The campus community is invited to a town hall meeting hosted by Chancellor Phyllis M. Wise at 4 p.m. Dec. 6 in the Colwell Playhouse at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts.

According to Wise, the purpose of the meeting is “to provide a preliminary summary of what I have gathered in my ongoing Listening and Learning Tour and, secondly, to hear from you as to what our untapped potential is and how we can best position this university to achieve even greater successes in the years to come.”

Wise, who also serves as vice president of the university, said it is the first of what she believes will be regular meetings to allow campuswide participation in guiding the future of the university.

This is an approved event so employees may get release time from their jobs – with prior approval – to attend.

For those not able to attend, the event will be streamed live on the Here and Now Videos section of the Illinois homepage (http://illinois.edu/here_now/videos.html). It will be archived at http://go.illinois.edu/TownHall. UI-7 Cable Television also will re-broadcast the event at 6 p.m. Dec. 9 and at noon Dec. 10.
