Hello Anne,
and welcome to our developing website. Please contact me if you have questions.

Claire Turcotte, project administrator

elcome to SCUP's Campus Heritage Network (CHN), "Planning to ensure the preservation of campus heritage." The network is managed by a team from the Society for College and University Planning: www.scup.org, which is led by Claire Turcotte who is, among other roles, the managing editor of SCUP's journal, "Planning for Higher Education."

This network, SCUP's CHN, is supported by a grant from The Getty Grant Foundation. It is the face of ongoing analysis, led by former SCUP president L. Carole Wharton, of the reports from campuses back to The Getty, of the activities funded by more than $12M of campus-based grants made from 2002-2007.

It is also intended to be the home for anyone with a professional interest in, or responsibility for, the preservation of campus heritage landscapes, sites, buildings, and campus designs. Please use the "Invite" function - http://www.campusheritage.org/main/invitation/new - to share knowledge of CHN with colleagues and peers.

SCUP's CHN runs on a Ning platform, which means that the network is a self-contained collegial (social) network that provides much of the same kind of functionality that you would find on Facebook or LinkedIn.

As a registered member (membership is free) you automatically received your own page in the network, on or through which you are free to share videos or photographs, communicate with other members of the network, post blog entries, engage in Forum discussions, and a host of other things. We hope you do. Much of the value of such a network is in its members and what they choose to share.

With regard to commercial activity in this network, please read SCUP's "Culture Statement." You may use your own page for things like a list of services provided, links to your company website, and so forth. However, when engaging with the network in ways where your actions show up elsewhere in the network (possibilities include blog posts, "wall" comments, Forum posts, sharing of photos and videos), please ensure that such actions are clearly the sharing of useful knowledge and information - not commercial messages or advertisements.
