February 2024 Update

Drafts of the self-study chapters were submitted earlier this month, marking a significant milestone towards accreditation. These submissions are now with the SSLT (Self-Study Leadership Team), who will diligently review and provide feedback by early March. This review will be instrumental in refining our self-study and ensuring its alignment with the highest standards of quality and transparency.

Ways to Get Involved:

  • Learn more about the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) process and its significance at an upcoming all-college meeting in April. This presentation will offer valuable insights into our progress and opportunities for growth.

  • Review the draft documents during the comprehensive review process in early April. This critical phase will provide the college community with an opportunity to carefully examine the content, identify areas for improvement, and submit constructive feedback and suggestions. By engaging in this collaborative endeavor, we reaffirm our commitment to continuous enhancement across our institution.
