Campus leaders launch new strategic plan February 1

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Chancellor Robert Jones and Provost Andreas Cangellaris are inviting campus and community members to the launch of “The Next 150,” the 2018-23 strategic plan for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

The event will take place Friday, Feb. 1 from 12-1 p.m. in Illini Union rooms A, B and C, 1401 W. Green St., Urbana. A sign-language interpreter will be present and the event will be wheelchair-accessible.

Jones will provide opening remarks and Cangellaris will present key points from the strategic plan, the guiding document that sets the campus goals and priorities for the next five years. Following the chancellor’s and provost’s comments, several faculty members will share their vision for the plan.

The full text of the plan will be distributed at the event. A corresponding website, “The Next 150,” will go live at that time, replacing the current planning website.
