Accreditation Renewal Visit

Results expected in July/August.
A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the panels!
Evaluators commented on how our culture at PG is "laser focused on student success." This is all because of our awesome faculty who support our students in so many critical ways!
They also shared that PG's mission was well understood across the organization and that your passion for what you do was evident. They were very pleased to hear everyone talk about our 3 pillars (growth, results, and innovation) which then guide the development of our strategic plan (PG MOVES - Skills, Classroom of the Future, Equity, and Student Success). It was clear to them how our PG MOVES are then cascaded into the meaningful work all of you engage in on a daily basis to foster student and team success; It was clear because our faculty, staff, and leadership who spoke in great detail about their involvement in this work!
