Presidential Advisory Committee on Political, Social & Civic Engagement.

December 13, 2023

Presidential Advisory Committee on Political, Social & Civic Engagement. In this week’s 12345, I would like to share five ideas for the charge of a new advisory group. The overarching goal is to assist 17³Ô¹Ï's navigation of difficult campus dialogue while leveraging our key strengths–collaboration and collegiality. The first meeting of the group is February 1st from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. (location & modality TBD). If you would like to join the Presidential Advisory Committee on Political, Social & Civic Engagement, please fill out the . Our student leaders are included on this email and are especially encouraged to particpate. Five preliminary aspirations for the advisory are as follows:

(1) Discuss if the is still relevant and may serve as a guide for college’s role in political and social action;

(2) Provide well considered advice and perspective to the President on 17³Ô¹Ï’s response to timely issues of political and social import;

(3) Develop a communication and education plan for the college that thoughtfully speaks to national and world events affecting the well-being of those on campus;

(4) Provide guidance on campus-wide sponsored events that increase understanding and build community;

(5) Further dialogue on roles, responsibilities, and best practices when the campus is dealing with polarizing issues.

I look forward to working with a committed group to revise and co-author this draft and continue to work together with honesty, integrity, trust, transparency, and openness.
