Get Involved

As part of the Academic Affairs strategic planning process, faculty, staff and students are invited to contribute to the shaping of The Golden Road to Student Success through a series of town hall forums and focus groups. Participants will be asked to share their perspectives about key subjects within academic affairs that will enhance student retention efforts; recognition of faculty, staff and students; research; community engagement; and more.  

Members of the university community can expect to receive invitations via email to participate in upcoming events. More information regarding event dates, times and locations will be available in the coming weeks.
