Subject: Town Hall Meeting -- Academic Visioning Workgroup II Topic: Academic Organization

Dear Campus Community,

A reminder that the first town hall meeting for Vitalization Academic Visioning Workgroup II is today from 4-4:50 pm in Coleman 1255. We will present three key areas of organization: 1) how we present our academics to prospective students, 2) options for reorganizing academic colleges, 3) other related proposals.

We welcome your feedback, criticism, and ideas even if you cannot attend today's meeting. We also welcome you to email any member of the work group with your feedback. We look forward to presenting our ideas, and receiving your feedback. A handout on the Town Hall will be posted on the Vitalization website later this morning (https://www.eiu.edu/vitalizeproject/). Additionally, we ask that you provide us feedback via this survey: https://eiu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_d0heN3boDOAK90h.

Sincerely,
Melinda Mueller, Professor, Political Science (mamueller@eiu.edu)
