前进备忘录#9:定期部门公开论坛

Moving Forward Memos #5-8

After 92 listening sessions with over 1,500 members of our campus community, I am pleased to share the final report from my 100 Days of Listening. 该报告包括对各届会议进行分析后得出的九个主题, 同时还提供了参与者所说的工作和需要改进的地方的信息. The report also includes the 23 action items that will be the focus of our 2023-2028 Strategic Plan, which I previously shared with campus.

我要感谢所有的教职员工他们自愿参与 strategic activity work groups. In the coming weeks, the executive sponsors of each of the action items will be reaching out to those who put their names forward to update you on the plans for the work groups.

As I shared in a message last month, 听取会议提出的几项建议在本质上是可操作的 are being communicated to appropriate campus leaders via presidential Moving Forward memos. I am pleased to share Moving Forward memos 5-8.

前进备忘录#4:感官敏感的毕业庆典

At my fall listening sessions with students, I learned that traditional Commencement ceremonies can be overwhelming for students with sensory processing sensitivities. Rather than a celebratory occasion, these students experience the noise, crowds, 在毕业典礼上的其他刺激是压倒性的, uncomfortable, and extremely stressful. To provide a comfortable environment for students to be recognized for their academic achievements, I am pleased to share Moving Forward Memo #4, which directs the Disability Access Center (DAC) to host a sensory sensitive graduation event this spring.

The DAC will be reaching out to eligible students with a personal invitation to participate in our first Sensory Sensitive Graduation Celebration, taking place from 2-4 p.m., Wednesday, May 8, in The WELL Terrace Suite. This celebration will provide an intimate setting and sensory accommodations that will allow students to fully focus on their accomplishments. It will also be an opportunity to recognize select faculty members who have a demonstrated record of supporting DAC initiatives. Please contact the DAC at dac@daehanserver.net 浏览更多有关感敏毕业典礼的资料.

By hosting this sensory-friendly event, 我们希望所有的学生都能有一个愉快的毕业经历, including those with sensory sensitivities. Students who participate in the Sensory Sensitive Graduation Celebration are still welcome to participate in their college Commencement ceremony at Golden 1 Center, and can request accommodations by contacting dac@daehanserver.net by May 10.

前进备忘录#2:提升Sac州立员工

During President Wood’s Spring Address, 他正式宣布并发起了“促进Sac国家工作人员”倡议. 这一举措旨在创造一种持续学习的文化, growth, development, meaningful inclusion, and pathways for advancement at Sac State.

我们每个人都在推动这一倡议的目标中发挥着关键作用. As co-executive leaders of this initiative, we expect that all managers (MPPs) will provide maximum flexibility and encourage staff members to participate in the multiple opportunities available for their professional growth and meaningful inclusion in the Promote Sac State Staff Initiative. 这包括但不限于员工资源小组(ERGs)的工作, 参与校园策略计划专责委员会, workgroups, and taskforces, 以及反种族主义和包容性校园计划活动.

因为我们为促进Sac州工作人员倡议的成功奠定了坚实的基础, we will be establishing a workgroup of staff and MPPs to help us co-construct additional components of the Promote Sac State Staff Initiative. 请注意未来的消息和下一步.

Moving Forward Memo #1: Campus dial-out number

上周，资讯资源及科技部(IRT) 分享了一条关于新校园拨出号码的消息. 发生这种变化的原因是我在聆听会议上分享的信息, and I am pleased that IRT was able to quickly act to change the dial-out number to seven so that our University Police Department will receive fewer accidental 911 calls.

Like the change in dial-out number, 听取会议提出的几项建议在本质上是可操作的, as such, are not listed as part of 上个月我和校园分享的战略活动. Instead, we have created a list of operational actions that will be communicated to appropriate campus leaders via presidential memos, which we are calling “Having Listened, Moving Forward” memos. These operational action memos direct leaders to implement simple administrative changes that will help to eliminate redundancies, streamline processes, and reduce workload. 我们期待着在整个春季学期继续发送这些备忘录. 根据这些备忘录所做的更改将传达给校园的相应区域.

Moving Forward Memo #1 directed to IRT to change the dial-out number. Thank you to all the staff and administrators in IRT for this quick and efficient work and for providing clear communication to campus about the change.

Thank you to those who attended listening sessions to highlight the various operational actions we need to take to make our campus more effective and efficient. 我们期待在未来几周和几个月内做出许多改进.
