Academic Strategic Planning: Gratitude and Appreciation

With the season of thanks upon us, we want to extend our deep gratitude and appreciation to everyone in our university community for their commitment to advancing academic excellence at Syracuse University. This includes our students, faculty, staff and working group chairs and members. We are proud of the tremendous involvement to date in the academic strategic planning process.

Just last week, we hosted two student-focused events and engaged in dialogue with members of the Graduate Student Organization and Student Association. The feedback from our students complements the vast input we have received from faculty and staff.

We hope you will continue to remain engaged and dedicated to this important work. If you haven’t yet, please take a moment to review engagement and feedback opportunities. As a reminder, you can attend an engagement session, take a survey or submit your feedback.

We also have a virtual, student-focused event scheduled this evening; more information is below.

Thank you for your continued engagement, participation and support!
