A Strategic Plan Open Forum will be held on Tuesday, January 15, at 4 p.m. in Bodek Lounge, Houston Hall. Executive Vice President John Fry and Provost Robert Barchi will summarize where they are now in the planning process and solicit additional input from the University community. The development of Penn's new strategic plan which builds on The Agenda for Excellence (Almanac May 1, 2001) is progressing, according to Provost Barchi. He gave an update on the strategic planning process at Council's State of the University address in November (Almanac November 13). The 14 strategic planning committees have submitted draft reports which will be finalized in the coming weeks.

A draft of the Strategic Plan is expected to be published For Comment early next semester.
