Triplett Selected as Peer Reviewer by HLC

Beth Triplett, Clarke University vice president for enrollment management, has been selected as a peer reviewer for the Higher Learning Commission. Triplett will join the Peer Corps as a reviewer for the Open and Standards Pathways. The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools is tasked with the regional accreditation responsibilities for higher education institutions in the central United States. The HLC oversees the accreditation of degree-granting colleges and universities in 19 Midwestern and South-Central states, including Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois. The United States Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation recognize the Commission as the assigned regional accrediting organization. A letter from the HLC to Triplett stated: “Your commitment to serve as a peer reviewer is valued not only by the Commission, but by the academic community we serve throughout the region. As a Peer Corps member, you have a unique opportunity to broaden your experience and to gain new ideas from the institutions you visit, while adding significant value in the process of assuring and improving quality in higher education.” For more information, contact the Clarke University Marketing and Communication Office at (563)588-6318. Clarke University is a Catholic, liberal arts and sciences university dedicated to preparing students who positively impact their workplace, family and community.
