Announcements
The Commission on University Strategic Planning (CUSP) asks that all faculty and staff consider participating in the spring semester work of the four CUSP Planning Groups. The groups are: The Academic Experience, The Student Experience, The Employee Experience, and The University and its Environment. A draft vision for the University was completed by these same planning groups last fall. Now the groups will come back into session to develop strategic planning recommendations to implement that vision. The draft vision statement can be found on-line at: www.sfsu.edu/~acadplan/cuspIIvision1.htm.
The four planning groups will meet jointly with the commission from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday in Room 133 of the Humanities building. The groups will meet every Thursday afternoon thereafter for the rest of the semester, with starting times of the meetings to be determined by the groups themselves.
