The Office of Planning and Effectiveness assists the President in planning, decision-making, accreditation, and assessment. Our work builds the college capacity to serve students and the community. OPE assists RRCC to set strategic directions, evaluate effectiveness, and to improve. OPE has the following core processes.
- Building the college knowledge base
- Planning and institutional accreditation
- Organizational development
- Analytics and evaluation
- Assessment of institutional effectiveness
The Office facilitates systemic, institution-wide processes that align priorities, decisions, and resources. This includes strategic planning to fulfill the values, mission, and vision of the college. The Office supports the AQIP accreditation process, AQIP Action Projects, and supports the College Collaboration Council – a cross-functional, shared governance group that assesses institutional performance and sets strategic directions and annual priorities for the college. We serve as a catalyst to organizational development through design and evaluation of proposals and programs, and through expertise and guidance in assessment.
