Einstein Ideas
One theme in the recently completed employee survey expressed a desire for more opportunities for voicing ideas and suggestions to improve the university. To this end, I have scheduled two dates this semester to listen to suggestions from anyone in the university community who wishes to drop by Einstein’s and share an idea. These are not designed to be gripe sessions or to bypass university processes for decision making, but for me to hear firsthand any ideas you have for improving the university.
I will be in Einstein’s Friday, Oct. 30 from 8–9:30 a.m. and Tuesday, Dec. 1 from 3:30–5 p.m. Feel free to stop by and share a good idea.
