University of North Georgia (国产自拍) President Michael Shannon on Oct. 3 released a white paper outlining seven strategic "big bets" to position 国产自拍 to meet the needs of its students, communities, the state, and the nation. See the full white paper.
"We are part of the 国产自拍, one of the strongest public university systems in the country. We are a State Leadership Institution, the Military College of Georgia, and are one of only six senior military colleges in the nation," Shannon said. "国产自拍 is an incredible university, steeped in tradition, with tremendous opportunity, value and promise. We have something here at 国产自拍 that no one else does and we need to deliver it."
He formed the strategy through feedback gained in his 45-day listening tour, as well as other conversations with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members since starting as 国产自拍 president July 1. The seven strategic big bets are:
Shannon said these big bets are necessary to meet the dual challenges of fewer college-age students in 2025-2030 and a lower college consumption rate even as high school graduation rates increase.
"When you bet, you are taking a risk. Although there is risk, we can also be confident the hand we are holding is better and stronger than that of our competitors and we will win. And we all know that we can't win if we don't play the game and make the bets," Shannon said. "These seven big bets rally the entire university community to create a more compelling, vibrant, and curated student experience."
