President Message
Western Wyoming Community College’s Strategic Plan is the culmination of a comprehensive process which began in 2019 and took a hiatus due to the worldwide pandemic and State of Wyoming economic downturn. Feedback was solicited from a wide variety of stakeholders throughout our service area, relevant survey data was collected and analyzed, and assessment of critical initiatives and performance outcomes were performed.
I am pleased to share the new Strategic Plan for Western, that provides the framework for goals to create a thriving campus community. This plan presents our shared vision for the next five
years. It serves as an important guide to help the College succeed in the face of challenges, find opportunities to strengthen institutional capacity, and support innovation. It is grounded in our commitment to help students turn their passion into purpose and transition our learners into leaders with true Western grit.
We envision an institution that leverages and scales resources to address challenges. Western strives to be an engine of innovation and an educational solution guaranteeing student access to affordable, high-quality higher education. The Strategic Plan focuses on performance outcomes and service to our students, while cultivating a collaborative institutional culture that embraces accountability, continuous improvement, and pride for our College and our work. By operating under our six guiding principles, Western will meet its newly-defined strategic priorities.
Special thanks go to our Strategic Planning Committee, a team who worked tirelessly to get this right. Members include:
- Mark Rembacz - Associate Vice President for Institutional Effectiveness, Chair
- Cammie Pollastro - Assessment Coordinator, Co-Chair
- Luke Audette - Math Faculty
- Deanne Garner - Nursing Faculty, Senate President
- Derek Robinson - Director of Information Technology
- Kimberly Greene - Accounts Receivable Technician, Paraprofessional Alliance
- Kristy Kauppi - Human Resources Office Assistant, Paraprofessional Alliance
As we uphold our institutional values when working toward our strategic priorities, we will create the synergy needed to meet our mission, vision, goals, and objectives, and ensure Western remains a high-performing, thriving institution for our students, faculty, staff, communities, and State. Please join me in my excitement in unveiling the future of Western Wyoming Community College.
- Dr. Kim Dale, President of Western Wyoming Community College
