Adapting to Student Needs
Thank you to all who submitted ideas for an inspiring way to refer to the Student Affairs strategic plan. After carefully reviewing all submissions, Student Affairs leaders settled on a name that combined the ideas and concepts from the submissions and reflects our approach to supporting student well-being and success: Adapting to Student Needs.
“All the name ideas submitted showed thoughtful consideration for the work we do in Student Affairs and sparked conversations that lead to what I feel is the right name for our strategic plan,” said Lori McDonald, vice president for Student Affairs. “As we strive to help students discover their passion, people and purpose, our strategic plan will help us focus our efforts and be innovative as we adapt to the diverse, changing needs of our students. I’m so grateful to everyone who took the time to brainstorm and submit their ideas so we could arrive at the final name together.”
While no full submission was chosen, everyone who submitted their ideas was put into a random drawing for a $50 Dining Services gift card. The winner is Leila Ames. Congratulations!
We have updated the strategic plan website to reflect the new name.
