Thank you for comments on Strategic Pathways initiatives

Sam Bishop

Thank you to those of you who met with me and President Johnsen on the Strategic Pathways Phase II options recently and for candidly sharing your perspective on potential unintended consequences and alternatives for consideration.

We heard many themes over the course of two days. We appreciate that you’ve identified many opportunities for automation and streamlining processes and in many cases are already working together to support our strategic objectives.

We learned in this last round that the Strategic Pathways forums should be more broadly advertised and open to everyone, including students. We will work to be more inclusive.

Please continue to remain engaged in the Strategic Pathways process. Submit your comments online at www.alaska.edu/pathways/.

Thank you again for taking the time to thoughtfully consider and recommend options.
