One of the best ways for faculty and staff to provide input for Whitworth’s 10-year vision and strategic plan is to attend the town hall meeting today from noon-1:30 p.m. in Weyerhaeuser Hall, Room 111. After a brief introduction, faculty and staff members will be invited to ask questions, make comments and provide input on the draft plan. Members of University Council will be on hand to respond to questions and listen to feedback.
A second faculty/staff town hall meeting will be held on March 10, from 3:30-5 p.m. in the Robinson Teaching Theatre. Employees, in consultation with their supervisors, can attend one of the meetings as work time.
Employees can review the plan online on a new website available at www.whitworth.edu/Whitworth2021. The website has a feedback page where individuals can offer input through an anonymous online survey or by e-mail.
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, 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.
