Qe oe ® oO) - “© ® ee oe ve Je The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, May 10, 1995 17 y op ot] LL] i i . 11] a The 1994-95 academic year was one of great accomplishment as the King's College academic pro- gram was recognized nationally. "Last summer, the college re- "ceived accreditation by the Com- mission on Higher Education of ~the Middle States Association of “Colleges and Schools, without condition and without further ‘reporting requirements. The reac- creditation report to the faculty, staff, administration, and students ‘of King's followed the team’s evalu- “ation of the King’s College curricu- lum and campus. Within a short time of this notification, King's College earned a place in the 1995 edition of Barron's Best Buys in ‘College Education, a publication developed for students and fami- @ ‘lies looking for an affordable, ‘quality education. King's also was included in the eighth annual America’s Best Colleges issue of U.S. News and World Report where “it was ranked eighth in the cate- gory of Regional Liberal Arts Col- leges (North Region). In February, “the college received the Theodore “Hesburgh Award Certificate of Excellence for faculty development. “The Middle States Report: Examination by Our Peers “The Middle States evaluation team was impressed by the quality of our core curriculum that rein- forces essential learning skills, and fosters the transfer of those skills beyond the program,” said Dr. Donald Farmer, vice president for academic affairs and chairperson of the self-study team. “The report recognized the qual- ity liberal arts education we pro- vide our students,” said Father Lackenmier. “They specifically recommended the college's com- mitment to financial aid, our at- tractive campus, King’s strong ties to the community, our belief in a sense of mission; and the commit- ment of a dedicated faculty.” = The reaccreditation process began with a self-study performed by committees within the school made up of faculty, staff, and administrators. They evaluated the curriculum, campus facilities, resources, and relationships with constituencies of the college. They then presented their report to the Middle States team who followed up with a visit to the campus last- ing several days. The process is repeated every ten years. National Recognition King's second consecutive place- ment in Barron’s Best Buys con- firms that when such quality is coupled with economic value, the appeal of King's becomes more widespread. Barron’s contains the latest information on tuition, admissions standards, financial aid, academic programs, campus life, and the student body. Each of the 300 schools (out of 3,000 na- tionwide) listed consistently re- ceived high marks in terms of fac- ulty attention to students, inspir- ing and useful programs, and opportunities for personal and professional development. According to Barron's, “A King's College degree in any of several well-respected professional fields will almost ensure an excellent first job after graduation; a King's College education, through the comprehensive core curriculum, will provide sustenance through- out a graduate’s life.” In the America’s Best Colleges issue of US. News andWorld Report, the magazine surveyed 1,400 national universities, na- tional liberal arts colleges, regional colleges and universities, regional liberal arts colleges, and special- ized institutions. Specialized schools award more than half of their degrees in business, engi- neering, or the arts. College presidents, deans and admissions directors were asked to rate all the schools in the same cateory as their own institutions. The response rate was a record 66% . Respondents were asked to rate schools based on their aca- demic reputation. The resulting rankings were then combined with educational data that had been provided by the colleges them- selves. These included statistics that measured student selectivity, faculty resources, financial re- sources, graduation rate, and alumni satisfaction. King's highest scores were re- corded in the categories of aca- demic reputation, alumni satis- faction and graduation rate. “We attribute our success there to the individualized attention we give each student,” said Dr. Farmer. “King’s emphasis on assessing skills and career goals has led to a gfaduation rate of 70%, which is about 20% above the national average.” Alumni feel a close bond with the school and reflect it in their giving rate of 42% - nearly double the national rate of 22%. Presidential Recognition In February, King's College was awarded The Theodore M. Hesburgh Award Certificate of Excellence for its faculty develop- ment program and student learn- ing assessment from Teachers Insurance and Annuity Associa- tion-College Retirement Equities Fund (TIAA-CREF), citing the sig- nificance of the college’s CORE program to higher education, and its successful results and impact on undergraduate teaching and student learning. The Rev. James Lackenmier, C.S.C., president of King's, received the Certificate of Excellence in a ceremony at the annual meeting of the American Council on Educa- tion in San Francisco. President Bill Clinton appeared at the gath- King's College gets high marks ering and also sent a letter of con- gratulations and recognition to Father Lackenmier. “Our nation’s success depends on the strength of our commit- ment to creating a first-rate sys- . tem of education,” President Clin- ton’s letter reads. “Only when we know that our students are receiv- ing the best instuction possible can we say that we are prepared for the challenges of the future. Eve- ryone at King's College can take great pride in your contributrions to meeting the crucial goal. Your care and enthusiasm for learning will be remembered fondly by all those whose lives you've touched.” “This Certificate of Excellence is, indeed, testimony to the com- mitment King's has made to a strong liberal arts education,” said Father Lackenmier. “Our faculty and administration have worked tirelessly to develop and continu- ally evaluate our faculty develop- ment and student learning assess- ment program.” According to Dr. Donald Farmer, vice president for academic affairs at King’s, “Assessment’s highest value lies in its impact on good learning and teaching.” Face your future at Sem Summer '95!
