Middle States annual conference

I recently returned from attending the annual conference held by the Middle States Association--always a valuable conference. My institution went through its ten-year re-accreditation visit last year, and received our results that we are fully re-accredited for the next ten years. So it was truly a pleasure to go to the conference this year, just to learn and plan for the future, rather than feeling pressured to find every possible tip to help us attain re-accredited status!

Middle States will be issuing a new version of standards in early 2006--these are not new standards, but the new document will contain some revisions of wording, especially within the context sections.

Of course I learned lots of other things as well, which I'll be posting on the blog as time permits. I've recently cleared the blog of older, outdated postings too!
