A Word About the
MSCHE Annual Conference
Dr. Elizabeth Sibolski, President, Middle States Commission on Higher Education
Dr. Gary L. Wirt, Chair of the Commission; President, Goldey-Beacom College
We invite you to join us in our Nation’s capital for the 2018 Annual Conference of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE).
With the Standards for Accreditation and Requirements of Affiliation fully implemented, this year’s conference provides valuable insight from member institutions during the concurrent sessions in working with the Standards, preparing for data and strategic plan assessment, and engaging internal stakeholder groups among many other topics. In the plenary sessions, participants will also hear from national experts and thought leaders on the national accreditation landscape and the importance of engaging one’s Board of Trustees in the accreditation process.
There is something for everyone from those new to accreditation and those who are more advanced in their knowledge. We hope to see you in Washington this November.
