As part of Metropolitan State University of Denver’s continuous effort to foster open communication and collaboration, Roadrunners have a new avenue to bring their ideas and questions to Larry Sampler, chief operating officer and vice president for Administration. The Lunch With Larry series, which begins March 22, is designed to give students, faculty members and staff members an informal platform to ask questions and provide feedback. The casual lunchtime conversation sessions also give Sampler an opportunity to hear what is most pressing and important to the University community.
Roadrunners are encouraged to send in questions in advance, if possible, or to feel comfortable raising them in the sessions, as Sampler is eager to hear from all corners of the University community.
“One thing I’d like to do more is engage with our community in honest and meaningful ways,” Sampler said. “As far as I’m concerned, these sessions will be ‘safe zones’ where people can speak their minds openly and without worry. I can’t change my mind about things if no one ever challenges me.”
Why attend?
- Stay informed: Receive updates directly from campus leadership about new initiatives, progress on ongoing projects and strategic plans affecting MSU Denver.
- Voice concerns: This is your platform to bring forward concerns, suggestions or feedback directly to the senior administration.
- Ask questions: Curious about certain decisions or plans? This is a perfect opportunity to seek clarification and gain deeper insights.
- Network and connect: Meet colleagues from across the campus, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.
How to attend
Lunch With Larry will be held periodically on Fridays, offering a flexible way for Roadrunners to engage with campus leadership.
Sessions will vary between virtual and in-person meetings to accommodate MSU Denver’s diverse community and ensure that everyone has a chance to participate. Roadrunners are welcome to bring their lunch.
