Participate and Engage
You are invited to participate in collaborative strategic planning discussions. Your insights and contributions will be invaluable to this important process.

Upcoming Opportunities to Engage
Many of the spring sessions are focused on a particular area important to our future direction. Sessions will include a brief update on the emerging themes and ideas around that particular topic followed by considerable time for input and feedback. We encourage faculty and staff to sign-up for as many of the sessions as are of interest to you.
For those who are unable to attend in person, a portion of the sessions will be recorded and made available in Canvas to Faculty and Staff. Please check Butler Today after the first session for updates and information about accessing these resources.
