Higher Learning Commission Visits Campus for Open Forums and Drop-In Sessions

News Office Staff / Oct 30, 2018

All members of the college community are invited and encouraged to participate in the site visit on Nov. 5-6.

During the Higher Learning Commission’s site visit on November 5–6, the visiting team will offer Open Forums and Drop-in Sessions. All members of the college community are invited and encouraged to participate.
 
The Open Forums will cover HLC’s  and are intended to be listening sessions that engage the participants with questions, encourage candid commentary, and probe for participant opinions, observations, and evidence in relationship to the Criteria. The two Drop-in Sessions are intended to be more informal and allow participants to ask questions on a specific accreditation-related topic. RSVPs are not needed for the Open Forums or Drop-in Sessions.
