Congratulations to Trine University students, faculty and staff for the great news from the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). Thanks to the efforts of a steering committee and the campus community, Trine has received continued accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission (ncahlc.org). Trine received the good news in December.
After a two-day visit by peer reviewers in September, Trine earned accreditation for a decade, the maximum number of years. Trine has been accredited by the HLC since 1966. Visiting HLC teams certify organizational quality by reviewing institutional policies and procedures and interviewing faculty, staff, students, administrators and the Board of Trustees.
Ellen Paxton has joined Trine University as assistant vice president of advancement, bringing more than 25 years of experience in fundraising and institutional promotion to the position.
Laurie Stockton-Moreno, director of The Center for Montessori Education at Trine University (CMETU), was part of a team that introduced area eighth- and ninth-grade students to Montessori education during a recent event.
For the third year, Trine University sport management students are partnering with the NBA’s Detroit Pistons to learn the ticket sales process and sharpen their sales skills.
