•Where are we now?

“It’s not a problem to have weaknesses, and it’s not a problem to celebrate our strengths; it IS a problem when all stakeholders don’t know one from the other.”

- Randy Dellings, WASC VC Chair

Where do YOU fit in?

“It’s important for all stakeholders that we earn our accreditation. YOU are part of the team!”
