The schedule for our upcoming April 10–13 Middle States Site Team visit is now available for download (pdf) from the Middle States Accreditation website.

The schedule was developed by our visiting team, and it has requested various meetings with many constituents during its visit. Please note that while the visiting team has requested some meetings in advance, additional meetings may be scheduled after its arrival on campus.

While many of the scheduled events are with specific groups of constituents (who will be invited via e-mail to these meetings), the following are Open Sessions at which you are encouraged to attend without invitation:

  • Open Session with Faculty (I):
    Monday, April 11, from 9:15–10:30 a.m. in Gorell Auditorium (Sutton Hall, second floor)
  • Open Session with Staff:
    Monday, April 11 from 10:45–11:45 a.m. in Gorell Auditorium (Sutton Hall, second floor)
  • Open Session with Students (I):
    Monday, April 11 from 2:30–4:00 p.m. in HUB Monongahela Room
  • Open Session with Managers:
    Monday, April 11 from 2:30–4:00 p.m. in Gorell Auditorium (Sutton Hall, second floor)
  • Open Session with Faculty (II):
    Tuesday, April 12 from 11:45 a.m.–12:45 p.m. in Gorell Auditorium (Sutton Hall, second floor)
  • Open Session with Students (II):
    Tuesday, April 12 from 1:15–2:15 p.m. in HUB Monongahela Room

Please participate in these open sessions as your schedule allows and encourage your fellow IUP community members to do the same. Managers and supervisors should encourage staff to attend the Open Sessions for their respective group. While participation is voluntary, leave is not required to be submitted if attending during regular work hours.

IUP's Middle States reaffirmation of accreditation process has been marked by astounding levels of participation from the IUP community for the past two and a half years, and we want to finish the process with the same level of participation and enthusiasm with which it began. Thanks for all your hard work.

Sincerely,

Michael A. Driscoll
IUP President
