This 2010 continued accreditation self study for the Higher Learning Commission is the product of a process that has taken more than three years. The self study has been a cooperative endeavor which has relied on contributions from the entire campus community. Every effort was made to ensure that all contributors are acknowledged here. If anyone was overlooked, it was not an intentional omission. The Steering Team wishes to thank all who have contributed to the preparation of this self study. Your time, effort, and dedication are deeply appreciated.
