Institutional Effectiveness (1.3/7.2)

1. Establish a time line for institutional goals

One of the functions of the Imperial Valley College Planning and Budget Committee is to coordinate and integrate College plans with the budget process. Philosophically, the committee recognized that the vision and mission statements of the College should drive the planning process, but that such broad overarching statements must be focused into a set of institutional goals before annual planning timelines can be established.

Imperial Valley College is an integral part of the public school system of California and functions as a public community college for lower-division college work. It had its beginning on May 9, 1922, when the Board of Trustees of the Central Union High School District of El Centro passed a resolution establishing the Central Junior College.

This institution formally opened for instruction in September 1922. Two years later, in the fall of 1924, the Brawley Union High School District opened classes at the Brawley Junior College.
