The Roles and Responsibilities of the ALO – Live Q&A

The Accreditation Liaison Officer (ALO) is an important role for the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) and its member institutions. The ALO serves as the primary point of contact between MSCHE staff and the institution, and as a resource for the institution on accreditation processes and related matters. This invitation-only live Q&A session will build upon the recorded webinar on The Role of the ALO as the Nexus of Communication, which provides an introduction to MSCHE policies, processes, procedures, guidelines, and reporting responsibilities. The live Q&A session will expand on the MSCHE expectations within the context of the ALO’s own institution and allow opportunity for participants to ask specific questions concerning their work as ALOs.

Audience: Open to new Accreditation Liaison Officers – two years or less. By invitation only.

Registrants are requested to view the pre-recorded Nexus of Communication webinar video prior to this live Q&A.

Cost: free
