The Inspire 2025 strategic plan for Jones County Junior College aims to address challenges posed by a declining high school population, increased competition, and reduced consumer confidence in higher education. The plan focuses on five key areas: inspiring student demand (by streamlining enrollment, partnering with universities and K-12, and improving marketing), inspiring student engagement (through a revised Quality Enhancement Plan, enhanced faculty interaction, and demand-driven majors), inspiring healthy campus life (with improved safety, alternative energy sources, new student housing, and learning communities), recognizing inspired greatness (through a fundraising campaign and alumni engagement), and inspiring return on investment (by launching an online workforce training college, transitioning athletics to a profit model, and maintaining strong leadership). The plan involves significant organizational restructuring, including the creation of an Office of Enrollment Management and a revamped Marketing Department, as well as investments in infrastructure and student support services.
