| Open forum for review team |
|
All students are invited to visit with a Higher Learning Commission (HLC) review team Tuesday, March 7, 9:45-10:15 a.m., in Science Center 102. Approximately every 10 years, the HLC sends a small team to Wartburg for a review to determine if the college is of sufficient quality to continue to operate. As part of their visit, the HLC team has asked for an open forum with students. Please consider attending and sharing what Wartburg means to you, how it has helped you as a person, and what you hope for the college in the future. |
