During this year as we’re going through budget cuts we thought it would be good for the committee to create a converging document. One of the key initiatives is increase complete. How we’re aligning strategic initiatives with mandated requirements. She discussed State of the Valley’s website which provides data on [fill in]. Aligning the programs we offer to the areas of growth. She also talked about housing and commuting. Public transportation is down so it’s not much of an option for students in our area. Highlighted poverty. Just racked up a survey which is one of the surveys they've had the highest response rate about food, transportation and poverty. They will be able to compare it to other community colleges to see where we rank.

Marisa wanted to highlight the growth in the online area

Lorrie said online is about 18% of our enrollment. Looking more strategically about how it affects enrollment and how we can have courses fit in to allow students to complete certificates online

Mallory said the group drafted a vision statement. Mallory said they have value statements drafted and they are on the web. Collected information around the mission statement for words that people think about when people think about De Anza. Strategic initiatives, value statement and reaffirmation of mission statement will go to college council.
