  21. Principles in Planning a College for the Community • In a Community College, the campus is the length and breadth of the College district • The community services program should be designed to bring the community to the college and take the program out into the community • The educational program of the Community College should not be limited to formalized classroom instruction • The Community College recognized its responsibility as a catalyst in community development • The community services program should be tailored to meet community needs and not needlessly duplicate existing services in the community

  22. Organizational Clusters more elitist • Credit and non-credit programs • Cultural and community recreation • Assessment counselling & testing • Compensatory program • Community development • Business and industry • Resource centre • Seminars and workshops – short courses less elitist
