Commission
plans meeting
New presidents starts at BM C C
With a new president at the head
of the table, the Blue Mountain
Community College Board of
Directors started a new era for the
college as their regular August
board meeting got underway.
And the new president, Dr. Nicki
Harrington, has been busy. "I’m
working to balance my time in
three areas-leaming the internal
workings
of
the
college,
introducing myself to key players
and organizations within the
college district and interacting
with appropriate groups outside
the college district,"
said
Harrington.
Harrington's interactions with
staff and community have led her
to an initial assessment of BMCC
as well-grounded. "Our budget is
in good shape and the basic
college structure, it's foundation,
is very strong," said Harrington.
"However, the college does have
areas that need work. Again
looking at this as an initial
assessment, I feel we have four
main areas to address-personnel,
staff development, long range
planning,
and
external
partnerships."
One of Harrington's major
moves, according to a BMCC
news release, is toward planning
and development. A three-day in-
service and strategic planning
session is planned for October.
A goal setting session for the
president, with input from the
board will take place this fall, and
the concept of developing a
master facilities plan for off-
campus
Centers
is being
discussed.
