Your input is an important part of this process and will help inform the College\u2019s understanding of current needs, opportunities,   and long-term priorities. As the project moves into its next phase, Baker Tilly will continue analyzing information gathered through campus engagement, institutional documents and data, and peer benchmarking before preparing key themes and recommendations   for College leadership. Watch for an email from Dean of the College and COO Pedro de Araujo in the coming weeks with more information about next steps, including how and when takeaways will be shared with the campus community.  <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"divider_block block-10\" role=\"presentation\" style=\"mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"pad\">\n<div align=\"center\" class=\"alignment\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" role=\"presentation\" style=\"mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"divider_inner\" style=\"font-size:1px;line-height:1px;border-top:2px solid #bbb\">  <span style=\"word-break: break-word;\">\u200a<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"heading_block block-11\" role=\"presentation\" style=\"mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"pad\">\n<h2 style=\"margin:0;color:#000;direction:ltr;font-family:Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:20px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:1.5;text-align:left;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;mso-line-height-alt:30px\">  <strong>Institutional Policy Administration<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"paragraph_block block-12\" role=\"presentation\" style=\"mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;word-break:break-word\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"pad\">\n<div style=\"color:#000;direction:ltr;font-family:Arial,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0;line-height:1.5;text-align:left;mso-line-height-alt:24px\">\n<p style=\"margin:0\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/t.e2ma.net\/click\/jwqnbk\/nr5ib5j\/bef4nw\" style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #4764ae;\">  College Policies and Procedures webpage<\/a> has been updated to include a revised policy timeline and Policy Resources section to better support those developing new policies or revising existing ones.
