Message from Dean Rachel Dunifon - Envisioning the future of our college
November 12, 2020
Dear College of Human Ecology community:
The challenges we have faced and overcome this year are a true testament to the strength of the College and a collective commitment to our mission. Despite many distractions, we have stayed the course and each day continue to demonstrate the importance and impact of our work.
In the spirit of that continuity, I am excited to announce that we are ready to launch one of the priorities I articulated earlier this year: a participatory, strategic visioning process for the College of Human Ecology. This activity will bring our community together to:
- Build upon the unique strengths and proud history of our college;
- Articulate a compelling, strategically sound vision for our future; and
- Identify the key priorities that will guide our work in strengthening the College’s scholarship, culture and impact.
Your input is essential to this process. Over the course of this academic year, with support from Anica Madeo and Kerry Sheldon of Bridgeport Consulting, we plan to offer ample opportunities for Human Ecology students, staff, faculty, and alumni to shape the future of our college. We know that many in our community face particularly significant demands on our time and energy right now. As such, we will offer several ways to engage in this process and promise to be thoughtful about any requests for your valuable time.
Please watch for invitations to participate and updates about the process, which will also be published on this specialized webpage.
Looking forward to the conversation,
Rachel Dunifon
The Rebecca Q. and James C. Morgan Dean
