Self Study Goals

A Steering Committee was formed in Fall 2004, and recently adopted the theme, John A. Logan . . . Learning for Life. The theme speaks not only to our college's commitment to provide learning opportunities for traditional, non-traditional and seniors, but also to the college's commitment to those skills, attitudes and knowledge essential for our graduates to be engaged and informed citizens, prepared for whatever challenges they face in the future.

Self-Study Mission Statement:

"John A. Logan College's self-study will provide direction for the future of the college and its student and employee communities. We will conduct an authentic study that accurately reflects our strengths and challenges. We will ensure that the results are sustained long after the team visit. The entire campus will be engaged in this process, and we will all celebrate in and learn from the results."

Self-Study Goals:

Reflect the college's mission and planning process and provide a clear direction for the future of the college (for example, Strategic Planning, Technology Master Plan, Facilities Master Plan).
Improve the collection, analysis, and use of data in college decision-making.
Make assessment part of the college culture.
Support efforts to revise and improve general education.
Engage the college in substantive discussion about the process and results of the self-study.
Identify those programs and services in which the College can take great pride and will identify challenges for the future.
Define and articulate the ways in which the college can institutionalize processes to be a learning-centered institution.
