University of Maryland, College of Agriculture & Natural Resources Seeks Input on How It Can Help Shape Your Future
College conducts state-wide strategic visioning process, a comprehensive project designed to identify trends and issues affecting our society, state, and industries.
CLINTON, MD - The College of Agriculture and Natural Resources is embarking on a  comprehensive visioning process to determine how we can best serve the  State and its citizens. This is an all-inclusive process, designed to  encompass all three legs of our land grant mission. 

As a key member of our community your participation is integral, and we're hoping to hear from you at one of our upcoming Listening Sessions. We are having four statewide Listening Sessions, with one in our area being held at the  Patuxent River 4-H Center at 18405 Queen Anne Rd., Upper Marlboro on  April 4, 2017.  The event will run from  5:30- 8:30 pm  and we will be providing
light refreshments.

Sessions will be tightly organized by select facilitators.  The session will offer you the unique opportunity to share thoughts on many facets of the college. The facilitators will provide feedback at the end of the session about the key themes emerging from the group.  All the data collected will be considered as we work to shape the future of our college.

I have included a  letter from Dean Beyrouty outlining your importance as part of this process. You can register for a Listening Session using this link to register right now.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  I can be reached at  410 222-3906 or email at  [email protected].

Thank you for your contributions to the college and I look forward to seeing you at the Listening Session.


Best regards,
