This paper uses St. Philips College in San Antonio, Texas, as a model for community colleges facing the challenge of meeting expanded academic and leadership expectations with ever-shrinking budgets. The authors offer suggestions for ways to maintain high-quality instruction, management, and support. The authors present the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) list of six workplace conditions that may lead to stress: (1) Design of Tasks (which may include a heavy workload or routine tasks with little inherent meaning); (2) Management Style (which may include poor communication); (3) Interpersonal Relations (which may include lack of support or help from coworkers and supervisors; (4) Work Roles (including too much responsibility); (5) Career Concerns (including job insecurity); and (6) Environmental Conditions (including unpleasant or dangerous physical conditions). St. Philip's used these finding to explore working conditions at the college and to determine if professional development could aid in addressing the problems. As a result, the college instituted a professional development program called Pathways to Excellence that was designed to address all the NIOSH stressors--with the exception of Environmental Conditions, which was approached via other avenues.
