Invitation to NEASC Team Chair’s Report

October 26, 2017

​​Dear Students, Staff and Faculty:

As you know, a visiting team representing the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) will visit Smith from October 29 to November 1 as part of Smith’s ten-year reaccreditation process. The visit represents an important milestone in a collaborative process undertaken over the past two years that involved students, faculty, staff and trustees, all of whom contributed to our self-study narrative.

The team’s visit will culminate in a public report of preliminary findings presented by the NEASC team chair, Christina Paxson, president of Brown University.

I invite all students, staff and faculty to attend this presentation Wednesday, November 1 from 11 a.m. - noon in the Campus Center Carroll Room. I look forward to hearing from President Paxson about the team’s assessment of our institutional strengths as well as recommended areas of focus as we plan for Smith’s future.

Sincerely,

Kathleen McCartney
President
