Imagine a college where everyone is welcomed and appreciated, where our differences are valued and respected, and where all of our students (and employees) feel that they belong. ACC strives to be such a place. Data shows that when our students feel a strong sense of connection and community, they excel. This strategy supports the pillar for Belonging and Connection.
Key Activities
- Describe behaviors that demonstrate our values.
- Create an upward evaluation system.
- Design a plan to deliver supervisor training and leadership development across the college.
- Determine ways to create campus community for employees.
Current Work Stage
The design phase for the Demonstrated Practices of Caring from Employees Design Team is now complete, and their solutioning recommendations are beginning to be actualized.
