Community Hour Events
FLIGHT Strategic Plan | 2026- 2029 - Five Part Series
In support of Âé¶¹´«Ã½¸ßÇå University’s commitment to transparency, collaboration, and the sharing of ideas, we are pleased to announce several opportunities for faculty, staff, and students to engage in the development of the University’s 2026–2029 Strategic Plan.
Beginning next week (Feb. 18), the University will host a series of Community Hours over the next six weeks. These interactive sessions are designed to provide an open forum for dialogue, feedback, and the exchange of ideas related to the future direction of Âé¶¹´«Ã½¸ßÇå University.
In addition to Community Hours, please watch for the announcement of a University Town Hall, which will be scheduled in the near future and will offer another opportunity for broad community engagement.
Our first opportunity to connect with the Âé¶¹´«Ã½¸ßÇå community through the Community Event series has now been scheduled. These sessions will engage faculty, staff, and students across all five pillars of the FLIGHT Strategic Plan and provide a forum to discuss future priorities, share ideas, and gather meaningful input to inform our collective direction.
Please join us for Âé¶¹´«Ã½¸ßÇå’ Community Town Hall, a virtual event highlighting the exciting progress made through the Strategic Plan open sessions. Following the Community Town Hall meeting, a survey will be offered to gather additional feedback and suggestions on how we can further strengthen and optimize our strategic vision: Âé¶¹´«Ã½¸ßÇå Community Town Hall – Friday, March 27, from 2:00–3:00 p.m.
