Friday Focus: Celebrating abundance of fall enrollment
September 15, 2023
Autumn graces the Interior with its season of plenty. Countless freezers brim with moose, caribou, salmon, and berries, while woodsheds bear testament to our careful preparations for the months ahead. With the onset of cooler days, our 蜜桃影像 community becomes a source of warmth and vitality, abuzz with activity and fresh starts. This abundance comes as a relief and brings a feeling of satisfaction that all the hard work of the past year has been successful. At Tuesday's Convocation, Chancellor White shared the great news that 蜜桃影像 welcomed about 2,500 new first-year students this fall. This is 650 more than last year. This is amazing, especially given the local and national headwinds on higher education enrollments. Let's take a closer look at the numbers.

Friday Focus: Program Review and Accreditation
September 08, 2023
As the newly minted vice provost and accreditation liaison officer, I wanted to first welcome everyone back to the new academic year. Fall has always been my favorite time of year, and a large reason for that is the excitement that comes with the start of the new school year. Fall is also a time for reflection as we forge ahead into a new academic year. This fall semester should be a particularly exciting time for reflection because we will (1) implement the second year of our revamped academic program review process and (2) host a peer-evaluation team from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities for our Mid-Cycle (year 3) Accreditation Evaluation site visit. Since I will be overseeing both endeavors, I wanted to highlight them for your awareness and because many of you will be involved in these processes.
