Strategic planning meetings set for staff, administrators Oct. 15
Ian Symmonds of Ian Symmonds and Associates, Inc. will visit the Newberg campus on Monday, Oct. 15, to conduct informal focus groups with faculty, staff, and students.
Ian Symmonds and Associates is a consulting firm that specializes in analysis-based strategic marketing and planning for a nationwide client base of independent schools, colleges, universities, and nonprofits. The firm has been selected by President Robin Baker and the board of trustees to guide the university through a strategic planning process to prepare the university for the future.
For your convenience, two sessions will be held for all staff (staff and administrators) to attend. These 45-minute open sessions will address strategic issues facing the university, hopeful outcomes of the planning process, and key distinctive elements of the institution. The sessions are designed to give everyone a voice and an opportunity to contribute to the planning process. Faculty, staff, and students are all represented on the Strategic Planning Steering Committee, with the intent to involve the whole university community in planning during the winter and spring.
Open sessions for all staff and administrators are scheduled in Wood-Mar Auditorium at the following times on Monday, Oct. 15:
8:30 – 9:15 a.m.
11 – 11:45 a.m.
All staff and administrators are encouraged to attend one of the sessions.
