Reach Higher Foresight Sessions are planned for March 26-28.

Students, faculty and staff are invited to participate in future-focused sessions to generate insights and ideas that will enhance the next version of the Reach Higher strategy. 

Informed by strategic foresight methods, these sessions will include activities to identify and explore external factors, such as political, economic, social and technological trends that could shape Grand Valley’s approach to the future. Two of these sessions will focus specifically on academic visioning, open to all, with an emphasis on teaching, learning and research within the context of Reach Higher. 

Snacks will be provided. Students who attend a full session will receive a $10 campus dining gift card, redeemable at all campus dining locations, including Starbucks.
