Undergraduate Studies Committees and Learning Pods Make Significant Contributions

February 2022

Undergraduate Studies has enjoyed activities and events hosted by our internal committees. The Celebrations, Professional Development, and Diversity committees brought creative ways to involve the staff, introduced different culture's celebrations, and shared the career progressions of OneUSF Undergraduate Studies leaders. We are thankful for the committee members who have dedicated their time and energy to the planning and execution of these and so many other activities. The Undergraduate Studies staff were able to meet, connect, and build on current working relationships, as well as learn from one another.

As part of the Undergraduate Studies strategic planning process, six learning pods were created. These pods assisted in evaluating strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats from external and internal viewpoints. These teams made significant contributions to the ongoing strategic planning process.

Doing committee work and participation in the Learning Pods requires commitment and effort outside of normal work activities and the side benefit of contributing to the growth of the Undergraduate Studies community. We are grateful to the following staff for their meaningful contributions:
