2016-17 Reaffirmation of Accreditation
Work Group Retreat
On January 7, 2015, over 65 UNL faculty, staff, and students attended the HLC Reaffirmation of Accreditation Retreat, held at the Nebraska Innovation Campus Conference Center. The morning session provided a brief overview of the reaffirmation process, expectations, and key milestones as well as some strategies for building an argument and gathering evidence. A small group discussion offered an opportunity for team members to identify themes that best illustrate UNL’s success story.
The afternoon session provided focused time for the Work Group teams to develop their plan for addressing the Criterion and Federal Compliance requirements. The retreat closed with a brief recap of the team discussions and key action items.
