P«QS12 McHENRY PLAINDEALER SactlonA Wednesday, July 31,1985 Community MCC cites need for planning "We are moving into an era where making effective use of our resources is going to demand more than ever that we make sound decisions," says John Adelmann, of Woodstock, newly-appointed Dean of In- struction at McHenry County College. "That means gathering as much solid, factual data as possible, analyzing it and developing plans based on that information. We call it strategic planning and we are doing it aggressively at the College." He continues, "MCC's for­ mative years.are drawing to a close. We are now moving into a more stab le more mature period. We are focusing our efforts internally, examining our programs to make certain they maintain relevancy, that they are up-to-date, that they meet today's community needs. We are continually refining courses and introducing new methodologies to make sure we stay in touch. What it really boils down to is making certain that we continue to provide challenging, high quality in­ struction to our students." How do you circumvent tight budgets and still keep program quality up? He responds, "We are taking a close look at what our past priorities have been in terms of utilizing available resources. Priorities shift over the years. For example, when we find that earlier needs have already been satisfied, we can begin to think in terms of redirecting resources to meet new, emerging, student and community needs." Adelmann explains with an example of how strategic planning was used at MCC in putting together this summer's class schedule. He says, "The chairpersons of the academic divisions at the College analyzed past experiences, studied enrollment trends and reviewed summer student demographics inorder to help them make schedule-planning decisions. The result has been a more responsive and cost effective summer program. Efforts like that enable, us to redirect available funds to meet other important goals, like purchasing additional microcomputers for next year." He reports that the College is taking steps Jo extend the availability of microcomputers to instructional areas that have not had ready access to them in the past'. Demonstrations, simulations and hands-on problem solving are to be in­ corporated into curricula beyond traditional business and date processing areas, including art, agriculture, mathematics, music, economics, automotive, biology, chemistry, hor­ ticulture, foreign languages and machanical technology. Careful planning , according to Adelmann, is essential as the College moves to become more state of the art in its support of the instructional program. Initial plans for microcomputer expansion include the development of two satellite microcomputer labs, one in each of the classroom buildings located on the College campus. Looking ahead, Adelmann envisions the College further adapting its scheduled course offerings to better account for the increasing demands on people's time. New approaches and teaching methodologies, including telecourses, are being implemented in a variety of areas to allow for more ac­ cessibility and flexibility in the learning process. Already underway, according to Adelmann, are plans to in­ troduce an Open Studio Time option within the College's Art Program this fall. Similarly, flexible scheduling for selected foreign language courses will also begin in the fall. He believes changes such as these are indicative of the College's commitment to serving both day and evening students at times that are convenient to them. - "We are also exploring the feasibility of developing fe Weekend College Program at MCC," adds Adelmann. "We suspect that many potential students cannot come over here for a 16-week course; they may, however, be able to set aside the time for a coi NIMC offers CPR aid Northern Illinois Medical Center offers this food for though about cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR.

"To sum up, " concludes Adelmann, "I think one of the greatest challenges we face at MCC is to get the message through to our public that it has available at a reasonable cost high quality educational of­ ferings, right in its own backyard. To date, the faculty has served in excess of 60,000 area residents in our short history. That says a great deal to me about the impact we have had. More importantly, it indicates that McHenry County College holds a great deal of promise for tomorrow's students. We must do a better job of not just providing high quality education, but of making sure that the residents of our district, young and old alike, have a clearer understanding, a better awareness of what we have available to them.
