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.

The Vision 2030 Planning Committee toured the Odessa College campus to assess facility conditions, gaining valuable insights into challenges and opportunities. These firsthand evaluations helped identify areas for improvement and develop targeted strategies, ensuring our plans address the real needs of our students and community.
Uniting for a Brighter Future
The committee's charge was to create a plan that represents and provides opportunities for their community. By prioritizing needs and understanding available resources, they arrived at innovative solutions that balance utility across current and future faculty, students, and the community. Their efforts built a plan to strengthen the community, making Odessa a place where people seek to live, work, grow, and learn.
