Survey:  ACC\u2019s New College Values<\/strong>

We previously asked faculty to fill out a survey on the new college values. Since then, we have had more discussions with the Chancellor and we have developed a new short survey for both full-time and adjunct faculty. The values will be integrated into job descriptions, processes, and our evaluations of each other. The college will go into depth on both the Theory of Change and Values at the collegewide Data Summit on Wednesday, March 27. 

The Chancellor introduced the new values at his town hall talk<\/a> on January 19th (begins at 28:11) and had a more concrete discussion of these with the Board of Trustees at the February 12 special session<\/a> (begins at 10:18).  

As this process is a collegewide effort, we need to include everyone\u2019s voice.  We are extending the deadline of the survey<\/a>  to Friday, April 12 by 5pm, but if you can do it before the Data Summit, that would be great.
