ROW Day Feb. 29

This week all of us at 69�� are thinking about the future; this coming Monday (Feb. 29) we’re asking all staff to think about the present — to think about the work they do, with an eye toward improving inefficient processes. This Staff Assembly-led initiative, with Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi’s backing, is called “Reimagining Our Work.”
