Excellence Evolving: Campus Conversations
October 28, 2026 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Curious about what’s next for our strategic plan? Join the Excellence Evolving: Campus Conversations this fall.
Starting September 23rd, members of the Strategic Implementation and Action Committee (SIAC) will be looking to connect with colleagues from across the university during engaging, one-hour virtual lunchtime sessions every Wednesday from Noon to 1 p.m.
Learn about Year 2 priorities, hear updates on emerging initiatives, share your ideas, and discover opportunities for collaboration. These interactive conversations will highlight how our shared RISE values are helping advance our institutional mission.
Grab your lunch, log in and be part of the conversation. Together, we can learn, connect and help shape the future of Excellence Evolving.
We encourage all faculty and staff to register for the sessions through MyPNW Life to help us track participation and communicate event updates. While registration is encouraged, it is not required to attend. For convenience, the Microsoft Teams link is available directly within each event listing, making it easy to join the conversation.
