1 Planning Principles

MCC’s Facilities Long-Range Plan was developed to guide institutional decisions to ensure that MCC’s mission and planning are operationalized and effectively resourced.

This section of the Facilities Long-Range Plan highlights the planning principles that grounded the planning process to help MCC successfully meet existing and future challenges, leverage strengths to pursue new opportunities, and focus energies on achieving student success.

MCC was created in 1974 when the Nebraska Legislature consolidated eight technical community college areas into six. At the same time, the Legislature assigned role and mission priorities for all community colleges in the state.

In accordance with state statute, MCC must be a student-centered, open access institution primarily devoted to quality instruction and public service providing student services to promote the success of a diverse student population.
