Perhaps the most active committee during the past two years has been the
Curriculum Committee. One of the Committee's formal charges is to
oversee the curriculum. As such, the Committee developed comparative

There has also been an active Ad-hoc Strategic Planning Committee. This
group of faculty reviewed the key document for self-assessment, the
Program's Strategic Planning Initiative. In addition, the mission and 'vision'
statements have been a point of discussion, allowing the faculty's
representatives to discuss the intentions and direction of the School of
Architecture.
