Take the Strategic Plan Survey

The college is currently in the process of updating its strategic goals. When developing a strategic plan, organizations generally undertake an activity to identify important aspects related to both their internal and external environments.

The college needs assistance in this important piece of the planning process, and is asking that you take the following survey, which is based on developing a better understanding of JJC's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT).

The deadline to complete the survey is Jan. 14 at 4 p.m. A raffle will be drawn on Jan. 18 including all that participated in the online survey and the SWOT PPD session that was held on Jan. 5.

Take the survey
