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.

The Role and Identity of Community Colleges

What is a community college?  What was and is its mission?  Will its mission change in the near future?  How does a community college differ from a four year institution of higher learning?  How do you see your role as someone who works at a community college?

If any or all of these questions are of interest to you check out the February 14th choice  in the link below called "Walker Says Obama `Punted' Budget; Snyder on Education"  The segment with Tom Snyder, President of Ivy Tech Community College, discusses the dynamic and challenging role of community colleges in our country today.  It is about halfway through pocast.
