The Cuyahoga Community College (CCC) counseling center focuses on academic, personal, and career counseling. With its Focus on Learning model (FOL), the center has developed a forward-looking initiative that helps facilitate student learning by identifying six strategic areas that contribute to student success, and developing programs in those areas that facilitate student attainment.
THE FUTURE OF COUNSELING IN COMMUNITY COLLEGES
As our society changes and the community college student population becomes increasingly diverse, counseling departments must examine the scope, depth, and delivery of their services. Cuyahoga, Ohio’s largest community college, has designed and implemented a new model that drives the delivery services for all departments on campus. Developed by a planning committee with members representing the entire campus community, the Focus on Learning model encompasses all of the aspects that will guide, connect, and align the campus with districtwide initiatives (Miles, Nelson-Angel, O’Connor, & Johnson, 2002).
