Do you want your voice to be heard in the creation of our university’s upcoming five-year strategic plan? Read below as Peer Advisor Daniel shows how you can do just that!
Hi, everyone! I wanted to update you all on the work of the strategic planning committee on high-quality undergraduate education. On Tuesday afternoon, Profs. Gayle Wald and Jason Zara, chair and vice chair of the committee, hosted a town hall for the GW community, with several other committee members attending. We heard from faculty, staff, and students and are extremely appreciative for their helpful input. Their comments thoughtfully addressed enhancing our STEM program, academic advising, first-year student experience, and out-of-classroom learning.
With that mind, I’d like to invite you to attend one of two town halls that I’ll be leading next week intended for students. We hope to have additional productive conversations that will help guide our committee’s work for the next few months and thus the university’s future for the next several years. I want to again emphasize how important it is that we receive input from students given our distinct focus on undergraduate education. As an undergraduate, it’s important that every stakeholder in this university has her voice heard so that we can craft a five-year plan for the Board of Trustees that makes genuinely meaningful change.
The two town halls will be held in Funger Hall, Room 103 on Tuesday, November 5 and Wednesday, November 6 at 6:30 PM. We’re providing pizza and soft drinks to demonstrate our appreciation for your help, and to recognize that the ol’ GWorld balance might be getting a little low at this point. That’s even more of a reason to tell you friends and bring them along! See you there!
