Vision
As the City College of San Francisco moves into
the twenty-first century, our foremost vision is that we will continue to value and
foster superior levels of educational participation and academic success among our
students. Through the outreach to and inclusion of all populations, the provision
of an unparalleled learning experience for students, and the enhancement of a supporting
and caring environment that sustains and leads them to the successful completion of
their educational goals, we are motivated by a compelling and authentic vision.
A Teaching and Learning Community
Above all else, we aspire to be a teaching and
learning community whose principal distinction is the quality of instruction delivered
by departments with strong reputations in their fields. The quality of success in
learning will permeate all levels of the educational experience, from basic skills
to advanced honors courses, from vocational/technical to the academic courses, from
citizenship preparation and adult retraining to university transfer courses. The breadth
of superior learning opportunities extends to a vast array of courses and programs
sufficient to offer any student a pathway to educational and career success.
A Service Community
We will continue to reach out to all neighborhoods,
ethnic populations, and economic segments of our service area; develop campuses and
sites to better serve geopgraphic areas of the city; diversify and improve programs
and services for the benefit of the community; build partnerships with public, private,
and community-based agencies to better respond to educational, economic and societal
needs; and foster informed participation of our students and employees in community
life.
A Diverse and Caring Community
We seek to build an inclusive community, where
respect and trust are common virtues, and where all people are enriched by diversity
and multi-cultural understanding; a responsive environment in which student needs
are met in a friendly, caring, and timely manner; and a working environment for all
faculty, staff and administrators in which everyone is valued and the climate is supportive,
positive, and productive.
A Contributing Community
In the larger realms of the state, the nation and
the world, we hope to share our educational resources and contribute knowledge, expertise,
and innovation as a post secondary institution of higher education, as memebers of
the community colleges of the state of California and throughout the country, as colleagues
in our various fields, trades, and professions, and as educators committed to lifelong
educational opportunities for all.
