As is made clear in Comprehensive Standard 3.1.1, Institution Mission, the mission statement for the College serves as the foundation on which the programs and services of the Institution are built.  The mission of SKCTC is consistent with that of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System as articulated in the Kentucky Postsecondary Improvement Act of 1991 [2].  The mission statement of SKCTC is communicated to the faculty, staff, student body, and community at large in several different ways.  It is included on the College’ Web Page [1], student [3] and faculty handbooks [4], and schedule of classes [5], published each semester throughout the Institution’s service area.  All College constituencies—faculty, staff, students, and members of the Board of Directors—have the opportunity to periodically review and make recommendations for changes to the mission statement.  The statement was updated in both 1999 and 2004 and approved by the SKCTC Board of Directors [6] and the KCTCS Board of Regents [7].
