Task Forces

About the University Task Forces

Nine task forces have been formed in alignment with the University's goals to make recommendations for action. Each task force is comprised of a group of full-time faculty and staff members, as well as full or part-time students. These individuals are dedicated to the future of the University and passionate about the task force mission. They are looking at challenges and opportunities which can be addressed with creativity while grounded in practical resource planning. The Task Forces are being asked to complete their analysis and recommendations in July and will present them to the University Planning Committee for inclusion in the strategic plan.
