The Strategic Thinking Working Groups have gathered input from the campus community since the beginning of March. From small informal conversations to large group meetings, the participation by the campus community has been both gratifying and illuminating:
- Meetings with 190 faculty members across the four colleges
- Meetings with the department chairs, dean of students, and associate dean of students
- Meeting with Library Technology Services directors
- Well over 50 small group meetings with various staff members
- The two interactive campus-wide events in March were a resounding success, attracting a total of 220 attendees representing a broad cross-section of faculty and staff
- The questions on the campus-wide blog (launched on March 11) have generated many additional comments
Ultimately, the Working Group reports will provide the foundation of the strategic plan that President Gast is developing. We thank those who have already shared their ideas, and we invite everyone to take the time to read the first drafts of the reports.
