2024 Fifth-Year Leadership Team

The Leadership Team held bimonthly meetings during the spring and fall semesters in 2022 and 2023. The Leadership Team worked in concert with Faculty Fifth-Year Committee in their efforts to address concerns related to faculty-focused Principles of Accreditation. Much of the Leadership Team's work was discussion-based and, as in 2017-2018, served as a decision-making group and/or group that made appropriate resolutions to the President; this group did not write the Interim Report. Instead, Dr. Serenity Rose King and her staff in the Office of Institutional Success and Decision Support were responsible for writing the Interim Report. The Fifth-Year Leadership Team concluded its work on March 1, 2024.
