SUBJECT:

Student Town Hall Meetings to Discuss Strategic Planning Process

I invite you to attend an upcoming Town Hall meeting to learn more about, and participate in, the strategic planning process being initiated by the campus to establish shared goals to define the future of UC San Diego. It is important that the development of our strategic plan is a bottom-up, inclusive and collaborative process, and that everyone has an opportunity to share ideas and give input.

There will be two student Town Hall meetings – one for all students and one specifically for graduate and professional students.

-All Student Town Hall: Tuesday, January 8, from 5:00 – 6:30 p.m. in the Price Center West Ballroom B

-Graduate/Professional Student Town Hall: Thursday, January 10, from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room in the Student Services Center.

Each Town Hall will begin with a presentation about the strategic planning process before brainstorming sessions in which you may provide comments.

In addition to Town Hall meetings, we will also conduct focus groups, interviews, online surveys and other information-gathering sessions to ensure full inclusion of our campus and community members in this process. I encourage you to learn more by visiting plan.ucsd.edu.

Please plan to join me for this important opportunity to define UC San Diego’s future. If you have any questions about the Town Hall meetings, please contact Special Events and Protocol at (858) 534-6386.
