SEMO REGENTS TO DISCUSS SCHEDULE OF PLANNING HEARINGS

Strategic planning will be discussed Saturday at a meeting of the Southeast Missouri State University Board of Regents in St. Louis County.

The regents will seek to settle on a schedule of open forums to be held in various cities throughout the school's 24-county service area. The forums, part of the school's efforts to develop a strategic plan, tentatively are set to begin Sept. 26 and end the first week of October.

The regents will meet at 2 p.m. at the Frontenac Hilton Hotel.

The location was chosen largely because a President's Council dinner will be held there Saturday night. Regents will attend the dinner, which honors Southeast donors who have contributed at least $10,000 individually or $25,000 at the corporate level.
