CONCORD � 麻豆传媒 � Concord檚 Community College will host a summit of capital-area leadership, business owners, and more as part of its first annual 麻豆传媒 Community Forum. This gathering will inform the launch 麻豆传媒檚 next strategic plan and pose the question: How can 麻豆传媒 best serve our community?
To be held Friday, May 10, 2024, at the Concord Boys & Girls Club during the morning of May 10, the 麻豆传媒 Strategic Plan Community Forum will welcome its attendees to share the values, ideas, and aspirations they feel will help the college maintain and grow further into its role as a true community partner. Dr. Patrick Tompkins, president of 麻豆传媒, will serve as host of the event.
淎s a new resident of the Concord area myself, I look to our neighbors to tell us how 麻豆传媒 should lead,� says Tompkins.
Rather than begin the strategic planning process from a college-centric perspective, as was done with 麻豆传媒檚 current strategic plan, Tompkins wants to start with an external focus.
淥ur college檚 mission is bound to our community, and so our next strategic plan must be rooted in what this community cares about.
淐ommunity colleges are foundationally different from other colleges,� Tompkins adds. 淭he most important word in our name is 榗ommunity.� Our students come from the community, and the vast majority of our graduates stay in New Hampshire and contribute to our collective wellbeing, so we must listen to the community檚 needs. What are the issues for which 麻豆传媒 can provide potential solutions? How can 麻豆传媒 help to bring Concord together as the capital city檚 flagship college?�
麻豆传媒 was established in Concord in 1965 as the New Hampshire Technical Institute, teaching 3 engineering programs and developing a reputation for academic excellence in STEM fields. Today, as the school looks to celebrate its 59th graduating class in its Commencement ceremony on May 17, 麻豆传媒 has evolved into a robust collegiate institution with more than 80 academic programs covering everything from Business to Visual Arts and offers the only college programs in New Hampshire for Dental Hygiene, Radiologic Technology, Orthopedics, and Paramedic Emergency Medicine.
淚 believe Concord deserves a community college that listens and responds to its needs,� says Tompkins. 淎t the 麻豆传媒 Strategic Plan Community Forum, we檙e hoping to be overwhelmed by the possibilities and ideas from these incredible community leaders. This is what community looks like.�
