Brian G. Dowling on 24 Dec 11The Initiative on Triple Bottom Line Development evolved from the College's Social Equity and Opportunity Forum (SEOF). The Forum was established by the Dean in 2007 as a bridging and brokering entity with a mission to elevate visibility and understanding of equity and opportunity issues in the region and facilitate effective response. When we speak of opportunity, we speak of fulfilling potential to thrive in physical, cultural, intellectual, and spiritual terms. When we speak of equity we speak of fairness, within and between generations, in the distribution of access, benefits, and burdens.
