At the beginning of the summer President Frenk invited the University of Miami community to discuss, debate, and offer refinements on eight draft initiatives that will advance the Roadmap to Our New Century. The robust engagement on these initiatives over the last three months reflects a shared commitment to the future of the institution we treasure.

This month, as we prepare to move from consultation to implementation, the University community is invited to seven Town Hall meetings for a conversation with President Frenk and campus leaders about the proposals. This is an opportunity for all members of the UM community to share their thoughts as we transition to action. The Roadmap process began with an intensive University-wide Listening Exercise that involved voices from every corner of our institution. The results helped shape the charge of eight working groups which drafted the Roadmap initiative proposals released in June. This summer we have received further feedback and ideas. These September Town Hall meetings will help finalize the proposals as we shift toward carrying out these bold ideas.

Three Roadmap Town Halls on the Miller School and Rosenstiel campuses will focus on all eight initiatives. Four meetings on the Coral Gables campus will be split thematically, with two focusing on those initiatives that will most impact education and students and two concentrating on the initiatives that will enhance how we conduct research and pursue innovation.

Register for one or more of the Town Halls listed below through Eventbrite.

Feedback on any of the Roadmap Initiatives can be submitted at any time through the website, by using #UMRoadmap on social media, or via email.

The Office of the President looks forward to seeing you in September. Thank you for your continued participation!
