On May 30, 2025, we were honored to welcome Terence Peavy, Ed.D. from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education for our Self-Study Preparation Visit. His presence, insight, and encouragement remind us that accreditation is not just a process—it’s a promise. A promise to our students, to our mission, and to continuous improvement.

Our campus community came together with energy, humility, and pride—anchored by prayer, driven by purpose, and inspired by possibility. The Open Session began with a prayer that reflects the spirit of who we are as a Franciscan institution: joyful, student-centered, and rooted in mission.

Special thanks to President Tim Cecere, Gale Gibson Gayle, Ed.D., Dr. John Christopher Edwards, the entire Middle States Steering Committee, and every working group for your commitment and care. Together, we are building something lasting and transformative.

Onward, St. Francis College.
