Thanks for all the feedback on the blog. There was a very good discussion about the vision at the Brown Bag Lunch today. We decided to extend our feedback period through the first semester (Jan. 29) to allow more people to participate. I wanted to add what was said at the Brown Bag Lunch today. As I summarize, please feel free to add/change or clarify if you were there.

Almost everyone present said the vision statement needs to be short and memorable.

Most agree that the purpose of the vision is not so much to describe what we do but more to state what we want to see in the future.

Ideas for the vision:

Obtain skills that lead to better lives through education

Creating opportunities through education

For those who choose to learn

The affordable choice to learn skills that lead to better lives through careers

Creating affordable career opportunities through education

Advancing opportunities through education

Preparing people for careers through affordable educational opportunities

Where possibilities are endless

other suggestions -
...include the tenants of adult education such as short programs, advancement

...use affordable
