Strengths • Community base has “special sense of loyalty” to the college • Ability to raise capital is strong through several existing affiliations (NVCF and VWT Auxiliary & others) • Established/recognized “leader” in key programs • Ability to outreach to new and attractive student segments • Strong academic program presence/UVC, Main Campus and Sites

SWOT--Weaknesses • Staff shifting in professional/technical skills & expertise • Lack of coordinated team visioning & program execution (silos) • Lack of comprehensive web based solutions, focus and communications • Underdeveloped integrated institutional research/planning • Core administrator’s, faculty and staff’s responsibilities are very broad based
