SWAG视频 completes successful NEASC accreditation; sends representatives to present at workshop
The SWAG视频 recently completed a highly successful comprehensive review by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), the regional accrediting agency for all colleges and universities in New England. NEASC is responsible to the U.S. Department of Education for confirmation and documentation of the performance of colleges and universities and conducts an evaluation of each institution for quality assurance purposes every ten years.
Ellen Beaulieu, vice president for Strategic Initiatives and Communications, works closely with the NEASC Commission and staff, as do many of the SWAG视频 faculty, professional staff and administration. SWAG视频 individuals and teams serve in evaluating peer institutions, guiding policy adoption and participating in the NEASC annual session and various workshops each year.
This week, Beaulieu and Margaret Moremen, director of the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment, traveled to Southbridge, Massachusetts, at the invitation of NEASC to give educational presentations to administrators of universities preparing for comprehensive accreditation visits. The topics of the talks included 鈥淎ctions and Plans to Consider for a Successful Institutional Evaluation鈥 and 鈥淭he Importance of Using Valid Data as Evidence.鈥 Interim Provost Mike Sheldon and Research Strategist Holly Parker collaborated with Beaulieu and Moremen on the presentation topics, themes and content.
