UPTIC’s guidance was instrumental in ensuring that the School of Nursing was found to be compliant with all four CCNE Standards during our recent accreditation visit. Having served as a faculty member for two CCNE accreditation cycles and as a director for an additional two site visits, I can state without hesitation that this was the most seamless and positive experience I have ever been a part of. The process was easier, more thorough, and more clearly structured than any of my prior CCNE engagements, and the exit report was the strongest and most affirming I have encountered in my career.

Elaine’s expertise, organization, and deep understanding of CCNE expectations elevated the entire process. Her ability to guide us with precision while strengthening our faculty and staff’s understanding of the standards was invaluable. The clarity she brought to the self-study structure, the rigor of her document review, and her strategic recommendations directly contributed to the strength of our evaluation. Equally important, her professionalism and encouragement kept our team confident and focused throughout the journey.

UPTIC provided far more than consultation. You provided partnership, mentorship, and a roadmap that positioned our program to shine. I am deeply appreciative of the exceptional support and expertise you brought to this process, and I look forward to future collaborations.
