What would you say to them about coming to EWU, about selecting a major offered by EWU, and about the things they will get here that are truly different from other universities?&nbsp;&#8220;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cYou have the opportunity to talk with a donor who is considering a very large and unrestricted gift to EWU. What would you pitch to the donor that builds on EWU\u2019s areas of strength, promise or addresses a need that would be extraordinarily exciting to work on and that would better serve the students? &#8220;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cWhat are the traditions, commitments, and places that tie us together and are uniformly held dear by EWU?&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a fifth question that was presented from the facilitation team regarding values of the institution. The following question was asked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>From the initial findings from this summer\u2019s focus groups and the early work of the strategic planning committee, we have heard the following four values are essential to EWU:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, belonging<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Student Success<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accessibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regional Impact&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What do these four values mean to you?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There were over 150 participants in attendance for this event. All participants were broken up into groups of 6-8 people. Half of the audience was instructed to answer questions 1 and 2 and the other half was instructed to answer 3 and 4. Responses with two or more were included in the results and identified in parenthesis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below you will find the powerpoint from the September town hall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a84dda34-5a3d-4a2b-8912-338ae406d5af\" href=\"https:\/\/test-inside.ewu.edu\/strategic-planning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/449\/2023\/10\/EWU-Strategic-Planning-Sept-2023-.ppt\">EWU Strategic Planning Sept 2023<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/test-inside.ewu.edu\/strategic-planning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/449\/2023\/10\/EWU-Strategic-Planning-Sept-2023-.ppt\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a84dda34-5a3d-4a2b-8912-338ae406d5af\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On September 28, 2023, Eastern Washington University hosted Dr. John Welty, a Senior Consultant with American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) for a second town hall following up from the August Town Hall sessions.
