ARC2023 PROGRAM

The work of WSCUC’s membership and the higher education community has always been the heart of the Accreditation Resource Conference. We are proud of our tradition of hosting a rich and diverse set of sessions and presentations that foreground research, experience, and best practice from within our region and beyond. Concurrent and poster presentations have been reviewed and recommended for inclusion by ARC2023 Proposal Reviewers, a group of talented and experienced higher education professionals from throughout the WSCUC region whose work reflects WSCUC’s high standards. All elements of our program have been selected for their quality, relevance, appeal, and usefulness and embody WSCUC’s encouragement of continuous improvement and emphasis on student achievement.

Concurrent sessions are presented in single and combined formats. Combined session have been brought together to complement each other and their subject matter, and are identified by the word TOPIC throughout the program.
