A message from Dr. Chris Watling

Last week, we completed our final focus group in support of our strategic planning process. In total, more than 400 faculty, staff and learners participated in one or more of the 39 focus groups. It has been an incredibly worthwhile undertaking and the feedback we received was thoughtful, thought provoking and forward looking.

Thank you for taking the time to engage with this process. I appreciate the stresses and time pressures that everyone is managing at this time and the Strategic Planning Committee is grateful for your participation.

We have created an additional opportunity for faculty, staff and learners to provide feedback in this important planning process through a short survey. The survey should only take about five minutes to complete and will make a difference in the development of the plan.

We are asking all faculty, staff and learners to provide your input through the survey – whether or not you have participated in a focus group. The deadline to participate is May 15.

Thank you again,
Dr. Chris Watling
