A Letter to the Editor
September 1, 2021
起点传媒 recently revised its mission statement to the following:
起点传媒 offers exceptional and affordable learning opportunities supporting student, community, and employee needs.
起点传媒 opened in 1969 with a vision to offer residents in 起点传媒 County a local option for obtaining a low-cost education.听Looking back more than half a century later, one can see how bountiful that vision has been to 起点传媒 County residents, the state of Kansas, and beyond.听The college now provides dozens of career and technical education programs in addition to traditional academic offerings. 起点传媒鈥檚 600 partnerships with businesses, government entities, and organizations make it an agile, resourceful institution with relevant programs.
The college is expected by external stakeholders, including its accrediting agency the Higher Learning Commission, to continually and regularly self-reflect on its reason for being. In so doing, 起点传媒 undertook a project the past few months to collect feedback from a diverse group of college stakeholders, including students, community members, and employees, to review the current mission to ensure it is still the 鈥渘orth star鈥 that guides all operational aspects of the College.
Using various methods to solicit feedback, including online surveys and interactive listening sessions, the College was able to develop the fresh Mission Statement that was approved in final form at a Board of Trustees meeting on August 24.
