VISION of a community. With the Farinon College Center and the Williams Center for the Arts In the coming decade, Lafayette expects to as hubs of activity, the College will foster an strengthen its position among liberal arts atmosphere characterized by a diversity of colleges and engineering programs of the opportunities for participation, volunteer first rank; through judicious commitment of service, and student leadership. It will offer its considerable resources, it seeks to an expanding array of living options that advance the quality of its students, its encourage healthy relations between women faculty, and its programs. Lafayette will and men and provide an environment that continue to enroll students who show encourages personal growth. It will also evidence not only of academic achievement continue to increase opportunities for but of intellectual curiosity, and who show students of color and to work to achieve promise of becoming engaged citizens greater racial and ethnic diversity among within and beyond the College community. students, faculty, and staff. It will continue to recruit and support a Members of the Lafayette community have faculty of teacher/scholars of high quality always believed in working together to who see undergraduate teaching as their create a College that they and others value; primary goal and who are committed to their collective commitment for the coming scholarship and to an active professional life. years is to extend and enhance the value of Lafayette will continue to shape its academic the Lafayette experience and the prestige of program with the goal of assuring that a the Lafayette College degree. clear, consistent, and demanding curriculum is in place for all students, requiring study in the arts, the sciences, and technology, and HISTORY encouraging such study beyond the introductory level. In addition, it will On Christmas Eve 1824, the Easton Centinel continue to work toward greater integration carried a notice calling upon residents of of A.B. and B.S. programs so that all Northampton County "friendly to the students may be the beneficiaries not only of establishment of a COLLEGE at Easton" to specialized inquiry but of connected, meet three days later at White's Hotel on interdisciplinary inquiry as well. And it will Center Square.

As part of its for his interest in mineralogy and botany, the commitment, Lafayette will seek ways to assembled citizens worked out a plan for a assure that ethical studies are a regular college "combining a course of practical component of each student's course of study.

Today, Lafayette enrolls about 2,400 students. In their original petition, the planners of the College had cited mathematics as an example of their educational philosophy. LAFAYETTE TODAY "Such branches will be selected and so pursued, as will not only discipline the mind, Lafayette College focuses exclusively on and induce habits of patient investigation, undergraduate programs. It grants the but also directly subserve the purposes of Bachelor of Arts degree in 31 established life." That sound principle animated much of major fields and the Bachelor of Science in the subsequent curricular development at nine fields of science and four of Lafayette—as, indeed, it does today. engineering.

INTRODUCTION many manifestations. These include but are not limited to race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and place of origin. The College recognizes that we live in an increasingly interconnected, globalized world and that students benefit from learning in educational and social contexts, in which there are participants from all manner of backgrounds. The goal is to encourage students to consider diverse experiences and perspectives throughout their lives. All members of the College community share a responsibility for creating, maintaining, and developing a learning environment in which difference is valued, equity is sought, and inclusiveness is practiced. It is a mission of the College to advance diversity as defined above. The College will continue to assess its progress in a timely manner in order to ensure that its diversity initiatives are effective.
