UVic community invited to town hall meetings

UVic President David Turpin is inviting the campus community to a town hall meeting to celebrate the university’s successes and discuss its plans for the future.

“Members of the university community have achieved an impressive list of successes in the past year,” says Turpin. “We’ve already begun to build on these achievements in 2002 as we implement UVic’s strategic plan, A Vision for the Future.”

At the town hall meeting, Turpin will outline the university’s progress toward the goals articulated in the plan, as well as specific strategies for the coming years. He also wants to hear what students, faculty, and staff think about the future.

Two sessions have been scheduled: Wednesday, Oct. 30, 12:30 p.m. in the Student Union Building, Michele Pujol room; and 3:30 p.m. in the Fraser Building, room 159. For more information, call 721-6139.
