"Thanks-a-Latte" for helping us prepare for the HLC visit!

Thanks to everyone who attended the Thanks-a-Latte event! Aaron Bretveld won drawing for the Kindle.

Dr. Lesley Cooper and Rylee Mann in the Institutional Effectiveness office prepared the Assurance Argument document with a team of faculty and staff. It took a lot of time, thought and effort to prepare our HLC materials. Thanks to the lead writers, Jen Huggins, Meredith Purcell, Monica Quinlan, Beth Nunley, David Cagle and Rylee Mann. And, a special thanks to those who read the document and provided their feedback, especially those who contributed multiple times, Tracy Conner, Stephanie Pizzoferrato, Krista Davis, Ellen Schmidt and Josh Gregoire.

Please take some time to read the final document on the Institutional Effectiveness portal page.

Peer reviewers with the HLC will be on campus for a site visit on Nov. 18 and 19 and will be touring the Riverfront Campus. The peer reviewers may ask any of us about KCC's mission, vision and values statements, or want to know if we can tell them about our general education goals and strategic priorities. It's a great time to learn, or refresh your memory about, these important components. A printed poster is available for easy reference outside Lesley and Rylee's offices.

Questions about the materials or the visit can be directed to Dr. Lesley Cooper.
