oPresent Nexus framework
•Activity Establish a Vision
oThe group will review the Nexus Domains: Organizational, Educational, Economic, Social, Cultural, and Physical. Phrases, vision statements, design guidelines, and other ideas from previous plans and meetings have been placed in appropriate domains. oUsing the Nexus Domains as a framework to brainstorm wholistically, the group will brainstorm words, phrases, and sentences that could support the future vision of the Cubberley Master Plan. These ideas will be written down and put into the appropriate domain. The ideas from previous efforts can also be highlighted, removed, or edited. oAfter the initial brainstorm is complete, the group will prioritize ideas into three categories:
Place, Program, and/or Policy. Words, phrases, and other ideas from the outer section will be moved or written again in the grey hexagon.
oFinally, using the shorter, prioritized group of ideas, the group will craft a vision statement for the future Cubberley. Each word, phrase, or idea should be represented in the Draft Vision Statement
