| What should we tell applicants for this committee regarding expectations of members (anticipated workload, existence of subcommittees, etc.)? | The Campus Planning Committee (CPC) provides advice and feedback to the Campus Planning and Development office. The CPC works via regular, open meetings, occurring approximately once monthly. In addition, a work session may be scheduled, contingent on need. The work sessions provide needed feedback on time sensitive issues, ongoing review of multi-stage projects, and facilitate a more detailed consideration of complicated proposals. Participation in work session meetings is by invitation only. All major campus planning initiatives are presented at the regular meetings of the CPC. Prospective members of the Campus Planning Committee bring experience and interest in serving as a voice for enhancing the functional, aesthetic, environmental, and sustainable character and features of the campus and representing the perspectives of the UI community across campus geographies, roles, and needs. |
