Strategic Planning Town Halls – Alumni Support and Feedback Requested

During the Spring 2009 semester, CSU Dominguez Hills will be going through a strategic planning process. The process of creating a Strategic Plan allows us to collectively explore the many ways in which we want CSU Dominguez Hills to grow and develop core areas.

"It will be a collaborative process that will strive to include not only the internal community but also our external stakeholders," says CSU Dominguez Hills President Mildred García. "We will need to define our mission more sharply, our vision and our strategic objectives clearly for the next five years."

CSU Dominguez Hills is a central resource for the South Bay and our growth directly impacts the community and local economy. The feedback sessions provide an opportunity for off-campus stakeholders to share their opinions and ideas.

All alumni are invited to participate in the upcoming Strategic Planning Town Halls. Please attend one or all of these sessions in the Loker Student Union on campus:

Monday, February 23rd
5:00 – 7:00 p.m.

Friday, February 27
8:00 – 10:00 a.m.

Tuesday, March 3
2:30 – 4:30 p.m.
