Our Mission
At Front Range
Community College, we
enrich lives through learning.
Download Phase I of our Strategic Plan.
Our Vision
Our vision is that all students at Front Range Community College will accomplish their educational and career goals. We will be recognized for our singular focus on student success, our exceptional teaching, our strong commitment to diverse learners and communities, and our effective business and community partnerships.
Our Strategic Priorities
Student Success
FRCC supports and improves student persistence and
completion through instructional excellence, exceptional student support
services, and a commitment to the understanding that learning happens
everywhere. Faculty, instructors, and staff are well-versed in the
scholarship of teaching and learning as it relates to their area of
expertise, and receive meaningful professional development and training
to enhance their respective practices and support innovation. We improve
student success with careful assessment and measurement and a
commitment to using data to make effective decisions.
Opportunities for Diverse Learners and Communities
Our
student body reflects the diversity of our communities because we
create learning environments that welcome diversity in all its forms and
actively engage the growing minority communities in our service area.
All students benefit from our college services, which are welcoming,
easy to navigate, and focused on the learning, growth, and development
of the whole student.
Strong Partnerships
We are the
first-choice educational partner for industry, K-12 education, and
community organizations. Local businesses value us for our high-quality
instructional services that respond to immediate and long-term industry
needs. We work closely with our business and community partners to
educate and train highly qualified employees, develop a strong regional
workforce, and identify opportunities for appropriate and responsible
program development; consequently, the state of Colorado views us as a
vital component of building a robust workforce.
Culture of Collaboration, Innovation, and Pride
We
recognize that the success of this plan rests on the success of our
employees and their ability to be responsive, dynamic, and creative. We
are committed to a culture that supports innovation, creativity,
collaboration, healthy work-life balance, and excellence in all that we
do. We support and encourage additional staff training and
professional development. We invest appropriately in additional staff
whenever possible and necessary to provide quality service to students
and work-life balance for our employees.
Resource Development and Sustainability
We
are mindful of the importance of holding our institution in trust for
future generations. To that end, we invest in safe, appealing facilities
that meet student and staff needs and are viable in the long-term on
all campuses. We also continue to be committed to fiscal responsibility
and efficiency in all operations. With state funding uncertain, we
invest in successful grant development and fundraising to broaden our
funding sources.
