Today we honor and remember all of the brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. We reflect on the courage, dedication, and selflessness of those who gave their lives to protect the freedoms we enjoy. We are grateful for their service and extend our deepest appreciation to the families, loved ones, and communities who carry their legacy forward. Happy Memorial Day from the JRCERT!

JRCERT CEO Traci Lang-Sanders was in Washington, DC this week attending the CHEA - Council for Higher Education Accreditation Day on the Hill. Traci joined other accrediting agencies from across the nation to help ensure that conversations on Capital Hill reflect both the complexity and the importance of accreditation in supporting academic quality, institutional integrity, and student success.

Be sure to join us next week for live webinars! The JRCERT is hosting an Introduction to the Accreditation Process webinar on April 28, and an Outcomes Assessment Workshop webinar on April 29. These workshops assist both new and seasoned program officials with understanding the accreditation process and developing skills in the outcomes assessment process. Registration for these events ends this week, so be sure to reserve your spot today by visiting www.jrcert.org/events.

This National Volunteer Week, we express our sincere gratitude to all those who serve as site visitors for the JRCERT. The accreditation process would grind to a halt, if not for the dedication, commitment, and consideration of these wonderful volunteers. We thank you for giving your time and traveling across the nation to ensure a timely and fair accreditation process. We couldn't do it without you. Thank you site visitors!
