Today, we welcome our Middle States Commission on Higher Education evaluation team on the first of their three days on campus assessing MCC as part of our reaccreditation process. If you happen to encounter the team, please welcome them to our College. (Their biographies and photos are attached.)
The team of eight community college leaders from the Northeast region will meet with MCC employees and students today and Tuesday (March 14-15) to gather additional information as a follow-up on MCC’s self-study report <
https://www.monroecc.edu/go/middlestates> . The focus of their work is to determine whether MCC meets Middle States’ 14 standards of excellence.
The team’s schedule is available on our Planning/Middle States web page <
https://www.monroecc.edu/go/middlestates> . Please know that the team’s needs and interests may evolve during their visit, requiring changes to the schedule and flexibility on our part. Thank you in advance for accommodating their needs as best as you are able.
Several sessions provide an opportunity for MCC community members to engage with the evaluation team. I encourage you to attend if your schedule allows:
-- Open sessions are scheduled at each MCC site. It’s a Q-and-A format with Evaluation Team Chair Dr. Quintin Bullock asking questions to seek participants’ responses.
DCC – 2:00 pm, March 14, Room 4151
Brighton – 8:30 am, March 15, Warshof Conference Center, Flynn Campus Center (Monroe A/B)
ATC – 10:30 am, March 15, Room 104
PSTF – 2:00 pm, March 15, STEP Conference Room 100E
-- On Wednesday, March 16, Dr. Bullock will deliver a report at 10:30 am in the Warshof Conference Center, Flynn Campus Center (Monroe A/B). In accordance with Middle States protocol, he and the other team members will NOT take any questions at this session.
I hope you will make some time to join in any of the sessions.
