College seeking input
into self-study report
By DR. ELIZABETH EDMISTON
As I am sure many of you
know, the College has been un
dergoing a self-study during the
past year as part of the reaccredi
tation process with the Southern
Association of Colleges and
Schools (SACS).
This process culminates with
the arrival of the visiting team on
Feb. 28, 2000. The first draft of
the Self-Study Report has been
written and we would like to re
ceive feedback from the
Wesleyan community.
The report is located at: http://
faculty.ncwc.edu/edmiston/
SelfStudy.Report/Default.htm
Printed copies will also be avail
able in the library. This is a long
document (225 pages) so you
might want to refrain from print
ing the entire document yourself.
People can respond to the Self-
Study Report via the web page or
via email. In addition, there will
be a series of meetings over the
next few weeks arranged at dif
ferent times so that hopefully ev
eryone will be able to fit one into
their schedules. The schedule for
those meetings will be announced
soon.
A second draft will be pro
duced this summer based on the
feedback received on this draft.
A large number of people from
the Wesleyan community have
been involved in the self-study
and I would like to thank them
for all of their work. In particu
lar, I would like to thank the steer
ing committee (Anna Acerra,
Dana Ford, Fred Grissom, Bar
bara Perry-Sheldon, Fritz Smith,
Bob Trullinger, Rick Watson, and
Kathy Winslow). They have put
an enormous amount of work into
this document.
If anything was misrepre
sented, it was not intentional.
Feedback and/or corrections
would be greatly appreciated.
Trustee's Representative are Kyle
Guelcher and Phillip Strickland.
In order to be eligible to vote,
students must be currently en
rolled as full-time students at
North Carolina Wesleyan College
and present a valid Student ID.
Each student may vote only once.
Class presidents will be elected
by vote of their cla.ss members.
Write-in candidates are al
lowed. Elections will be based on
a plurality vote of the student
body. All students are a.sked to
rcspcct the campaign materials of
all candidatc.s and not tear down,
deface, or destroy these materi
als.
