Dear Faculty and Staff Colleagues,

As we take a breath at the end of the 2021-22 academic year and prepare for the start of the 2022-23 academic year, I’d like to bring us together to share some important university updates. In particular, we’ll share information related to the current financial projections and budget planning, student success efforts and enrollment outlook going forward, the capital fundraising campaign, and the comprehensive program review. These initiatives, in the context of the evolving institutional, national, and higher education landscape, all contribute to framing our budget priorities for the upcoming fiscal years, and together combine to further focus and advance our important institutional work and future goals as set in Leadership for a Changing World, the Strategic Enrollment Plan, and our campaign priorities.

We encourage your in-person attendance, but to make attendance easily available, the Town Hall will be live-streamed (a link will be provided prior to the session). 

We’ll also plan for some “Q&A” time to answer questions you may have about the aforementioned topics. We will only be able to take questions from those attending in person; however, you can submit questions or comments in advance via “Ask Us” and we’ll try and answer those in the Town Hall presentations as best we can. Following the session, a recording will be available for review by those who are unable to attend.  

Monday, June 13, 2022, 1:00-2:30 p.m.

Rasmussen Rotunda, Wheelock Student Center

During this time we will focus specifically on the following topics:

  • Financial Projections and Budget Planning;
  • Student Success Initiatives, Enrollment, and Summer Strategies;
  • Campaign Fundraising; and the
  • Academic, Administrative, and Auxiliary Program Review.

Thank you for everything you have done over the past year to support our students and our community and everything you continue to do.  I look forward to our time together on Monday, June 13.

Sincerely,

Isiaah
