MSVCC Annual Report 2018

COMMITTEES The consortium serves as an infrastructure for collaboration to strategically address needs that are shared across the system. While the colleges are technically considered competitors, within the consortium, all have agreed to align their interests and resources to collectively create a broadly usable solution. The alignment of interests is achieved by having strategic initiatives, decided upon and carried out by committee members comprised of community college personnel. These committees serve as incubators of innovation for Mississippi’s community colleges. Their collective efforts are focused on four strategic initiatives: Success, Quality, Support, and Growth.
