Linkages with community agencies and groups will be actively sought

out, in order to increasingly place the resources of the college at the
disposal of the community in the community, rather than in the college
facilities. In so doing, the college will actively market its physical
resources, and especially its human resources, to the community.

In the light of continuing financial pressures, and the need to modify
our activities, increasing emphasis will be placed on evaluation of
college programs, activities and personnel. This will result in
increased amounts of money and time being spent on evaluation processes.
These amounts of money will be made available - if necessary, at the
expense of other activities.

Research work carried out in aid of our 5 Year Strategic Plan, indicates
a marked ignorance of our economic, social, political, and even
geographic environment. Much more research will be done in these areas.
To the maximum degree possible, college students, faculty and staff

will be used in carrying out this research, because it is inherently

a broadening and strengthening activity in its own right. If necessary,
research will also be contracted externally, in order to ensure that
college proposals and plans are well buttressed by a rational assessment
of community need and reality.

In the process of carrying out these activities, the college will continue
to exemplify open communication, consultative relationships, and respect
for the expertise of the faculty, students, and staff of the college.
