I'm going to share with you this morning some wonderful news that landed on my desk early
last week. In a letter from the North West Commission President. This is a result of
our three year review last April, where we were reviewed as a Baccalaureate granting
institution and a Masters granting institution. And quite cleverly, Steve Olswang, our Provost,
included in the self study on our Ed.D. program. So when I received the letter, we were surprised
and I can tell you delighted to be accelerated a year from when we thought we were going
to be granted accreditation as a doctoral institution. This is the operative paragraph:
The Commission granted the University accreditation at the doctoral level, to include the Ed.D.
program, with its emphasis in Leadership. The effective date of this accreditation is
September one, two-thousand-and-tweleve. It was retroactive. Congratulations on receiving
this recognition. Dr. Sandra Elman, President. [applause]
