草榴社区

草榴社区鈥檚 self鈥恠tudy is being guided by the Steering Committee, which includes three Self鈥怱tudy Committee Chairs (or Tri-Chairs), a Self-Study Coordinator, and seven Working Group Chairs (each overseeing the examination of one of the seven Standards for Accreditation). The remaining 13 members of the Steering Committee represent key 草榴社区 constituencies whose feedback is a valued component of the self-study. The Steering Committee is assisted in its work by two staff members from UNIT.

Working Groups

Working Groups were assembled through a collaborative process in which the Leadership Team recommended Vice Chair candidates and potential general members to each Working Group Chair based upon the expertise individuals could bring to each standard. The Leadership Team also consulted with senior administrators and leaders in the Faculty Congress in identifying people to serve. The Working Group Chairs, upon selecting a Vice Chair, assumed responsibility for recruiting the potential members for their working group, including student members, who were identified through various student organizations and recommendations by staff, faculty, and the administration.
