Northwest State Community College (NSCC) developed this Strategic Plan through a comprehensive, disciplined, and thoughtful planning process built on the foundation of past success. It will serve to guide the future direction of the institution. NSCC, as a statefunded institution, recognizes the responsibility to prioritize the needs of our students, faculty, staff, and citizens of our six-county service district. As the economy becomes more advanced and globally connected, students and employees must be prepared to live and work in this ever-changing environment. Students and employees must also be culturally responsive and affirm diversity, acquire and apply the knowledge to support innovative technologies and pursue lifelong learning. As NSCC expects students to be able to adapt to evolving circumstances and work environments, embrace learning, and seek continuous improvement, NSCC also must model this as an institution. Through a collective willingness to learn, grow, and adapt, the College will ensure success in the years ahead. Approved by the Board of Trustees, NSCC’s Strategic Plan outlines the goals for the next three years. This comprehensive publication sets the agenda as the College provides access to excellent and affordable education, training, and services that will improve the lives of individuals and strengthen the communities of Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Paulding, Van Wert, Williams and beyond.
