Dear Student Affairs Team,

I hope you had a restful spring break. Thank you again to everyone who participated in the Student Affairs Roundtable sessions and Design Team conversations as part of our ongoing reorganization efforts. Your perspectives and input are helping shape a more collaborative, student-centered structure for our division

Attached is a one-page Feedback Snapshot summarizing the key themes, representative quotes, and proposed next steps based on your feedback. This document reflects what we heard, what we’re working toward, and how we plan to keep the momentum going.

Highlights include:

• A strong desire for continued cross-functional collaboration
• Clear expectations for transparency and follow-through
• Departmental insights on improving student-facing systems
• Action steps for sustaining engagement and driving change

As we move into the next phase of our work together, this feedback is already informing how we approach structure, leadership, and communication. Thank you for your continued partnership.

Please continue to share questions or ideas. We remain committed to making this a collaborative, transparent, and purposeful process. Remember that we have a dedicated page where we will have all communication regarding the Student Affairs realignments and will compile frequently asked questions as they come up. This will be a helpful resource throughout the realignment process.
