NWCCU Launches Review of its Standards, Policies, and Eligibility Requirements
The Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) today launched a comprehensive review of its Standards of Accreditation, Policies, and Eligibility Requirements. This review is part of the NWCCU's ongoing self-reflection, and in support of the requirements of the United States Department of Education's recognition of the Agency.
The process of review will conclude in Fall 2019 after opportunities for input from key stakeholders, including institutional leadership, faculty, staff, and students, as well as the public. This exercise provides stakeholders the opportunity to assess the current processes around NWCCU's accreditation activities (including the cycle of evaluation and the methods of evaluation).
A complete timeline for the process of the revision of the
Standards of Accreditation, Policies, and Eligibility Requirements is available on the NWCCU website (
www.nwccu.org
).
Beginning
today until December 1, 2018, NWCCU is soliciting input from its stakeholders and the public via the Standards Review Survey tool created to collect information and is available for viewing and submission by clicking:
Additionally, stakeholders and the public are invited to submit comments via email to
[email protected]
.
The review process is overseen by the NWCCU Bylaws, Standards, and Policies Committee, which is chaired by Board of Commissioners' Secretary, Deneece Huftalin, President, Salt Lake Community College. The Committee and the Board of Commissioners will work to consider all input and comments.
Results of the Committee's work
will be shared with NWCCU membership and the public prior to an additional opportunity for public comment in Summer 2019 before adopting the revised
Standards of Accreditation, Policies, and Eligibility Requirements.

As part of my faculty fellows project I am looking at hybrid schedules. In the literature, there are numerous different definitions of hybrid. Some of the commonalities include one or more of the following:
1. Web-based learning activities are used to complement face-to-face time
2. Actual in-class or "seat time" is reduced
3. The web-based and face-to-face portions are used to interact and take advantage of the best features of both.
Some examples of hybrid scheduling:
* Meet face-to-face for introduction and content information followed by an extended period (a few weeks to a month) of online work.
* For a Tuesday/Thursday class - only meet face-to-face on Tuesday and online or web-based work instead of meeting Thursday.
* Where a typical class would meet for 3 hours one week at night - meet for only 2 hours and the remaining hour is online during the week.
There are a few components to my project:
1. I am asking faculty to give me feedback on what they see as advantages and disadvantages to a hybrid schedule for their teaching pedagogy. Also asking them how they think students view a hybrid schedule.
2. I am asking administration their viewpoint on hybrid schedules and the advantages and disadvantages as well as students' viewpoint.
3. I am designing a survey to give to students about their feelings about hybrid schedules.
4. Possibly looking at other colleges and seeing how they use hybrid schedules.
So, I will hopefully be seeing and talking with you shortly. I have already meet with a few departments and administration and hope to meet with more before the end of the semester. If you have any questions or comments you would like to send my way please send me a quick email.

Did you notice we're now getting two health and wellness newsletters in our worksites? After more than 20 years with Vitality magazine, we have found a new contender. Well Balanced is produced by the WELCOA company and offers the same kinds of articles and news at an even better price. As we transition to this new publication, you will note a little overlap this fall. Starting in January, we will permanently switch to Well Balanced. As always, your feedback is most welcome!

September 29 at 7:30 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium
With more than 100 million album sales since 1965, Simon & Garfunkel's perfect harmonies and songs that poignantly captured the times made them one of the most successful folk-rock duos of all time. The Simon & Garfunkel Story is an immersive concert-style theater show chronicling their amazing journey from their humble beginnings as Tom & Jerry, through their successes, and to their dramatic split in 1970. It culminates with the famous "The Concert in Central Park" reunion in 1981 with more than half a million fans in attendance. Using huge projection photos and original film footage, the show also features a full live band performing all of their hits, including Mrs. Robinson, Cecilia, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Homeward Bound, and many more.
Tickets are $38/adults or $14/children HS and under and are available at tickets.csi.edu, by calling 732-6288, or at the CSI Fine Arts Center Box Office.

My name is Jacob Bottinger. I am raising funds to help find a cure for Congenital Muscular Dystrophy. I was born with this condition and my parents found out, with genetic testing, when I was three years old. With my condition, I have trouble learning. I love school, but sometimes things are hard for my brain to understand, as compared to my peers. There are things that are physically hard, but I keep pushing myself and always do my best. There are many kids like me who don't live too many years after birth, never have the ability to walk, talk or even ride a bike. I am lucky that my parents have given me the opportunity to go to therapy and are my advocates for me to receive the help that I need.
Currently, there are 42 different types of Muscular Dystrophies. Mine is just one of many. I participate in clinical studies to help make progress to find a cure for my condition.
Every day, kids are born with muscular dystrophy and adults are diagnosed with ALS and other related diseases that take away their most basic freedoms - the freedom to walk, talk, hug and even breathe.
I'm participating in the
MDA Muscle Walk on October 6, 2018, in Boise, Idaho to join MDA to find research breakthroughs across diseases, provide funds to make care for kids and adults available from day one, and empower families in hometowns across America with support to live longer and grow stronger.
Please support me and become a part of my WOLFPACK. Thank you!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GLOBAL ANTI-HUMAN TRAFFICKING ORGANIZATION RALLIES
TENS OF THOUSANDS TO COMBAT MODERN-DAY SLAVERY
The Magic Valley Walk for Freedom will start at 10 a.m. from the CSI Expo Center on Thursday, October 20, 2018, and it will end at 1 p.m.
On
October 20, 2018, tens of thousands of people will gather all over the world for a fundraising and
awareness event called #WalkForFreedom. Walks will take place in hundreds of cities across dozens
of nations.
This event is operated by a global anti-human trafficking organization, A21. The purpose of the walk
is to raise awareness about the millions of men, women, and children who are still trapped in slavery
today. By fundraising and rallying thousands of people around the cause, the belief is that this event
will be the catalyst for the rescue and restoration of human beings who are being exploited.
Walk For Freedom is distinctly recognized by its participants who will be wearing black shirts and
walking in single-file lines all over the world-in local towns, through busy intersections in city
centers, on dirt tracks in crowded villages, along bridges, tunnels, and water banks. Hundreds of
local walks will be seen marching for a global end to modern-day slavery.
"We are convinced that if we do this together, if we keep showing up, if we continue to be tenacious,
if we continue to turn up with strength, numbers, and courage, then we can see slavery eradicated in
our lifetime, "says Christine Caine, A21's Founder.
A21 Overview:
A21 is a global nonprofit organization determined to eradicate human trafficking through awareness,
intervention, and aftercare. Currently operating in 13 countries, A21 aims to combat modern-day
slavery through a multi-dimensional operational strategy: Reach, Rescue, and Restore. Through
partnerships and the efforts of supporters all over the globe, A21 truly believes that a multitude of
victims can be identified and assisted, and perpetrators can be brought to justice.
Millions of slaves.
A $150 billion industry.
1% ever rescued.
