 Subject: MASSMAIL - Opportunity to Meet with Campus Accreditation Team

Dear Faculty Members,

As you may know, a review team from the Higher Learning Commission of the 
North Central Association will be visiting our campus from October 11-14, 
2009 for the campus' 10-year reaccreditation.  Accreditation is a 
voluntary process of critical self-analysis and internal and external 
review that Illinois undergoes every 10 years.  We have been accredited by 
the Commission since 1913.  Institutional accreditation evaluates an 
entire institution and accredits it as a whole.   

On Monday, October 12, the review team will hold an open meeting with 
faculty members from 4:00-5:00 pm in 100 Greg Hall.  The meeting will be 
an unstructured dialogue between our faculty and some members of the 
review team.  I would encourage you to attend this meeting.

For more information on the materials the campus accreditation committees 
have prepared for this review, you can visit 
http://www.reaccreditation.illinois.edu where several resources, including 
a copy of our campus self-study, are posted. The self-study focuses on the 
strengths of our outstanding campus and identifies opportunities for 
growth in the future.  The website also contains several links and 
supporting documents referred to in the self-study.

Very truly yours,

Richard Herman
Chancellor
