Steering Committee

The WCC Self-Study Steering Committee is composed of faculty and staff from across the college.

The Steering Committee is chaired by Bill Abernethy, Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences, who serves as Self-Study Coordinator.

All members of the Steering Committee (except for the Coordinator and lead writer) serve as team leaders for the five criterion teams, which are small subcommittees with membership drawn from all areas of the college. Criterion teams meet regularly, and tem leaders meet approximately monthly with the Coordinator and lead writer.
