The group spent much time\nlooking at different models and brainstorming options. To fulfill their charge,\nthey sought to be both sensitive to Evergreen\u2019s budget situation, yet aware of\nour campus climate and the need for strategic and coordinated communications in\nthese immense times of change. They recognized that Evergreen needs to ensure\nbroad understanding of and engagement with many critical issues: our ongoing\nwork with Covid-19, welcoming a new college president in the months ahead,\nimplementing new academic directions, and other pressing college\npriorities.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based\non these factors, the group\u2019s thoughtful recommendations, and the need to rely\non existing resources in supporting this effort, we are dedicating part of\nAndrew Beattie\u2019s time to serve as Evergreen\u2019s Internal Communications Liaison. With the goal of strengthening important information flow\nthroughout the college, Andrew will work to develop, facilitate, and implement\ninternal communications specifically targeted for students, staff, and faculty.\nHaving a keen sense of how to inspire and engage Evergreen\u2019s various internal\naudiences, Andrew will design and share communications that build trust,\nfoster collaboration, and enhance dialog across all the college\u2019s divisions. He will continue his work on the presidential\nsearch while also taking on these internal communications duties, through the\nend of June 2021. At that time, we will explore next steps.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have asked the Marketing and Communications Office to oversee\nthis work for the next six months. The cross-divisional group recognized there\nare synergies with oversight by Marketing and Communications, as Andrew will\ncollaborate with a cohort of communications experts. The collaboration will\nhelp ensure many of the messages developed by marketing and Communications for\nexternal stakeholders are shared internally with students, faculty, and staff.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many\nthanks to the cross-divisional group for their thoughtful deliberations and\nrecommendations for how to move Evergreen forward. I am certain you would agree\nthat strategic, deliberate, and cohesive communications for our campus\ncommunity will be of great benefit moving forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>George&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From: Evergreen President&#8217;s Office &lt;president@evergreen.edu&gt; Date: Friday, January 15, 2021 at 11:30 AM Dear Campus Community,&nbsp; Thank you to all&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4996,"featured_media":1714,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_s2mail":"yes"},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2421"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4996"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2421"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2421\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2423,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2421\/revisions\/2423"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
