Campus Engagement Virtual Participation

Campus Engagement Virtual Participation

This month, PSU’s Strategic Planning team held three in-person engagement events. Participants learned what strategic planning means for PSU, and then gathered in small groups with fellow students, staff, faculty, and community members to discuss what makes PSU special and how we can better live up to the values we hold as a community.

For community members unable to participate in these events, we want to hear from you! The activity below will allow you to watch the same welcome and presentations given at in-person events, then provide opportunities for you to digitally provide your insights on 1) the value PSU provides students and 2) helping define the heart of PSU.

This virtual engagement opportunity will close on Friday, February 23, 2024.

As we navigate these discussions and begin to envision the future of our university, your feedback is not just encouraged; it is essential. The experiences, opinions, and aspirations you make space for sharing serve as building blocks for the strategic planning process.

Let’s get to it!
