LCSC Word Mark

Nancy Jasper, Diane Driskell, Lynn Mathers and students from the Printing Technology Program presented graphic variations of the proposed mark. The proposed word mark is similar to the word mark that has been utilized by the NAIA World Series the past two years. Consensus of the President's Council was to adopt the proposed word mark. President Thomas directed Jody Oftelie to follow-up with recommendations regarding guidelines for implementation and consistency of usage, and the need for a graphics standard committee.

New Web Page

Karla McCann, LCSC Web Master, presented the format of the new web page. The new web page will be on-line Monday, September 15. The prime objectives addressed in building the new web site are:

Target information to market LC appropriate audiences.
Develop a new web presence for the college, including specified colors, design and style guidelines and hierarchy for pages.
Create design templates that will be usable and adaptable for departments, programs and other constituents of the college.
Improve navigation and efficiency throughout the site.
Construct a site that is easily updated and accommodates future LCSC identifiers and design criteria.

President Thomas asked the President's Council to explore the new web page over the next two weeks and note of any recommendations for modification. Karla McCann will join the President's Council in two weeks for follow-up discussion.

Strategic Planning Committees

President Thomas described the next-step in the strategic planning process and announced the formation of five strategic planning committees: Academic, Professional-Technical, Community College Function, Administrative Services and Student Affairs, and a Reorganization Task Force. The Council discussed the process and charge to the committees.
