9C1 Identifying Key Collaborative
Relationships
Western develops collaborative relationships with many organizations, agencies, businesses, and community groups in order to accomplish its mission (Figure 9.2).
- Western works collaboratively with many feeder institutions and organizations to implement programs that promote life-long learning through advanced education and to ensure the seamless pursuit of a college degree.
- Western understands that the success of its academic programs is related to the degree that employers, community agencies, and graduate and professional schools embrace its students before and after graduation.
- Western engages in innovative partnerships with various organizations to expand services to its students that enhance their overall learning
experience and promote student satisfaction.
- Western views itself as an integral member of the region, and, therefore, it promotes service and citizenship among its administration,
faculty, staff, and students.
Key relationships identified in Figure
9.2 are representative of Western’s intentional commitment
to building collaborative relationships for its students and
the greater region. These relationships fall into one of the
following categories 1) institutions and organizations from which
Western receives its students, 2) institutions, organizations
and employers that receive Western’s students pre- and
post-graduation, 3) organizations that provide services to Western’s
students, 4) the general region with whom Western interacts,
and 5) other educational associations, external agencies, and
consortia partners.
