These members of the CU community bring diverse perspectives and expertise from across our system, and together they will work collaboratively to develop actionable strategies that will propel the University of Colorado into the future.

What’s next? Over the coming months, the Working Group will meet to discuss key priorities, gather input from the wider campus community, and craft a strategic plan that reflects the needs, aspirations and values of our system. We encourage everyone to stay engaged and share your thoughts and ideas with the group as we move forward.

How can you get involved? Stay tuned for upcoming opportunities to participate in open forums by way of shared governance groups across the system, surveys and a website where you can provide suggestions on the planning process. Your input is essential to creating a strategic plan that truly represents our entire community. Let’s come together and chart the course for a successful future.
