We previously communicated that the institution had begun the reaccreditation process with the institutional accreditor, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE). We continued the progress of developing the self-study by the seven working groups appointed and led by the Steering Committee.
As part of this process, the MSCHE appointed the evaluation committee chair to assess the self-study and visit us in the spring of 2025. The chair assigned is Dr. Hubert Benitez, current president of Saint Peter's University, located in the state of New Jersey. Dr. Benitez has extensive experience in higher education. For more than 20 years, Dr. Benitez has excelled in the academic area as an administrator at different institutional levels and as faculty.
We are very pleased with this appointment and look forward to a successful reaccreditation process with this outstanding higher education and Hispanic community member.
