Academic Senate Agenda—May 10, 2016—Attachment L
Resolution presented by the Steering Committee for consideration and disposition by the
Academic Senate on the approval of the Queensborough Community College Mission Statement
Whereas, it has been over ten years since the implementation of the College's mission plan, and
whereas, periodic assessment of the College’s mission and goals is an essential component of
institutional development and improvement, and
whereas, the Special Committee For Mission Review has completed its work,
be it resolved, the Queensborough Community College Academic Senate approves the new 2016
Mission Statement as stated below:
Queensborough Community College is dedicated to academic excellence and rigor, and to
providing an affordable high quality education to college, pre-college and lifelong learners. Our
faculty and staff are committed to the holistic development of today’s students in a nurturing and
diverse environment that prepares them to be successful in a dynamic workforce. The College
affirms its open admissions policy, and its strong support of intellectual inquiry, global
awareness, civic responsibility, as well as cultural and artistic appreciation.
Rationale: The official mission statement is an integral and essential component of Queensborough
Community College, and it is necessary that it periodically be reviewed and, if necessary, updated.
