<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt">We will be focusing on both technical aspects of the work in program mapping sessions alongside the adaptive change work required to sustain this work. We have continued building in a significant amount of
time in the agenda for college teams to work together on plans focused on continuous reflection on how students’ are experiencing the college systems and structures, so as you consider who to bring, keep this in mind.

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This retreat has been constructed with your feedback and incorporates space for reflection on what is happening on the ground, and most importantly, how we are building equity muscles to continue to fundamentally change the construction
process of systems building toward an improved student experience designed to close equity gaps. As part of that design, we have attempted to create space for teams to challenge their thinking and consider what is required for cultural change parallel to
the technical changes identified as priorities in the coming year. We are excited to reconnect and learn together in January, and as always, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I look forward to seeing everyone in the New Year,<o:p></o:p></p>
