Special Guests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Chancellor Thomas Gibson<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Chancellor Gibson was able to meet with students and their families during move-in day, and was excited to see the energy and enthusiasm that the students had for coming to 51ÁÔÆæ.  He also hosted a Coffee with the Chancellor event to meet with students to get feedback on their experiences at 51ÁÔÆæ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Chancellor Gibson has met with several local government officials, along with congressional representatives or their staff, to start building relationships and increase support for 51ÁÔÆæ.  He also helped make connections between military personnel and 51ÁÔÆæ researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Chancellor Gibson has also started meeting with major donors, reconfirming their commitment to 51ÁÔÆæ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Chancellor has been busy with interviews with local media outlets, including the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Milwaukee Business Journal, multiple television stations, and W51ÁÔÆæ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Meetings have taken place with leaders of MATC, Marquette University, WCTC, and MSOE.  The focus of these meetings was to explore new avenues for collaboration between institutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Plenary address will be on September 16.  Chancellor Gibson will be highlighting 51ÁÔÆæ accomplishments and laying out his vision for the future.  There will be a reception after the address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The UW System has convened a workgroup to work through the implementation of Act 15 on workload policies.  There will be opportunities for feedback on the draft System policy before it is submitted for approval.  Concerns were raised about the potential consequences to 51ÁÔÆæ if R1 status is lost in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The pay plan has resulted in a 3% increase in salaries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There have also been issues with Workday, and the UC recommended that campus messaging on the Workday issues be improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Enrollment for the Fall semester is projected to be up by 11% for first-year students.  The overall enrollment increase is expected to be approximately 3-3.5%.  However, graduate student enrollment, particularly among international students has declined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
