Common Ground: Community in Diversity at Smith College

ACTION

In response to qualitative data gathered from focus groups conducted with student, faculty, and staff participants during the summer and fall of 2005, the Common Ground Committees developed the initial round of working recommendations in this report.

The campus community, including all focus group participants, will be offered the opportunity to give feedback on these working recommendations in the late spring and early fall semesters of 2006. The Common Ground Committees plan to revise and refine these recommendations, based on further engagement with members of the campus community, before any final set of initiatives is put forward for the college strategic planning process, in the fall of 2006.

Our hope is that these recommendations will further support the engaged and respected participation of all in the life and work of the college.

The Common Ground Campus and Alumnae Committees call upon the Smith College community to engage with us in supporting access to excellence for all members of the community.
