That was the week that was!

The whirlwind of the previous week is over, successfully, I might add, but the whirl continued as we played catch-up this week.

The good news is the visiting accreditation site team found the School in Compliance on all nine standards of the accrediting body, ACEJMC. This is another step in the process. Two more steps will occur in Spring with the accrediting committee’s meeting in March and the Council’s meeting in early May. The May meeting is the final step in our quest for reaccreditation. The faculty and staffed worked very hard on our Self-Study Report.

The Online News Association in Toronto was a terrific meeting. The three presentations by students in the Innovative Incubator Project were awesome. MSU students participated in two of the three presentations, Tandem and Locker Talk. They were terrific. We are already getting nibbles to partner in developing these ideas further working with media companies.

We also had an amazing presentation by artist Bryan Christie of his work and how he does it on Thursday. Arranged by Karl Gude, Christie spoke to a packed auditorium of students, faculty and members of the public.
