This draft plan is intended as an internal document to help our faculty,administration, alumni, and current students clarify who we are and where we are going. This plan when finalized will exist in one form for our daily practical use and will be crafted in content and style to meet the needs of various external constituencies (prospective students, parents, foundations and corporations, high school counselors, etc.).
