Message from NAAB President
I have heard that at the end of their tenure, some organization officers have the sense that the time of their service passed at lightning speed. Closing out my year of service, my sense is that time has certainly not flown by, and that is a good thing, as much has been accomplished...
Accreditation Office Hours is Expanding
As part of the accreditation process, NAAB is committed to providing administrators and faculty with increased access to critical information and opportunities to connect with NAAB accreditation staff, Board directors, team chairs and team members, and colleagues in programs throughout the country. For over a year, NAAB has been offering Office Hours as a key forum to discuss challenges, ask questions and share experiences about accreditation. In response to positive feedback and growing popularity of this program – and in line with our commitment to best support schools through the accreditation process – NAAB is pleased to announce that Office Hours is now offered twice a month. 

Effective immediately, accreditation Office Hours will be held:

  • 12:00 to 1:00 pm ET on the 2nd Tuesday of each month
  • 4:00 to 5:00 pm ET on the 4th Thursday of each month
Hear From Your Peers: Danitza M. Huidobro Puch, Chief of Standards and Self-Evaluation at the Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas, recently reflected on the benefits of attending Office Hours:
“From my experience, NAAB Office Hours is a platform where NAAB representatives and programs can come together to clarify doubts and gain valuable insights. This platform has helped us in enhancing our understanding of the NAAB accreditation conditions and process from various perspectives, allowing us to share ideas and address concerns.”
As always, pre-registration for upcoming Office Hours is available on our Workshops and Program Trainings page.
