Our Strategic Plan Creation Process

Carroll Community College is launching a strategic planning initiative to chart our course for the
next four years. Spearheaded by Dr. Rose Mince, Dr. Michelle Kloss, Gregg Bricca, Rob Brown,
Jean Marriott and the Strategic Planning Steering Committee (SPSC), this pivotal process
involves a diverse group of stakeholders from both within our institution and the broader
community.

Through a series of purposeful activities—including surveys, open forums and focus groups—
we aim to gather essential insights from all sectors, ensuring our strategic plan is both
comprehensive and representative of our collective vision.
