All Canisius faculty and staff members are invited to attend the next Town Hall Meeting with President Hurley and the vice presidents on Tuesday, April 30 from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. in the Grupp Fireside Lounge
This Town Hall will be a series of roundtable discussions with President Hurley and the vice presidents. A similar format was used in the past and people responded very positively. This will give them a chance to talk about some of the key priorities in each respective area and discuss, as a smaller group, any thoughts or questions. We will do these in 15-minute sets to give participants an opportunity to talk with several groups. As we found last time, this led to a number of informative and engaging conversations and we look forward to doing this again.
Refreshments will be served.
