At the meeting, which was a follow up to the April 20 working session, President Nair discussed strategic goals for the University. He presented a plan for the next three years to transition the campus to a self-sustaining model.

Representing the Shared Governance and Transparency committee, co-chairs Bre Donnelly, assistant dean of students, and Dr. Ana Maria Garcia, associate professor of Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminal Justice, spoke about their committee’s work, sharing the committee’s next steps to explore institutional models and engage faculty, staff, and students in further discussion of what shared governance and transparency means to our community.

During the Aspirational committee presentation, co-chairs Dr. Carole Loeffler, associate professor and chair of Visual and Performing Arts, and Alison Lalond Wyant, associate dean for Teaching and Learning at The College of Global Studies (TCGS), said their goals are to look at where the University has been, where it currently is, and where the University’s shared vision should go in the next five and 10 years.
