After involving more than 200 people within the college and the communities it serves in 2000-2001, the Pierce College District adopted five strategic directions to guide it into the future. This plan is a living document, and currently more than 30 work units within the district are instituting action and assessment plans to move the district forward. A process is also in development that will guide the next year of planning and activities to maintain the vitality of this plan. Pierce College District's strategic directions are:
