The vision expressed in this Plan is the result of considerable self-‐study and reflection. It takes into account the history and mission of the College in articulating its ambitions for students who seek an undergraduate education unlike any other. But for all its unique qualities that set it apart from virtually every other setting in higher education, Haverford does not exist apart: we are one strand in the fiber of many societies, literal and virtual. Our Plan for what will happen here must also take into account ‘there’: the milieu from which our students are drawn, and the communities into which they will graduate.
