This monograph results from a series of papers presented at Brevard Community College during the 1975-76 academic year as part of a lecture series in postsecondary education. Issues discussed include: (1) the future of community college governance relative to increasing federal regulatory involvement; (2) institutional goals as essential ingredients in the process of educational planning; (3) the need for a learning model for "new" students in higher education; (4) coping with increasing demands for education outside of traditional structures; (5) innovations in humanistic education and their implications; (6) implications of regional cooperation and coordination in postsecondary education for the community college; (7) creation of supportive learning environments; and (8) problems and benefits of educational planning. Contributors to this volume include Louis Bender, Robert Breuder, Maxwell King, K. Patricia Cross, Edmund Gleazer, Jr., Terry O'Banion, S. V. Martorana, John Roueche, and James Wattenbarger. It is envisioned that the essays contained in this volume will serve as a catalyst for discussion from which innovative and exciting ideas will result. (Author/JDS)
