Meetings will help set UH strategy

Get-togethers will be held on all campuses in the system to chart the university's future

The University of Hawaii is holding a series of meetings on all campuses through November as it revises its strategic plan.

"Our UH system strategic plan provides a strong vision to which we can aspire, but as we move into our second century, we need to take another look at how best to position the university to meet the needs of the state," said UH President David McClain in a news release.

The UH System Strategic Plan, 2002-2010, was one of the first initiatives by former UH President Evan Dobelle.

The university says it is working on creating an area on the Web site where comments can be posted in a bulletin board format.
