Is your institution preparing for an accreditation visit? This workshop will share insights into how institutions leverage the accreditation process to tell a compelling and actionable institutional story.  

Rather than treating accreditation as a mere compliance task, you'll learn practical strategies to craft an Institutional Report that highlights your institution’s growth, mission fulfillment, and vision for the future. The presenters will offer practical strategies not only for writing a compelling report but also for preparing a successful site visit. This approach goes beyond checking boxes—it’s about showcasing your institution’s unique strengths, how you’ve overcome challenges, and your strategic goals for improvement in a way that resonates with accreditors and stakeholders alike. By the end of this workshop, you'll gain tools and strategies to support your accreditation journey and tell your institution’s authentic story. 

This session will be facilitated by Sonny Calderon, Vice President of Academic Affairs and ALO at New York Film Academy, and Dr. Tiffany Rodriguez, Chief Academic Officer of American College of Healthcare Sciences, both members of the Substantive Change Review Committee. They will be joined by WSCUC VPs to offer complementary perspectives from VP liaisons' experience across institutions.
