As an institution accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (HLC), Wooster’s accreditation status is reaffirmed every ten years.\u00a0 Our next reaffirmation will occur in late Spring 2013.\u00a0 In preparation, we have begun a process of self-study which will last through late fall 2012.<\/p>\n
Our self-study has two objectives: to demonstrate to the HLC that Wooster fulfills the Commission\u2019s \u201cCriteria for Accreditation\u201d and to advance our strategic objective of \u201cSustaining our Momentum for the Long Term.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Our strategic planning work for 2011-12 will focus on commencing “the Higher Learning Commission reaccreditation self-study, a comprehensive assessment process that will have us prove that we are advancing our mission, that we are true to our core values, and that we are achieving our strategic objectives by demonstrating how we meet the Commission\u2019s criteria for accreditation. ”\u00a0 In this process, we will consider every aspect of Wooster, engaging students, faculty, staff, alumni, trustees, parents, and the broader community in the process.<\/p>\n
This is our website.\u00a0 We will post updates on our progress, as well as information about the self-study process.\u00a0 And occasionally, we might blog a bit about the experience, or tweet.<\/p>\n
To everyone who is, or will be, working on the project,\u00a0 our thanks.<\/p>\n
