University of North Georgia (UNG) president Michael P. Shannon gave an update on his "Bold Forward Strategic Big Bets" strategy in a virtual town hall meeting Nov. 29. Over 400 devices were logged on to the event to hear Shannon and other UNG leaders share about current initiatives and projects that lay the foundation and begin to advance the strategy of the Big Bets. He also shared the foundational strengths of UNG that position the university to realize the aspirations of each bet.
Shannon announced the "champion" of each bet who is tasked with leading the planning and implementation of the activities and initiatives that will realize the aspiration of their respective bet:
"The bets will launch July 1 officially although we are off to the races on several of them," Shannon said.
Shortly the team members supporting the Big Bets will be identified and the groups will begin meeting in the Spring semester.
The video of the event can be found here and continual updates will be posted to "Bold Forward Strategic Big Bets."
