Re: Middle States Self-Study Report 

Thanks to the leadership of Allison Pease, Ned Benton, Jim Cauthen, Alison Orlando, the Self-Study Steering Committee, the Working Groups and all of you who provided comments through open forums and other means, we submitted our final Self-Study to our Middle States Accreditation Evaluation Team. This is an important milestone and a wonderful representation of who we are as a college and our plans to continue growing. This self-study is also a demonstration of the strength and depth of our leadership across the college. 

The Evaluation Team will be on campus at John Jay March 12-15, 2023. You will be receiving more information about your roles in the site visit from Interim Provost Pease in a few weeks. In the meantime, please familiarize yourself with our Self-Study document. 

There will be a real life test that determines whether we receive reaccreditation. This is a test we can pass with flying colors if all of you make time to familiarize yourself with our Self- Study. Thank you for doing your homework and exam preparation. 

Karol V. Mason 
President
