Dear Faculty and Staff,
The Steering Committee for the University Strategic Plan for Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities will be hosting a town hall series of meetings to receive input from the campus community on the draft plan. This plan will tie into the university strategic plan approved last summer and will be a roadmap to help us achieve the goals of strategic direction #2, Advancing Research, Innovation, and Creativity. These meetings are designed to receive feedback from various campus stakeholders regarding the future of research, scholarship and creative activities at App State. These meetings will inform the steering committee on drafting, implementing and assessing the plan.
Feedback Sessions
Later this month, the project team will host a series of interactive meetings in person and on Zoom to present the current draft of the strategic plan and solicit input from employees. If you would like to participate in one of the feedback sessions, please be sure to register below. This will ensure that we have the appropriate number of facilitators for the sessions and that registrants receive reminders for the sessions.
