Accreditation of an institution by the New England Association indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied through a peer group review process. An accredited school or college is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evi- dence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation. Accreditation by the New England Association is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution. Inquiries regarding the accreditation status by the New England Association should be directed to the administrative staff of the institution.

  • Profiles of Faculty Scholarship
    Profiles of Faculty Scholarship HIGHLIGHTS OF RESEARCH, PUBLICATIONS AND CREATIVE ACTIVITY September, 2016 – September, 2017 Published May 2018 FOREWORD We are pleased to present the annual edition of this publication to honor the creative, community and scholarly work of Fitchburg State University faculty and librarians. This booklet offers an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the intellectual and creative achievements of our faculty and librarians. These activities both spring from and feed our central teaching mission. Reflected in these pages is the dedicated work of a community of scholars. Politics in Verse For DeMisty Bellinger-Delfeld, poetry is a political statement, even if that’s not its primary function. “Poetry still has to be beautiful,” she said. “It still has to entertain, even if it’s about tough subjects. But to ignore politics is a disservice.” Politics has been on Bellinger-Delfeld’s mind a lot since the 2016 election and the challenging cultural conversations that have emerged since. Among her recent poems are works that explore themes of race and gender. “All writing is entering into a greater conversation. That’s been the case since Beowulf,” she said. “My poetry has certainly gotten more political as I’ve For these faculty highligh pages, use the following gotten older.” paragraph styles: And while one of her pieces was published in Nasty Women Poets: An Unapologetic Anthology of *faculty name 1 Subversive Verse (Lost Horse Press, 2017), a volume *FACULTY DEPARTMENT 1 that took its name from a very current political DeMisty Bellinger-Delfeld phrase, Bellinger-Delfeld knows the themes of ASSISTANT PROFESSOR *text faculty bio 1 sexual harassment and discrimination explored in ENGLISH STUDIES the work will transcend this moment in time.
