Collin County Community College District (CCCCD) has a
clearly defined and published mission statement that is
approved by the Board of Trustees, is periodically reviewed
by the Board, and is communicated to all College employees,
students, and community patrons.
The mission statement is published in the CCCCD Catalog
(Reference 1), the CCCCD Faculty Resource
Guide (Reference 2), the CCCCD Procedures
and Guidelines for Faculty and Staff (Reference
3), and on the CCCCD Web site (Reference
4).
The College’s mission statement has undergone five revisions
since the District was formed in 1985. Each change to the
mission statement reflected changes in the scope and operation
of the District as it grew. The original mission statement
was adopted by the Founding Committee in September 1984,
even before the April 6, 1985, referendum passed which officially
formed the District. In December 1985, the mission statement
underwent a minor revision and was adopted by the Board
of Trustees. Prior to opening the District’s second campus
in the fall of 1988, the mission statement was revised based
on recommendations of faculty and staff. The Board of Trustees
adopted the third mission statement in August 1988.
In 1992, the College began an institutional self-study
in preparation for a reaffirmation of accreditation visit
in 1994. Faculty and staff thoroughly reviewed the mission
statement and recommended changes that were adopted by the
Board of Trustees in September 1992.
During fiscal year 2001, at the direction of the CCCCD
Board of Trustees, the President appointed a task force
to ensure that the District’s mission statement reflects
the institution’s current role within its service area and
to ensure that the District’s mission statement complies
with all legal requirements of the State of Texas (Reference
5). The group made recommendations for revising the
District’s mission in early 2001 that were adopted as local
Board policy.
The CCCCD Board of Trustees, at its regular meeting on
May 22, 2001, approved a new mission statement, a philosophy
and purpose statement, and a statement of core institutional
values based on the group’s recommendations (Reference
6).
