• Reviewing and analyzing goals to identify institutional themes to aid the integration of planning and resource allocation efforts

• Recommending improvements to processes to ensure efficacy in fulfilling the college's mission, and that the campus meets accreditation standards

• Communicating trends and findings with the campus community and visiting accreditation teams

• Ensuring adherence to accreditation standards.

Goals

2025-26 Goals:

Goal One: Implement plans to document and assess institutional effectiveness within a framework that centers equity and our HSI designation, with a focus on communication strategies and servingness, by:

• Developing and disseminating communication strategies around governance and decision-making that are culturally responsive and amplify the voices of Latinx and other historically marginalized communities;

• Systematically using relevant data and disaggregated metrics to inform decision-making, identify equity gaps, and demonstrate the college’s ongoing commitment to servingness;

• Evaluating planning and decision-making processes - including regular updates to the governance handbook - to ensure they reflect equity-minded practices and support the college’s evolution as a truly serving institution.

Goal Two: Evaluate action items from KPI review to support institutional goals in the context of our commitment to servingness by:

• Disaggregating data to examine how effectively college efforts are meeting the needs of Latinx and other historically underserved student groups;

• Using findings to inform continuous improvement, ensuring that action steps actively close equity gaps and reflect the college’s identity as a serving institution.

Goal Three: Evolve and align program and institutional planning processes to reflect our HSI designation and commitment to servingness by:

• Leveraging technology and existing systems to improve coordination, transparency, and communication across initiatives;

• Embedding practices that ensure planning efforts are inclusive, student-centered, and aligned with the needs of Latinx and other historically underserved communities.

Goal Four: Finalize and approve Accreditation ISER
