PAU Week of Welcome

PAU Opening Day brings faculty and staff together to launch the academic year with a shared purpose and momentum. We'll bring our strategic plan to life through collaborative activities, explore how each of us contributes to PAU's new mission and vision, and close with time to reconnect and celebrate as a community.

Our strategic planning session will be facilitated by EAB, which will be providing us with national, data-driven insights and proven frameworks to help shape our institution's future goals and operational success. To prepare for the day's activities, we ask that you take a moment to review two items in advance. EAB's State of the Sector: Navigating Upheaval on Four Fronts and review the video broadcast at the bottom of EAB's Higher Education Stands at an Inflection Point website. 

Date: Wednesday, September 9, 2026
Time:  8:30 AM – 5:00 PM PDT
Location: Mountain View Community Center
Breakfast and Lunch will be provided.
