ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø

The Self-Study is a self-reflective analysis of ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø’s adherence to Middle States Standards of Accreditation and Requirements of Affiliation (14^th Edition). It focuses on how we meet the standards and on institutional improvement.

Accreditation is required to: receive Title IV funding; be eligible for federal research grants; have our transfer credits accepted; and to be recognized for our achievements.

The Self-Study is a 24-30 month process of data collection and analysis by cross-functional teams of faculty, staff, administrators, and students that culminates in a visit by a team of peer evaluators who issue a report to the Middle States Commission (March 2027)

Jean Gallagher, VP for Strategy and Partnerships and Accreditation Liaison Officer is the Executive Sponsor. There is an Executive Team consisting of two administrators and two faculty:

Nancy DeRiggi, Associate Vice President OPAIR
Email: nderiggi@pace.edu

Courtney Gosnell, Associate Professor Psychology
Email: cgosnell@pace.edu

Matt Marcello, Associate Professor Biology
Email: mmarcello@pace.edu)

Phyllis Mooney, Assistant Vice President Career Services
Email: pmooney@pace.edu

We will need up to 30 faculty and 30 staff to participate in Working Groups. Working Groups will collect and evaluate data to assess our compliance with each standard. We need input from every corner of the university to successfully complete the Self-Study.

Members of the Executive Committee will be presenting at Faculty Council, Management Council, Staff Councils, and Community Conversations throughout the process. Feel free to connect with a member of the leadership team or email selfstudy2027@pace.edu
