This spring, more than 650 students joined members of UWindsor’s Strategic Planning team for an opportunity to have their say on the University’s next strategic plan. Student participation in the Aspire: Together for Tomorrow consultation sessions provided the team with more than 21,000 data points for analysis that will help guide the strategic plan.

As a next step in the planning process, the group will hold in-person facilitated discussions for staff, faculty members, librarians, sessional instructors, and lecturers later this month. All will take place in the student centre’s Alumni Auditorium:

Staff sessions:

• Wednesday, April 20, 10:30 a.m. to noon | 2 to 3:30 p.m. | 6 to 7:30 p.m.
• Thursday, April 21, 9 to 10:30 a.m. | 1 to 2:30 p.m. | 3 to 4:30 p.m.

Faculty sessions:

• Tuesday, April 26, 10:30 a.m. to noon | 2 to 3:30 p.m. | 5:30 to 7 p.m.
• Wednesday, April 27, 9 to 10:30 a.m. | 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. | 2 to 3:30 p.m.

“These interactive conversations are one opportunity to contribute to the development of the University’s strategic plan,” said Erika Kustra, co-chair of the consultation and community engagement team for Aspire and director of the Centre for Teaching and Learning. “Further events are planned focused on specific themes, and virtual engagement opportunities are also being planned.”
