Introduction
The Rancho Santiago Community College District (RSCCD) has embarked on an ambitious, six-month project to streamline and enhance integrated planning across RSCCD, its District Services and Operations, and its two colleges, Santa Ana College and Santiago Canyon College. The District has engaged the services of the Collaborative Brain Trust (CBT) to provide facilitation and technical support services for the project. The outcome of the project will be the production of four new fully aligned planning documents that will provide a blueprint for action for RSCCD over the next four to eight years in serving students and communities of the RSCCD Orange County region and beyond. The four plans are:
Additionally, refined plans for facilities, technology, sustainability, and marketing will align with these four plans for a fully integrated, contemporary, post-pandemic approach to envision a robust future for the District. With renewed vision, hope, and direction, RSCCD is experiencing enrollment growth, providing increased access to higher education to both traditional and non-traditional students, and strengthening educational, governmental, business, and industry partnerships in this post-COVID era for both economic prosperity and enhanced quality of life for the region.
