  • Self Study Report
    Self Study Report Prepared for the Middle States Commission on Higher Education February 1, 2013 by CAZENOVIA COLLEGE Cazenovia, New York 13035 Prepared by the Self-Study Steering Committee EXECUTIVE SUMMARY “At Cazenovia, you will find the best of everything an undergraduate college has to offer. Students become part of an intellectual journey, one in which the Cazenovia College experience takes them farther than they ever dreamed of going.” President Mark Tierno BACKGROUND Cazenovia College was first accredited in 1961 and reaffirmed its accreditation in summer 2003 and again in summer 2008 with the periodic review process. At the time of the last self-study process in 2002-03, the College was recovering from administrative transition and budget challenges. To aid in that recovery, the College chose to create a five-year strategic plan as a self-study special topic. Adding to the challenge of aligning the accreditation standards with strategic plan goals/objectives, the College was one of the first Middle States’ institutions to approach a self-study utilizing the newly revised Characteristics of Excellence. The Commission acted to require a Monitoring Report to follow up on several recommendations by the evaluation team related to financial matters and assessment. That report was accepted by the Middle States Commission without a campus visit in November 2005. Throughout the 2006-07 year and into fall 2007, College constituents met regularly to create the current 2007-2012 Strategic Plan (now extended to fall 2013). That significant planning effort involved over 90 participants contributing through membership on workgroups and committees, document review, and advisory functions.

  • Newly Created Archdiocese of Baltimore School Board Begins Work
    Newly created Archdiocese of Baltimore school board begins work School Sister of Notre Dame Kathleen Feeley doesn’t want to see a world without her passion, Catholic education. That’s why she agreed to be part of the newly created Archdiocese of Baltimore School Board, which gathered for the first time Jan. 10 at St. Mary’s Seminary in Roland Park. “When you’re asked to do something absolutely essential, you say yes immediately,” said the interim president of the Institute of Notre Dame. “Our schools are superb and we have to find ways of keeping them going. It’s a huge project. I just hope we can organize well to do it.” The 23-member board will oversee the implementation of Archbishop Edwin F. O’Brien’s Blue Ribbon Committee on Catholic Schools’ Strategic Plan, which was released in June 2010. Archbishop O’Brien will chair the board. The board will also recommend policies for the archdiocesan school system and advise the archbishop and superintendent concerning advancement, finances, facilities and leadership matters affecting Catholic schools. “It’s going to be four or five years to really get a structure in place,” the archbishop said. “We always have to have an archdiocese school board to keep us in check and to set ongoing goals and make sure we reach them.” It is an impressive group that includes CBS News reporter Byron Pitts, a product of Baltimore Catholic schools; Anirban Basu, Sage Policy Group’s chairman and CEO; and Benjamin Civiletti, senior partner in the Washington, D.C., office of Venable LLP.
