Background

edit

The Annapolis Group was first organized in early 1993 in Annapolis, Maryland. Its original members included and expanded upon the Oberlin Group which was first organized in 1984.[5] The Annapolis Group was created by the presidents of Franklin & Marshall College, Gettysburg College, and Dickinson College.[6] The group is made up of private colleges and universities, many of which have current or historic ties to mainline Protestant denominations or to Catholic religious orders.
