Acknowledgements

The Plan for Haverford 2020 draws from a number of previous studies and plans (the Academic Blueprint, the Campus Master Plan, the Middle State Reaccreditation Self Study) and owes a debt of gratitude to the many faculty, staff, students, and friends who shaped that work. This document has been built around contributions from many standing and ad hoc committees of faculty, staff, and students, the senior staff, the Board of Managers, and the many contributors who have participated in the consultative and iterative processes over the past two years.
