Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs & Provost

Dear Faculty, Staff and Students:

At this point, I hope all of you are familiar with the Strategic Positioning process currently underway. In order to further discussion of some key issues related to strategic positioning, I will post over the next several weeks short essays on a variety of topics. The first, available now on the Strategic Positioning Web Site:

http://www.umn.edu/systemwide/strategic_positioning/leading_change.html

is titled “Leading Change.” We continue to seek your comments and advice as this process moves forward.

Sincerely,

E. Thomas Sullivan
Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs and Provost
