Mission and Values
 Mission
The philosophy of Lake Michigan College, an institution of higher
education, is founded on the belief that education is for all
who wish to develop their potential. It is fundamental that a
community college assist in meeting the educational, career, cultural,
wellness and recreational needs of the community it serves. This
involves a five-fold obligation:
-
to provide for the educational aspirations, needs and learning
expectations of the individual and the community;
-
to provide for the occupational needs and desires of the
learner and the community;
-
to provide for the cultural interests and the wellness and
recreational needs of the individual, and thus contribute
to the development of effective citizens;
-
to provide an assurance of quality in programs and in people;
-
to develop an international perspective that prepares students,
and develop employees and community members for a world economy
and global citizenship.
Values

as the mission itself. Fundamental to success for the College
are certain basic values:
-
Excellence
Every College program and service must be of the highest quality.
-
Student-Centered/Customer-Focused

-
Responsive

Diversity
The College should strive to create a diverse community that
represents all segments of society, including women, ethnic
-minorities and people with disabilities, in its student body,
faculty and staff.

as colleagues, including recognition of faculty and staff
for exceptional performance, open and honest communication,
shared planning, participative management, encouragement of
responsible and creative risk-taking, and provisions for professional
development. This atmosphere must extend to students and the
community.
