2019-2020 President's Report

2020 Vision represented a shared vision among the stakeholders of ECCC, a roadmap for the future, and a framework to improve the economic strength of the region. It also reflected the climate of dynamic collaboration, mutual respect, and meaningful conversation present within and outside of the college. 2020 Vision addressed what students and citizens of east central Mississippi identified as requirements from a nationally recognized and locally preferred institution of higher education. Therefore, 2020 Vision assisted the college in prioritizing future strategic initiatives and allocating educational and financial resources that provided an environment in which students were empowered to achieve their highest potential. All future college efforts for the next eight years, whether in the area of instruction, student services, business operations, public information, or facilities, were focused on the five Institutional Commitments and the corresponding action plans and implemented according to the seven Core Values identified by the college. While offering direction for the future, 2020 Vision maintained flexibility to meet the ever-changing needs of the students and communities the college serves while preserving an emphasis on the fundamental priorities identified during the collaborative planning process.
