Over the summer, the committee dedicated many hours toward developing the university wide strategic planning process that will kick off on Monday, September 23, from 8:15 to 9 a.m. in Montezuma Hall of the Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union.<br><br>When we announced the kickoff event and the group sessions that will follow, nearly 430 of you registered this week alone, committing to participate during one of the many group sessions to be held between Monday, September 23, and Wednesday, September 25. We encourage many more of you to become involved at this early stage. <br><br>I personally thank you for taking the time to contribute to one of the most important initiatives we have launched in the last year to reimagine the future of SDSU.<br><br>Please submit your RSVP no later than September 13 to attend at least one of the group sessions.<br><br></span></p>

Your input and ideas are critical for the development of our shared vision, mission and strategic goals, all of which will determine the priorities for the main campus, SDSU Imperial Valley and the potential development of SDSU Mission Valley. <br><br>We have also introduced a centralized site where you can learn about the strategic planning effort, including our process, timeline and the team members involved.
