NCATE is  the premier national accrediting body for Education programs, and we are simply  delighted to receive this recognition. This is the first time that Trinity has  sought NCATE accreditation, and the process took nearly five years from start to  finish. Please join me in congratulating Dean of Education Suellen Meara,  Assistant Dean Lynn Johnson, Director of Teacher Education Dr. Roberta Dorr, and  all of the faculty, staff and students in the School of Education who made this  achievement possible.<\/p>\n<p>Second, the culmination of our Middle States Self-Study period will occur in  the week ahead when we welcome a team of visitors representing the Middle States  Commission on Higher Education. Middle States is the organization that provides  overall institutional accreditation. Trinity is a charter member of Middle  States, having been a fully accredited member since the founding of Middle  States in 1921. Every ten years, colleges and universities conduct thorough  self-studies to ensure our compliance with the accreditation standards, and the  visiting team reviews our work and certifies our compliance. The team is  composed of faculty and administrators from similarly-sized institutions in the  Middle States region.<\/p>\n<p>Our visiting team will be on campus and meeting with various groups from  Sunday evening through Wednesday morning. I know that all members of the Trinity  campus family will extend our customary hospitality and welcome to these  important guests. Many thanks to all faculty, staff and students who have  already contributed so much to our Self-Study report.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to all for your hard work and dedication to  Trinity!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCATE 2006 TO: The Trinity Campus Community FR: President Patricia McGuire I am very pleased to share with you these important items about Trinity\u2019s accreditation: First, Trinity\u2019s School of Education has received full accreditation from NCATE, the National Council on the Accreditation of Teacher Education.
