Spring term is off and running even though it still feels like winter. Thanks to all of you that have continued to finish fall term and prepare for the start of term activities. The government shutdown hasn’t impacted the University as much as other external areas, however, students have more hoops to climb through and some guardians and students may experience difficulty in paying their tuition bill. Hopefully, it will end soon.
Spring term is a time of preparing for administrative transitions. Also, Provost Hanson has taken leave until April and Vice Provost McMaster is filling her role. (Interestingly, Provost Hanson has been in the office every other day.) Jennifer Reckner and I are filling the vice provost role until Provost Hanson returns.
The University’s Strategic Enrollment Management group continues to meet monthly. They are looking at issues that impact all of us across the state.
The Twin Cities campus has a Liberal Education Redesign committee revisiting the requirements and developing one or more possible designs/models for a revised curriculum. An update was presented at the December BOR meeting.
I hope all of you are doing well and excited about all the change ahead of us.
