=== <span style="font-size: medium">Strategic Priorities 2020</span> ===
<span style="font-size: medium">Strategy #1: Creating community by increasing interdisciplinary programs and events that incorporate a wider range of knowledge.
</span>
<span style="font-size: medium">Reaching out to OSD and propose a virtual or in-person event when all disciplines are welcome to showcase their field. </span>
<span style="font-size: medium">Strategy #2: Increase communication between professors and students regarding research opportunities and events </span>
<span style="font-size: medium">There is a lack of communication regarding professor's outside endeavors and research that could be more beneficial for students and connecting them to other professionals in their field.
</span>
<span style="font-size: medium">Strategy #3: Facilitate all of the information regarding campus organizations and club events into one, simple, easy access hub or app. </span>
<span style="font-size: medium">Reach out to key stakeholders on campus (James Mustich, Provost Wheeler) and propose the idea for an all-inclusive app that allows clubs to post their events for that week and allow for interaction of students and convenience in seeing all events happening on campus.</span>
