Northern College Board of Governors Policy A-7 ‘Our Communities’ requires that the President report on a Community Climate survey that is, “administered every year as a means of measuring the College’s commitment and achievements” related to the community engagement indicators listed in the policy.
The engagement indicators are closely aligned with the institutional commitments outlined in our 2020-2024 Strategic Plan. While the survey is usually administered via email, in 2022 the institution re-invigorated community connections by asking the College leadership (all administrators) to have five conversations with local community contacts and record those survey interviews.
