Register to attend the VC’s 2025 Strategy Town Hall – 9 January 2025

On Thursday 9 January at 13:00-14:30, the Vice-Chancellor will begin his 2025 series of Strategy Town Halls with an online open meeting for all staff.  Colleagues from all parts of the University are warmly invited to register to attend this meeting, which provides the opportunity to come together to hear the Vice-Chancellor’s annual update on our Strategy and our current position, and to ask questions, share ideas, and align on the vision and goals that will shape our future. 

The Vice-Chancellor, Mark E. Smith, sits in a light seminar room, with his arms folded on the table in front of him. He is wearing a suit and tie and is smiling at the camera.

Register to attend

Up to 1000 people can attend this meeting in real-time, which will include a 45 minute update from the Vice-Chancellor, followed by 45 minutes of Q&A. The presentation will be recorded for those unable to attend, and this will be shared on SUSSED promptly following the meeting. 

Following this initial Strategy update session, the Vice-Chancellor will hold online meetings with each School and with grouped Professional Services, to provide a further opportunity for colleagues to speak directly with him and raise any topics they may wish to discuss, from a local perspective. 

Why attend? 

Joining the online open meeting enables you to hear directly from our Vice-Chancellor, Professor Mark E. Smith, about the direction, goals and progress for our University’s future. 

Your insights and feedback are invaluable, and this is also your chance to share ideas, ask questions, gain a greater understanding of where we’re headed as an organisation and the context in which we are operating, and understand the decisions made by leadership to implement our strategy.  

Prefer to watch with colleagues? 

If you have a hybrid meeting room in your area, you may wish to join together with a group of colleagues to watch in real-time. If so, we suggest you register only one person to attend using the link above, and join the meeting from your hybrid meeting room.
