Dear Faculty, Staff and Students,

We hope you will join us at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Strategic Plan Town Hall on Tuesday, April 3 at noon in the Alice Campbell Alumni Center ballroom. Campus leadership will share current progress on the planning, and then the audience will have an opportunity to provide comments and ask questions.

This is an important next step in the strategic planning process. Feedback received during this meeting will help shape the campus goals and priorities for the next several years.

We would like to express our gratitude to the individuals across campus who have participated in the strategic planning process so far, especially the strategic focus area committee members. These subject matter experts have worked diligently to examine strategic topics that are critically important to our future.

We would like to encourage everyone to visit The Next 150 website to see four new reports: Diversity, Food Security, Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences. Please take some time to review them and leave comments.

This has been designated an “approved event." With prior approval and operations permitting, non-exempt civil service employees may attend the event without loss of pay.

If you will need disability-related accommodations in order to participate in the program, please contact the Office of Special Events (333-8834) or wilhelmb@illinois.edu. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your access needs.

We hope you’ll be able to join us for this conversation.

Sincerely,

Robert J. Jones
Chancellor

Andreas C. Cangellaris
Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Provost
