Whitworth faculty and staff members are invited and encouraged to attend one of two upcoming town hall meetings to learn about and provide feedback on a draft vision and strategic plan for Whitworth’s future.
The first meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 1, from noon-1:30 p.m., in Weyerhaeuser Hall, Room 111. The second meeting will take place on Thursday, March 10, from 3:30-5 p.m. in Weyerhaeuser Hall’s Robinson Teaching Theatre. Employees, in consultation with their supervisors, may attend one of the meetings as work time. President Beck Taylor will moderate discussion at both meetings and other members of the University Council will be available to field questions.
The plan outlines a vision for what Whitworth will be in the year 2021 and a set of strategic goals and objectives for how to achieve that vision over the next 10 years. Faculty and staff provided valuable input into the planning process through meetings, surveys and discussions with University Council members in the fall. Since then, the University Council has developed a draft plan that is now ready to be shared with Whitworth’s students, staff and faculty, as well as with alumni, parents, donors, community members and other constituencies.
In addition to the town hall meetings, feedback can be provided through University Council members, an online survey that will be available in early March, and by e-mailing Greg Orwig at gorwig@whitworth.edu.
