The Planning Committee will revise the current draft of the themes after reviewing the community input from the electronic comments and on-campus discussions. We hope to distribute a revised draft of the Strategic Plan by Friday May 3, 2013. There will be opportunities to comment on the revised draft on campus and electronically. If you have any questions about the planning process or would like to contribute additional ideas to the Committee, please email Dr. John Hoffman, Project Manager, at hoffmanj@arcadia.edu.
