Community invited to participate in KCKCC strategic plan development

Kansas City Kansas Community College is holding a series of public forums over the next few months as the college begins its development process for the next Strategic Plan.

The plan development will be led by a steering committee and shape KCKCC’s priorities through 2027.

To make the plan effective, it needs the involvement of faculty, staff, students and alumni as well as community members, according to a college spokesman.

Throughout the 2022-2023 academic year, the college will seek input through a series of forums that will be held at each of the college’s locations – the KCKCC Main Campus at 7250 State Ave., KCKCC-TEC at 6565 State Ave. and the Pioneer Career Center in Leavenworth.

Sessions will also be held virtually.

Topics that will be covered during these sessions include developing KCKCC value statements, reviewing and updating goals and measures and creating the initiatives necessary to make the plan successful.
