Of the reviews every college undergoes in its long-range and strategic planning, none is more significant than institutional accreditation. I am pleased that we have begun our SACS planning and review process in a timely manner and under the able leadership of Vern Lindquist, Kay Snavely, Carole Summerville, Dan Zelinski, and all the members of the Leadership team and the Steering Committee.

This is an exciting time at Richard Bland, and I am optimistic about our prospects. I urge each of you to participate actively in the many aspects of our reaffirmation by reviewing this web site and identifying areas where you can be most helpful.

This process belongs to the entire campus.

All the best,

Jim McNeer
