Creating the SOAR Team

Following the SOAR Team’s work and related feedback sessions on the Team’s analysis, a Planning Team was then established to engage with the findings in-depth and first identify a discrete set of provisional goals on which the University should focus for the next five years and then work to revise and refine the draft goals. This core planning team will meet five times from October to early May.
