A message from Chair Laura Lowes:

By now, you’ve likely heard about the College’s strategic plan draft “Engineering for the Public Good.” I’m writing to our community to ask each one of you to please take 20–30 minutes to review the plan and provide feedback. 

To do our best work in serving the public good, our department must be a place where all who study, work and teach can succeed and thrive. We’re committed to creating an equitable environment for everyone — and we know there’s still much to be done. Each person’s feedback helps us create a vision for a College of Engineering where all of us can thrive. Your feedback will make a real difference. You may skip any question you’re not comfortable answering, and feedback can be submitted anonymously. 

Feedback received by June 18th will be reviewed and revisions will be made throughout the summer in anticipation of a public launch of the strategic plan this fall. Throughout the summer, a small group will work to build an implementation plan that defines metrics, estimates of resource needs and timelines for implementation for each major priority and strategy.   

Reach out to co-chairs Professor Suzie Pun or Professor Nate Sniadecki if you have any questions about the plan or planning process. Thank you for helping to make the College a better place for everyone.
