Steering Committee

The HLC Self-study Steering Committee will manage UW-Parkside’s reaccreditation effort by leading the self-study process. The Steering Committee will coordinate the preparation and completion of the self-study document into a cohesive and meaningful reflection of the institution on the five evaluative criteria for reaccreditation. The Steering Committee will be responsible for overseeing and coordinating the work of the five criteria working groups and the resource working groups in order to ensure adherence to the self-study timeline. The Committee will review the self-study document and supporting evidence to ensure they address the criteria set forth by HLC, and it will recommend to the Leadership Committee final approval of self-study document. The HLC Steering Committee will be committed to effective internal communication within the university community throughout the self-study process. It will report to and communicate with the Leadership Committee, keeping it informed on progress in developing and completing the self-study.
