520 |a In preparation for an accreditation visit, Hutchinson Community College (HCC), in Kansas, conducted a self-study to determine if their institutional practices were consistent with their mission and undertook other activities to ensure a smooth site visit. A steering committee first prepared a self-study manual which identified the purpose, goals, and format of the self-study report and then prepared the report, which addressed general institutional requirements, basic institutional and demographic data, and plans resulting from the self-study. All full-time employees were given a copy of the report and biographies of the Kansas state appointed accreditation team members prior to the visit. The campus was spruced up in honor of the occasion and a hospitality committee made sure the team was comfortable. During the week following the visit, the steering committee decided to continue to develop strategies to assure implementation of team recommendations. The committee drafted a set of goals and objectives for the school president who reappointed the committee as the "NCA Monitoring Committee," to be responsible for: (1) addressing team recommendations; (2) monitoring the progress of implementation; (3) keeping a written account of accomplishments; and (4) assuring that all recommendations became a part of institutional goals and objectives.
