2002-2003 RWU Presidential Fellowship Report: Campus Planning<br />
7. Conservation / Stewardship<br />
The cyclical nature of this process is increasingly<br />
recognized by requirements of governmental and<br />
accreditation authorities. However, without the<br />
commitment and participation of all members of the<br />
campus community it is hard to make the tough choices and<br />
sacrifices that are often called for in the implementation<br />
and maintenance of a shared vision. If we say that we value<br />
something we must be willing to commit the resources and<br />
energy to make it possible. Sacrifices will only create<br />
resentment unless the vision is a shared one that is<br />
communicated consistently and effectively. A<br />
representative Master Planning Committee serves a vital<br />
symbolic and real practical function in shaping a shared<br />
vision, in aiding in the consistency of its implementation<br />
and in maintaining the continuity of valued assets and<br />
principles. The stewardship of the Campus environment is<br />
a task that takes constant vigilance and involves the<br />
following basic tasks:<br />
• Identify and maintain key assets<br />
• Evaluate changing needs<br />
• Maintain Values / Principles<br />
