The Learning College Project

VISION STATEMENT FOR RICHLAND COLLEGE

Students and community stakeholders choose Richland College

  • for its quality learning environment, affordability, and accessibility;
  • for its individual counseling, advisement, financial aid, and career placement services;
  • and because Richland College responds to the changing learning needs of all segments of its community through continuous improvement, a long-range view of the future, and partnership development.

Richland students and stakeholders discover

  • a dedicated, caring, diverse team of faculty and staff who assess student and community learning needs and who serve, support, and challenge students;
  • efficient, effective, and open college-wide communications with access to the world;
  • dynamic, modern learning technologies, equipment, and facilities that help students extend and expand their learning;
  • visionary, innovative, flexible design and delivery of curricula, programs, and services that coincide with student learning styles and needs;
  • opportunities to learn through volunteer service in the community and a variety of co-curricular programs, student clubs, activities, and organizations; and
  • learning-centered teaching and other processes, participative decision-making, and adaptive organizational structures.

Richland's successful students improve their abilities as:

  • independent thinkers,
  • lifelong learners,
  • responsible citizens,
  • and productive, collaborative workers, family members, and community builders, who seize Richland's robust spirit, building on the past to thrive in the present and to assert themselves into the future for rewarding lives in a diverse, global community.
