Environmental Scanning Defined

At Brookdale Community College, environmental scanning is a planned purposeful process to gather and share information within the college community. The external environment, including social, technological, environmental, economic and political factors, is examined to identify trends or events which could have future implications for the college. By understanding these forces of change, effective responses may be developed in order to plan for the future, identify challenges, be aware of opportunities and gain competitive advantage.

College Dropouts Cite Low Money and High Stress

An article in the New York Times reports on a report just released by the Public Agenda, a nonpartisan research group.  Their research indicates that most people leave college because they have trouble going to school while working to support themselves. (Note: The link provided requires Brookdale Community College affiliated authentication for access from off-campus.)
