Vision Statement
A Culture of Learning: New Mexico Junior College
In modern day America, the focus on being a hard-worker, making a lot of money, and being socially popular are considered essential to achieve a certain standard of political and economic success. Many Americans still hold the concept of being wealthy only in the financial sense; and thus the spiritual element remains withheld entirely from academic, intellectual, or other "mind" pursuits (Elias 2008). The separation of mind (intellectual pursuits), body (practical, Calvinistic matters), and spirit (the examination and appreciation of meaning) has seriously degraded the average American's ability to use their intuitive, creative reasoning powers to keep their cold, systematic reasoning capabilities sharp, elastic, and progressive. As a result of this causation, the American public is largely anti-intellectual, and so are its students. Through nurturing student interest in internal, versus external, issues, the hope is to eventually change the reason why students go to college, and then their daily lifestyle as a college student. The college will be a better place for both professors and students if the noted social change is executed: teachers will go into classrooms fully aware that every student is looking to merely go into a trade, i.e. not to "learn," or to pursue more intellectual issues; students will be around other like-minded students; and the students who are enrolled in the traditional university/intellectual programs will receive like intellectual stimulation and instruction. At New Mexico Junior College, the climate can still be one of a learning culture through a complete restructuring of its administration and academic policies, outlined below.
The key stakeholders and decision makers involved in this social change implementation are the school board members. Resistance I expect to find from the decision makers...

Learning Organization: A New Paradigm in Business Management Any company that is going to make it... (in the 21st century) has got to find a way to engage the mind of every single employee. If you're not thinking all the time about making every person more valuable, you don't have a chance. What's the alternative? Wasted minds? Uninvolved people? A labor force that's angry or bored? That doesn't make sense!" John Welch,
In the present environment of rapid technological change, it is essential for knowledge workers to continuously be in a learning mode. Metrics need to be put into place to assist managers in focusing training funds where they can be of most use. Kaplan and Norton (1996) emphasize that learning is not the same as training. It consists of factors such as mentoring and tutoring within the organization, in addition to

Ogilvy's success today shows that the embracing of change, the only expected constant in business, is key to a successful visionary strategy.

Strategizing is required, but the learning fostered is not necessarily pre-determined and linear in fashion. After all, life and the way that the economic marketplace shifts and changes are often unpredictable in the extreme. Similar in the ways that the parts of a body must adjust to unexpected changes in the exterior environment, such as changes in temperature, the different components of the organization must adjust to the external
