Strategic Framework feedback sessions available for faculty, staff

February 9, 2023

The Strategic Framework Working Groups will be hosting a series of feedback sessions during the week of February 20th. During these sessions, members of the groups will share updates on their visioning work to date and pose specific questions to those who attend. Both in-person and virtual formats will be available, with sessions structured to allow faculty and staff to participate in multiple sessions depending on their interests.

In Person

The in-person feedback sessions will take place on Tuesday, Feb. 21, in Benson University Center 401 and 409/410. Each Working Group will host a series of conference-style 30-minute sessions (4-4:30 p.m.; 4:30-5 p.m.; 5-5:30 p.m.). This structure allows faculty and staff to learn about and provide input into up to three of the five topic areas should they choose. The day will conclude with a beer and wine reception from 5:30-6 p.m.

Virtual

Each Working Group will host two 45-minute Zoom sessions on Thursday, Feb. 23, and/or Friday, Feb. 24 (times are listed below). These sessions will be structured similarly to the in-person options, with each group summarizing its work-to-date and then posing questions to the participants. Instructions on how to join will be shared in next week’s Inside Wake Forest newsletter.

The voices of the Wake Forest community are critical to shaping the “hows” of our approach to meeting our thematic goals that the Working Groups have been charged with exploring and proposing. Those unable to attend the sessions are encouraged to submit their thoughts, ideas, and questions to the Working Groups via the Strategic Framework website.
