Following on last week鈥檚 Academic Futures update, Senior Vice Chancellor Kelly Fox听and Provost Russell Moore today announced that CU 麻豆影院鈥檚 Financial Futures initiative has completed its diagnostic phase to identify opportunities for resource generation in support of Academic Futures and other key strategic initiatives.

鈥淢embers of our community did excellent investigatory work throughout the diagnostic process, and collectively we鈥檝e identified a set of opportunities, or workstreams, that support the university鈥檚 core mission and strategic initiatives鈥擜cademic Futures, Foundations of Excellence, the IDEA Plan and Strategic Facilities Visioning,鈥� said Fox.

Fox said the workstream areas 鈥減rovide many opportunities for financial innovation that can help create more resources to fuel the campus鈥檚 most innovative ideas.鈥�

The workstreams include areas such as procurement, gifts and executive and extended education, among many others.

Moore said the next phase of Financial Futures, solution design, will require 鈥渢he creative energy and input of our faculty, staff and students.鈥�

鈥淭heir ideas, experiences and innovations will be the measure of effectiveness of the workstream projects,鈥� Moore said.

Moore said he and Fox are grateful to Interim Senior Vice Provost Ann Schmiesing and Deputy CFO Carla Ho-a for their strong leadership of Financial Futures this semester and for the stakeholder meetings they鈥檝e run all semester long.

Moving forward, the Financial Futures team will be hosting a series of town halls that will give an overview of the past semester鈥檚 activities, outline the workstreams and who will lead them, preview next steps in the solution design phase and solicit further community participation.

The initial town hall will take place Dec. 17 in the Glenn Miller Ballroom from 11 a.m. to noon. Recognizing the lateness in the semester for this date, we will also host town halls on Jan. 25, Jan. 30 and on additional dates through the spring semester.

鈥淭his spring, we will seek ongoing community input and engagement on Financial Futures workstream projects through town halls, listening sessions and requests for ideas,鈥� said Fox. 鈥淭hese opportunities will coincide with and be tied to updates on Academic Futures and our other strategic initiatives.鈥�

Input will also be solicited and updates will be shared via the Financial Futures website鈥攚here an overview video is now posted鈥攁nd through regular initiative updates in CU 麻豆影院 Today.

鈥淔inancial Futures is the resource engine that will enable us to invest in our academic vision, and that makes this phase an exciting opportunity for our community,鈥� Fox said.
