In the past, environmental scanning reports produced by Sinclair Community College (SCC) in Ohio were designed to provide a brief, eclectic, and provocative overview of major trends and issues likely to influence the development of the institution during the upcoming fiscal year. The 1993 Environmental Scan report speculates about long-term environmental forces affecting SCC to the year 2005. Data presented in the report are organized into the following 11 sections: service area demographics; economic and employment outlook; state higher education policy; access; enrollment; teaching/learning; student support services; human resources; infrastructure; vision and organization; and fiscal outlook. Selected findings include the following: (1) the principal demographic influence on the state and region will be the "middle aging" of baby boomers; (2) shifts in the economy will require individuals with technical, communication, management, and problem-solving skills largely attained through higher education; (3) to face the challenges of global competitiveness, Ohio must reverse its past history of under-investing in higher education; (4) SCC's orientation will shift from providing access to programs and credentials to providing access to knowledge; (5) by the year 2005, SCC's enrollment will increase by over 40%; (6) SCC will transform its focus on teaching to a focus on learning; and (7) digitized electronic technologies for interactive learning will be a major infrastructure consideration. Supplemental information making up more than half the document, consists of data tables and charts. (Contains 32 references to resources and sources.) (PAA)
