The Institutional Priorities are four areas that SMCM will focus on in our self-study. They represent four issues that are critical to SMCM\u2019s identity and ethos, and provide consistent themes that will recur throughout our discussion of the Middle States standards (expectations) in the self-study report. The priorities were drafted by the Middle States Steering Committee and finalized in consultation with the entire campus community during Spring 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>
