Consistent with the philosophy held by the College in accordance with the charge given it by the State of Iowa as an institution of higher education and in concert with other agencies:
Kirkwood Community College identifies community needs; provides accessible, quality education and training; and promotes opportunities for lifelong learning.
To accomplish this mission we are committed to creating an environment in which we constantly strive for improvement.
The purpose of any strategic planning process is to evaluate the organization and provide direction for its future.
As chairman of the Kirkwood Board of Trustees, I lead a group who care deeply about this college. We are dedicated to serving the community around us in many ways. Our unique visions, perspectives, and experiences help us do so with integrity in the best interests of the overall college.
The board is charged with setting Kirkwood policy and ensuring the effectiveness of the institution by monitoring and evaluating strategic initiatives and the financial direction of the college. The average length of service on our Board of Trustees is just over 10 years.
I invite you to learn more about college initiatives by attending future meetings or reviewing minutes.
