Middle States Moment: Who are the Members of the Leadership Team?

The Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) Self-Study continues to move forward under the leadership of co-chairs Candice Baldwin and Natasha Chen, who are leading our institution through this important process of reflection, alignment, and continuous improvement. We’re pleased to welcome three new members to the MSCHE Leadership Team, each bringing valuable expertise to the next phase of our Self-Study work:

  • Terry Keys – Our new Accreditation Liaison Officer (ALO), returning to the role after previously supporting MCC’s last self-study.
  • Valarie Avalone – Accreditation consultant with extensive experience on both internal and external self-study teams.
  • Holly Wheeler – Team Support Specialist and lead writer for our final Self-Study Report.

Stay tuned for the final Middle States Moment of the semester, where we’ll explore why accreditation matters to all of us!
