Ahead@NU invites members and staff to join our discussion on the topic of accreditation at Northwestern, with Jenny Puchtel, Manager, Accreditation Process, Rachelle Brooks, Instructor, Higher Education Administration and Policy Program, and Bradley Hamm, Dean, Medill School of Journalism.
In April 2015 Northwestern will undergo its next comprehensive evaluation for reaffirmation of accreditation. This talk will cover the institutional accreditation process and why it matters; the avenues for faculty and staff to participate in and provide feedback on the accreditation process; the theoretical side of accreditation and measuring quality of education; and also highlighting the accreditation process for schools and/or programs.
