Has the institution adopted a framework for community stakeholder engagement in governance, strategy and operations?:
A brief description of the policies and procedures that ensure community stakeholder engagement is applied systematically and regularly across the institution’s activities:
Haverford is small enough, its culture is more human than bureaucratic, that its interactions with its external stakeholders are scaled accordingly and policies/procedures are adapted to specific situations. The largest populations of external stakeholders--alumni and parents-- have more formalized channels into the College's processes, e.g. the Alumni Association. Consortial partners (other colleges) have established governance processes.
A brief description of how the institution identifies and engages community stakeholders, including any vulnerable or underrepresented groups:
Per the above, the scale of such activities is manageable enough that we can do this on a human scale. For example, our security personnel know the local emergency services providers. We know most of our immediate campus neighbors. Most stakeholder relations are managed on a personal level or with the most relevant campus departments. Partner NGOs work with specific offices on campus. The rare capital project that affects off-campus residents, like lights on a playing field, is managed through personal relations and is under the supervision of local permitting authorities.
List of identified community stakeholders:
Neighbors
Haverford Township
Lower Merion Township
Employers (of our graduates)
Consortial partners
Quaker organizations
Local group of schools and hospitals
Alumni

Arboretum Association
A brief description of successful community stakeholder engagement outcomes from the previous three years:
Haverford participated with a group of local schools and hospitals in Lower Merion Township's master planning process leading to better alignment of zoning and land-use policies with residential and economic development priorities.
The College worked with neighbors to improve the appearance of adjacent College properties.
The College worked with local municipal offices and businesses to host a major golf tournament leading to area economic development.
