ENVIRONMENTAL SELF-STUDY
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND BIBLIOGRAPHY
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Even though these names appear near the end of this report, it is very important to know that this study would never have started without the support and dedication of each one of these people from the beginning. We hesitate even to attempt to list the many people who were so eager to assist in our effort simply because we do not want to inadvertently leave someone out.
While we have listed the names of the people who assisted in writing and editing this report separately, the level of excellence which we feel we have achieved would have not been possible if it were not for every single person who did "anything at all" to help us complete this report. It was the countless number of meetings and conversations with so many people throughout the entire summer which helped to shape this Self-Study and turn it into a living document which will be used for future campus planning.
We also want to give a very well deserved thank you to all of the people who were there for us to literally "run to" during the summer with an almost infinite number of logistical set backs and last minute edits. Perhaps the next thank you goes to you! After it is all said and done, and after every page has been written and edited six times, we need to thank you for reading it.
We hope you enjoyed this Self-Study and learned at least as much as we did while writing it. Again, it is a modest understatement to say the least, but we hope that you all can accept our deepest and most sincere thanks in our common effort to improve our environment.
