Acknowledgments
Creating Charting Your Own Course was truly a community effort. This resource exists today thanks to the work, energy, and creativity of multiple communities of collaborators, whom we have listed below.
The resource was originally envisioned and developed by a dedicated team of educators and CRHE team members, including Jennifer Damashek, Dawn Haptonstahl, Christine Abrahams, Dr. Chelsea McCracken, and Cameron Etchart. After several years of careful development, a writing team comprised of CRHE team members, listed below, created Version 1. Version was reviewed by Chelsea McCracken, Dawn Haptonstahl, and Jennifer Damashek.
In addition to the development and writing teams, we owe our great thanks to Jessica Dulaney and Angela Grimberg for providing invaluable feedback and vision-building to the project.
