Groups of staff and faculty members took steps toward creating a unified vision of UC Merced’s future during an interactive exercise held over two days in March.
UC Merced’s Visioning Summit provided an opportunity for faculty and staff members to share their ideas, collaborate and collectively discuss their visions of what UC Merced will be and can achieve as it transitions from a startup institution to one that is maturing as it expands under the 2020 Project.
More than 250 staff and faculty members attended the Visioning Summits in person, while an estimated 100 connections occurred during online webcasts that allowed viewers to watch the events remotely and submit feedback in real time. The summits took place March 8 and 9, with the first day geared toward staff members and the second for faculty members.
