The Academic Futures subcommittees are submitting to campus some of the compelling ideas that have emerged from combined campus input over the fall semester. These ideas arose from white papers, town hall meetings, unit-based meetings and themed discussions. 

Orrie Gartner, director of operations at the Office of the Associate Vice Chancellor for IT and Chief Information Officer, is asking for your feedback on a set of ideas the subcommittee on staff success has coalesced around. This is your opportunity to weigh in on these ideas, submitting feedback by June 1. 

• What if we reimagined the role of staff, promoting a culture and mindset of interdisciplinary engagement and partnership, and providing opportunities for staff to collaborate in interdisciplinary planning and problem solving? 
• What if we could meet the most basic needs of staff, including childcare and eldercare options? How would this impact our ability to recruit and retain a diverse workforce and ensure a climate of inclusivity and gender equity?
• What if staff at all levels had flexible career paths and support for their professional growth? How would this impact our employee retention in a hyper-competitive job market, and how could it help us to cultivate CU Boulder leaders—with unmatched institutional knowledge—from within our own ranks?
• What if we had a work culture built on the bedrocks of inclusivity and innovation? How would we measure the success of such an engaged and empowered staff?
