Dr. Cecelia Livengood, Chief Accreditation Officer of NAAE, recently joined the Accreditation Insights podcast to share how NAAE is reimagining accreditation to empower institutions with greater choice and alignment. Hosted by Dr. Laurie Shanderson, along with co-hosts Dr. Leamor Kahanov, Dr. Greg Pillar, and Dr. Bryan Alexander, it was an opportunity to discuss in great detail how today’s higher education landscape demands a more nuanced approach to quality assurance—one that recognizes the diversity of institutional missions and the need for accreditors who speak directly to those distinctions.
Whether you’re a policy leader, academic administrator, or simply curious about the future of accreditation, this episode offers critical insight into how agencies like NAAE are helping institutions chart their course in an evolving ecosystem.
