UME Town Hall Sessions
The University of Maryland Extension is embarking on a strategic planning process to develop a stakeholder-driven plan, granting the university’s faculty, staff, students, leadership, and community partners an opportunity to contribute to the institution’s future success. To produce a specialized strategic plan that is consistent with the broader objectives of the University of Maryland, we will prioritize strategies that will uplift our community and complement UMD initiatives.
As we move through the strategic planning process, we will routinely provide status updates and information on engagement opportunities. We invite you to regularly return to this page to stay updated on the process.
