Discovery sessions scheduled for Strategic Planning
UNC Charlotte has begun the planning process to develop the next strategic plan that will map how we will focus our energy, resources and attention over the next ten years. Chancellor Gaber has appointed a Strategic Planning Committee, co-chaired by faculty members Pinku Mukherjee and George Banks, and composed of faculty, staff, students and administrators.
One of the Strategic Planning Committee’s primary charges is to engage the UNC Charlotte community to solicit input regarding UNC Charlotte’s most important strengths that the strategic plan should build upon, the areas that we need to focus on in the next two to three years to advance the University, and up to three big, overarching aspirational goals that Niners would like to see accomplished in the next 10 years.
Discovery Sessions
Beginning next week, the Committee will host discovery sessions for students, faculty and staff to provide their thoughts, feedback and recommendations to inform the development of the strategic plan. All discovery sessions will be virtual via Zoom conferencing. We are asking attendees to register in order to plan for optimal facilitation and engagement.
Session details and registration links are as follows:
Student Discovery Session

Staff Discovery Session

Online Survey
Recognizing that some members of our campus community cannot participate at these times and that hearing from our alumni is critical to the formation of the next strategic plan, the Committee is also administering an online survey as a convenient, confidential opportunity to provide feedback and recommendations to the Committee to inform its work. The online survey is available from today, Oct. 27, until 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 6.
