staff, and administrative CPC members agreed to serve renewable five-year terms on the council. Student members remain on the council through their graduation.
