We invite you
to write us a letter addressing any or all of the following:
(1) What do
you believe have been or are today the most important strengths
of Earlham -- strengths we want to appreciate and sustain?
(2) What do
you believe are the most important changes in the world around
us that we need to take into account --changes, for example,
in our students, in strategies for learning and teaching, or in
the resources we may be able to draw upon?
(3) What do
you believe are the most important efforts we should make to
strengthen current programs or practices?
(4) Are there
new programs or practices we should initiate?
We invite you
to write us in response to any of these questions, or all four,
or frame and answer your own question. We simply ask you to write
us about your views regarding what Earlham College needs to understand
about itself and the world around us today, and what it needs to
do in order to be as effective a college as we can be. What
should we take as our foundations? And what should we be building
upon those foundations?
We’d be
happy to receive quite brief responses as well as longer ones. We
are not going to grade them and will be grateful for any response
you care to send. Please do mention your relationship(s) to Earlham:
Student (class of?), faculty, staff, alumna/us (class of?), parent
(class of?), etc. You can mail these responses to:
Strategic
Planning Committee
Office of the President
Drawer 191
Earlham College
Richmond
IN 47374
Or you can
send e-mail to planning@earlham.edu
These letters will
be most helpful in our process if we receive them by December
1.
