Communities' voice guides
future plans of district'- T WHAT MIGHT be the most critical
time in the 19-year history of the
North Harris Montgomery Commu-
nity College District, the district is enlisting
the voice of the communities it serves in
preparing a five-year master plan.
NHMCCD recently hosted advisory com-
mittee meetings to give key members of the
community an opportunity to talk directly
Maxw, brings news of
quality education to public
Maxim is derived from the Latin word magnus,
which means great. The intent of this publication
is to inform the community-at-large of all the
great things going on at North Harris Montgom-
ery Community College District - Great, fully
accredited, outstanding colleges. Great, talented,
scholarly faculty. Great, ambitious, knowledge-
thirsty students. Great, challenging, innovative
programs.
NHMCCD is a college district committed to
being the best of the best - to taking quality
education to the max!Chancellor John Pickelman, left, and Board President Diana Morales Taylor review the
agenda for the community advisory meeting with civic leader Cooper Slay.with members of the Board of Trustees and
representative administrators, faculty and
staff of the district's four colleges - North
Harris, Kingwood, Tomball and Montgom-
ery.
The district, which has grown every year
of its existence, is facing a variety of chal-
lenges relevant to growth. Seventeen-hun-
dred additional students enrolled in the fall
semester, bringing the total enrollment to
nearly 19,000.
"We're growing by leaps and bounds,"
said NHMCCD Chancellor Dr. John
Pickelman. "We cannot accommodate this
rate of growth without increasing resources."
"For example, we have over 400 people
on the nursing program waiting list. Do we
forge ahead or do we cap (some programs)?
Our need for insightful planning is acute
and community leaders play an invaluable
role in this effort."
The discussions of the colleges' advisory
committees, made up of representatives of
local school districts, businesses, chambers
of commerce, service organizations, com-
munity leaders and agencies, centered
around three questions:
Whom should the colleges serve?
What programs, services and facilities
should be provided?
What resources need to be developed
to achieve the colleges' goals?
Each college president will provide a sum-
mary of the committees' comments in a
report to be presented to the NHMCCD
Board of Trustees at its January meeting.
Those reports, along with the recommenda-
tions of faculty, students and staff, will be
incorporated into NHMCCD's master plan.
Said Dr. Bonnie Longnion, assistant to
the chancellor: "The plan will provide a
framework for the development of strategic
plans that will address programs, resources,
equipment, personnel, facilities and services
needed to attain our goals." *A
