The first of four department fora events was held Feb. 5, 2024, at the Maxine A. Smith Center.  

The fora events are designed to help employees stay aware of what is happening across the college. At each fora session, department heads provide an overview of their department’s roles and share insight about current projects and initiatives. 

February’s event was hosted by Southwest’s Institutional Advancement & Resource Development, Marketing and Communications, and the Institutional Research, Planning & Effectiveness departments.
