VCCS Unveils “Accelerate Opportunity”
Today’s topic is the new VCCS strategic plan: Accelerate Opportunity.
Last week, Chancellor Doré formally launched the new Virginia Community College System strategic plan, Accelerate Opportunity, which has an overarching goal to Award 300,000 cumulative meaningful credentials by 2030 across all regions through accelerated access and success for every student.
The “meaningful credentials” referenced in the goal include all degrees, diplomas, certificates, career studies certificates, FastForward credentials reported within the academic year. I encourage you to review the full Accelerate Opportunity plan before this week’s convocation, which will feature a keynote from Chancellor Doré. You will quickly see that NOVA’s mission, values and Inspiring Excellence strategic plan share much in common with the new VCCS plan and support the vision for One VCCS.
To ensure that our work at NOVA fully aligns with the Accelerate Opportunity metrics and definitions, we are reviewing the Inspiring Excellence metrics and definitions and updating some aspects of our plan. I want you make sure the impact and scale of your outstanding efforts and amazing dedication to student success are fully recognized as the system accelerates toward the 300,000 goal. My remarks at convocation will include updates on our strategic plan, so stay tuned.
I look forward to seeing you Friday!
