Austin Community College, Austin, Texas, USA, 1995.
Six future searches were run at Austin Community College in a period of two an a half months. Five were run campus-wide, one at each of the five campuses at Austin Community College. The sixth was a capstone conference for the college as a whole. The stakeholders included students, staff, faculty, administration, institutional partners, governmental/regulatory Agencies, community connections, and business. The five campus conferences provided a detailed and invigorating picture of the potential futures of each of the individual campuses. The Capstone Conference pulled together the various visions and included new input focused at the institutional level. The validation of the earlier conferences occured as hoped for and integrated the various strands of activities into a more comprehensive vision for the college. A 24 page summary report on the series is available by email from Tobin Quereau at quereau@austin.cc.tx.us.
