Chapter 2 Institutional Excellence and Effectiveness Johnson County Community College has been described as the “crown jewel” of Johnson County for the quality of its educational programming, its responsiveness to the community and its impact on the entire metropolitan area. The Vision, Mission and Values of Johnson County Community College Vision JCCC will enhance its leadership role among community colleges in the United States. The college will continue to enrich the quality of life for those it serves through creative solutions to educational, economic and community challenges. Mission Learning comes first at JCCC. The college • delivers lifelong educational programs and services that are convenient and accessible • provides professional training opportunities • provides opportunities for personal growth and cultural enrichment • maintains a caring, supportive environment • stimulates economic development • is accountable to its stakeholders 8
Values As an institution of higher education, Johnson County Community College supports a statement of values identified by the Carnegie Commission as applicable and enduring for all communities of learning. More specifically, we believe that Johnson County Community College should be: • a place where all faculty, students and staff share goals and work together to strengthen teaching and learning; • a place where freedom of expression and civility are practiced, encouraged and protected among all groups; • a place where every person is respected and where diversity is pursued; • a place where individuals accept their obligations to the group and where welldefined governance processes guide behavior for the good of the institution; • a place where the wellbeing of each member is supported and where service to others, internally and externally, is encouraged; • a place whose ideas and resources are shared with other members of the educational community — locally, regionally, nationally and internationally; and • a place in which the institution’s rituals affirming both tradition and change are shared and where the accomplishments of its staff and students are recognized. We believe in the dignity and worth of each individual and the fundamental right of each person to realize his or her fullest potential; therefore: • JCCC programs and services should be affordable and accessible to all who can benefit from them; • programs and services need to be comprehensive in order to meet the diverse lifelong educational needs of the community; and • high quality should be the hallmark of all programs and services and should not be compromised by growth or reduction. We believe that the college is held in trust for the people of Johnson County; therefore: • the college assets are a community investment and accountability and responsibility must be exercised in fiscal management and in maintaining those assets for future generations; • the college must exercise prudence in the management of the nonmonetary assets entrusted to it, seeking maximum return on the community’s investment of time, trust and intellectual capital; • the college should assure quality, continuous improvement, currency and the achievement of defined purposes and outcomes through continuous assessment of all programs and services; • the student learning goals established by the college instructional programs should be continuously refined and measured; • the college should assure that students achieve the learning outcomes established by its instructional programs; and • JCCC should provide leadership in making Johnson County a better place to live and work. “It is my firm belief that most citizens, business leaders and visitors consider Johnson County Community College to be the jewel of Overland Park. Its commitment to educational excellence is well known in this community, and the ever increasing course offerings and enrollment have come to be greatly appreciated by residents. But more than that, from the Carlsen Center and Yardley Hall to its top notch music programs, permanent art collection and now the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, JCCC has become the hub of cultural activity, as well as education, in the county and beyond.” – Carl Gerlach, Mayor, City of Overland Park 9
