<p>Dear All,</p>
<p>The Principal's Engagement Sessions 2018-19 have been taking
place on a department by department basis over the past few months.
The date and time of the Physics session has now been set as <b>Monday
4th March, 9.30am-10.30am</b>. A location will be identified
early next week. Meanwhile, please mark this date and time in your
diary. The Department Committee meeting originally scheduled to
start at 10am will start after the session finishes (~10.30am).<br>
</p>
<p>The session will include a talk by the Principal on University
level highlights over the past year or so, plus the ‘Strathclyde
2025’ vision. The Dean will talk about Faculty highlights and
ambitions, and I will briefly highlight elements of the
Department's strategy and ambitions. This will be followed by a
group Q&A. Back at the beginning of November, all departments
were asked to submit a two page summary document on their
ambitions, strengths, challenges and performance, to inform the
discussion. I attach the two page document for Physics, together
with the relevant slides from the discussion of the ‘Strathclyde
2025’ vision at our Department Committee meeting held on 5th
December.<br>
</p>
<p>I encourage everyone to participate in this event and to read the
attached documents in advance. The session is open to all staff in
the Department and is an opportunity to engage with the Principal
and Dean on matters affecting our performance and ambitions.</p>
<p>Catherine will inform you of the venue as soon as it is known.</p>
<p>Best wishes,</p>
<p>Paul </p>
