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.

One of the ways community college students find help to succeed is through the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation’s Community College Transfer Initiative. It provides more than a thousand exceptional low- to moderate-income community-college students across the country with the opportunity to attend the nation’s most selective four-year institutions. The program partners with eight highly-selective colleges and universities, as well as dozens of community colleges across the country.http://www.jkcf.org/grants/community-college-transfer/
