I wanted to reach out to you to ensure that you were aware of the opportunity to provide expert feedback on the UC Merced Chancellor's 2030 Strategic Plan that will go through a 3-5-10 year process for implementation. This is a great opportunity for you to
have a voice in how certain new programs and faculty positions will be determined. Your feedback is essential to this process. If you have a proposal for any initiatives for the committee to consider, I encourage you to provide feedback on these goals. Please
share this with fellow non-senate colleagues as well.</div>
