In the midst of celebrating its 100th anniversary, Paris Junior College is asking the community to help determine the College’s direction over the next 10 years. The first step is a community survey, which will be followed by listening sessions in the community in early 2025.
“We are excited for the future of the college and we need your help with our strategic planning,” said Dr. Stephen Benson, PJC president. “That plan will set the goals and vision for the future of the college and what that will look like in 10 years.”
The survey seeks to learn more about what the community things of programs that should be offered, facilities needed to house those programs, and services that students need. Responses will feed into a larger strategic plan that includes facility planning, instructional planning, and finances needed to implement it.
Input is sought from all service area communities in Delta, Hopkins, Hunt, Lamar, and Red River counties, and the Fannindel and Honey Grove school districts in Fannin County.
The survey is available online at https://www.parisjc.edu/strategic-plan-survey.html. It takes only a few minutes to complete and responses are confidential. The survey will closed on January 10, 2025.
“Since arriving at Paris Junior College,” said Benson. “I have used the phrase ‘Together We Can’ and have explained that for us to continue and build on the success of PJC it will take all of us… that includes sharing your honest thoughts and opinions.”
