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.
