If anyone has questions about this initiative please email me or Liz Robinson.

This started, as Ron said in the release, with a year long study of Middlebury's peer group. The questions we asked were simply how are creativitiy and innovation being addressed at liberal arts colleges in the 21st century. As this topic is at the heart of why one goes to a liberal arts college, were there things that could be done in the current environmnent to stimulate and develop innovative thinking in students. I could not be more supportive of your President in taking such a pro-active approach to this area.
