We are pleased to announce the membership of the Middle States Steering Committee for our upcoming MSCHE re-accreditation visit in spring 2012:

Julie Pretzat and Liz Schmitt, Co-Chairs

Nancy Bellow, Business and Community Relations

Julie Blissert, Office of Public Affairs

Marcia Burrell, School of Education

Frank Byrne, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences

Dean Crawford, School of Business

Kathy Evans, Student Affairs

Jessica Hester, School of Communication, Media and the Arts

Robert Moore, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences

Joe Moreau, CTS, Administration and Finance

Mehran Nojan, Institutional Research

Mark Slayton, Office of Development

The Steering Committee will lead our preparation for the Middle States visit. Members will chair various working groups, develop a self-study design, and contribute to the research and development of the self-study. During spring 2010 semester, working groups will be populated from all constituencies of the campus community. These groups will each be responsible for drafting portions of the self-study during the 2011-12 academic year.

The re-accreditation process, including the self-study and external review, will help us evaluate SUNY Oswego's progress over the past 10 years and will inform our visioning for the future. It will be an opportunity to assess and explain our strengths and will assist us in developing strategies for moving forward as a vibrant institution.

Members of this committee bring great talent and a distinguished record of service to this important project. Please join us in congratulating and thanking them for their leadership.
