"The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself." --Wallace Wattles

Input sought in developing UWRF's new Strategic Plan

UW-River Falls is developing a focused, forward thinking strategic plan that will build on its strengths and past strategic planning efforts. There have been few times when our university has been more challenged. Come be part of the conversation. Be an active participant in the planning process.

The success of such an endeavor relies on the support and participation from all constituencies. There will be many events during the upcoming year at which faculty, staff, students, and the greater community will have the opportunity to actively engage in the process and provide constructive input.

The following meetings have been arranged to allow opportunities to actively engage in the process and provide constructive input. Please consider attending both your unit meeting and one of the university-wide Town Hall meetings. While both will focus on the future of the university as a whole, the intent is that the focused work done in the unit meetings will promote a broader discussion at the campus community Town Hall meetings. We encourage you to review the documents under Foundational Analysis on the Strategic Plan 2012-2017 Web page prior to the meetings.
