BPT Invites Alumni Feedback on Concept Paper

Date: 4/1/2009 to 4/15/2009
The Concept Paper & Business Plan was respectfully submitted in November of 2008 to the Great Lakes Colleges Association and to Antioch University. It was intended to serve as an element of the process and plans necessary to secure separation of Antioch College from Antioch University. Subsequently, it has also been used as a fundraising tool. It is a simple blueprint and as such it can only partially represent the full aspirations of the Board Pro Tempore for the future of Antioch  College.
