It demonstrates the college’s commitment to continuous quality improvement and compliance with criteria for accreditation.”
The next reaffirmation of accreditation will be in the 2020-21 academic year.
Prior to the board meeting, Chair Reichert, accompanied by trustees, unveiled the LEED Silver plaque in the Workforce Careers Center. LEED certification identifies the building as “a showcase example of sustainable design.”
