On September 26, The Weissman School of Arts and Sciences launched its new Strategic Plan for 2024-2029, setting the stage for a future guided by its four core values: collaboration, inclusion, care, and exploration. The launch event was designed as an interactive workshop, engaging faculty, staff, and administrators in strategic discussions that offered tangible and practicable steps toward Weissman’s mission to empower students and faculty for long-term success.
After opening remarks by Provost Essig and Dean Jessica Lang, members of the Strategic Planning Committee, chaired by Ken Guest, Elizabeth Edenberg, Jamel Hudson, Leslie Hunt, Hagop Sarkissian, Charles Scherbaum, Cheryl Smith, and Pablo Soberón Bravo, lent their voices in sharing the overarching objectives of the plan.
The centerpiece of the event was the strategic planning activity, where each table was assigned a specific priority area. Working together, participants collectively brainstormed ideas to move closer to achieving the outlined goals. Each group then shared their ideas with the larger assembly, further emphasizing the importance of cooperative effort to the creation and execution of the Strategic Plan.
