Acknowledgements

The Association of Canadian Community Colleges (ACCC) and Human Resources and Social Development Canada wish to acknowledge the contribution made by Presidents and staff in 116 Canadian colleges and institutes who took time from a busy schedule to support this study. Without their cooperation this research would, obviously, not have been possible.

Particular thanks are extended to the members of the project Research Design Advisory Panel who worked long hours debating the relative merits of items and words to create questionnaires of exceptional quality. Their combined intellect and skill are manifest in this study as well as the Pan-Canadian Study of Exemplary Practices in College Learning. Members of the Vice Presidents Advisory Panel were also indispensable in recruiting institutional participation in this project.

Sincerest thanks are due to Peter Dietsche, Principal Investigator of this study for the extensive hours spent on the development of the study, the analysis of the enormous amounts of data generated by the two surveys and the tireless efforts at encouraging participation in this study. ACCC's Member Services and Public Policy Division assumed the lead in the preparation of this publication, with significant contributions from Anna Toneguzzo, Senior Policy Research Officer, Pascale Larouche, Administrative Coordinator and Debby Wilson, Information Services Officer.
