I was told there was a livestream so I chose to attend that instead of in person (I'm on east campus). Unfortunately while the livestream link existed, it didn't work, so I missed it.

I'm a new employee at CU and the panel discussion was a great in-person orientation to the Future Forward Initiatives. It's one thing to read about them and another to hear from the leaders. Great way to start. And the speaker was awesome. I'm an agile practitioner and it was great to hear and see data-driven conclusions about the benefits of the agile mindset as applied to learning, achieving positive outcomes and professional growth and development.

I found the speaker very engaging. The panel was rote (as planned, I assume). The big disconnect is that the panel didn't address or integrate or reflect on or (..... ) the principle ideas of the speaker. It felt like two separate things (maybe the speaker was sweetener to draw more people in to the panel?)
All in all, the ideas of Ms. McGowin are compelling. I'd love to see how our leadership sees and prepares to respond to those changes. (to give credit, the panel DID speak to responding to the inequality of resources among students, and how two programs are doing things differently when considering admission).
In summation: it was inspiring, and drew me forward. I want more. (more forward looking, more change in reflection and responsiveness to the changing world around us).
