SMU Meadows Marketing & Communications
Established groups, like the Faculty and Student Senates, Staff Association and Council of Deans, will be visited for a presentation and dialogue about the project. Every faculty and staff member will be invited to periodic meetings for updates so that we can reach everyone who is interested in participating.
Interviews are starting at the leadership level in every vice president’s administrative area, the college and schools. From those interviews, we are branching out to many others referred to us. Several hundred will participate.If you would like to provide feedback on the project or process, please email comments to the OE2C office at oe2coffice@mail.smu.edu or contact the project coordinators: bdetwile@smu.edu (8-3237) and msweidel@smu.edu (8-4811).
