Text Box: Annual Implementation Here we are again, seasons change, world events occur and Cuyamaca College marches on in pursuit of its established goals and objectives. It is always rewarding to take the time to savor past accomplishments. The Annual Implementation Plan (AIP) has once again proven to be the process by which Cuyamaca College plots its progress.

This past year, the Innovation and Planning Council (IPC) has done just that—tracked the college’s progress. A new user-friendly format for the plan was developed, making it easier to read and to note the progress of the 20 activities outlined for the 2004-05 academic year. So exactly what was accomplished?

Philosophy:  Leadership through vision is the foundation for the planning and policy-making process at Cuyamaca College.  The college engages all its members to ensure broad-based participation in campus decision-making.  This process assures that the college remains dynamic, futuristic and effective in meeting the educational needs of its community.

 

Overview of the Process:  The Innovation and Planning Council is the recognized shared governance structure for the college.  The Council will evolve, amend and guide the planning and policy-making process for the college.

 

The college’s planning process provides a focus to mobilize and allocate its human, fiscal, technical and physical resources.  The college’s initiatives, both long-term and short-term, are defined, implemented, continuously reviewed, assessed, and updated to respond to the ever-changing needs of the student population and the demands of the external and internal environments.  A three-year planning cycle is used to implement the Cuyamaca College Strategic Plan and the District Strategic Plan.  An annual Implementation Plan is developed by the Council using the Strategic Plan.

 

The college’s policy-making process provides a constituency review of all campus policies and committee structures.
