The University of the South will host planning sessions to gather input on how the University might fulfill its mission for future generations of students, specifically in developing a plan for the University Avenue corridor. These meetings are part of the decision-making process laid out recently by the Board of Regents and the Vice Chancellor.
Community members, alumni, faculty, staff and students are welcome to attend. The first meeting will be at 1 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 10, in Convocation Hall. A second session will be at 4:30 p.m., Thursday, November 12, as part of Homecoming weekend for the College. In both, attendees will meet in Convocation Hall, walk along University Avenue toward the Bookstore, and return to Convocation for collaboration and sharing.
Additional gatherings will be held for students and for University employees. An interactive display will be available in McClurg Dining Hall in late October; it will be open for viewing and contributing ideas.
The University Avenue corridor is defined as the area from Georgia Avenue to the Bookstore and Print Services along both sides of the street—including the Rebel’s Rest site, Convocation Hall, the Quad, Fulford Hall, Thompson Union, All Saints’ Chapel, McClurg, the Bookstore, and Chen Hall.
Attendees of the public meetings should come prepared to discuss these questions: Where should the University locate the University Commons? What are the best and most appropriate uses for the University Avenue corridor to serve the long-term interests of the University and its community?
A website with more information will be available soon. For information, contact Eric Hartman by email to <ehartman@sewanee.edu>.
