About
VISION 2030
Vision 2030 is Odessa College's planning initiative focused on serving needs, addressing workforce gaps, modernizing facilities, and adding more community engagement.
It starts with
our community.
Vision 2030 Planning Committee
The Vision 2030 process began with residents of our community. The Vision 2030 Planning Committee was a diverse group of faculty, students, community leaders, and local business and industry partners. Across three months, this hands-on committee met to explore workforce trends, enrollment numbers, program capacities, financial reports, and facility conditions. These community members were helped shape a vision for the future of Odessa College that better serves the needs of Odessa.
