RSE Alumni Work Weekend - July 2021
Fri, Jul 16, 2021 - Sun, Jul 18, 2021 |
RSE Alumni convened virtually in the February 2021 Retreat to discuss the progress on RSE 3.0, RSE’s strategic plan. Over 80 alumni registered for the retreat and over 50 attended the Saturday February 20, 2021 four hour discussion.
The first half of the meeting centered around the current progress of the Alumni Advisory Committee (AAC) and the RSE Trustees current interaction with the Rensselaer Administration. The ten (10) AAC work team leads outlined the status of the RSE 3.0 plan including the detailed mission and activities of RSE 3.0. Specific areas included several plans for new member recruitment and education, student house operations, alumni support, Rensselaer Administration interactions, financial structure, 1501 Sage Ave facility updates, a large-scale capital plan as well as an RSE 3.0 governance structure.
The second half of the meeting focused on feedback discussions with the alumni regarding the draft RSE 3.0 plan. Substantial discussions of the key issues facing the RSE 3.0 plan produced several significant takeaways from the alumni including:
The AAC has documented this and other feedback and is now incorporating this into the RSE 3.0 plan. The focus over the next 60-90 days will be in four areas:
More to come on each of these areas in future communications. The AAC’s goal is to bring the RSE 3.0 plan to the Spring Society and Trustee meeting on April 24th, 2021 for approval.
Thank you to those that participated in the Retreat and those members who have reached out to us individually. Your feedback and involvement is critical to the success of RSE 3.0.
As always, feel free to contact me or any of the AAC members if you have any comments or questions.
TSIMS,
