Accreditation Insights: Illuminating the Path to Educational Excellence
Founded by Dr. Laurie L. Shanderson, a senior academic leader with over 25 years of experience in higher education and accreditation, Accreditation Insights was born out of a deep commitment to demystifying the complexities of accreditation and compliance. After decades of firsthand experience navigating these challenges as a university executive, site visitor, and board member, Dr. Shanderson recognized a critical need: institutions require expert guidance, tailored strategies, and a collaborative partner who truly understands both the pressures and the possibilities of accreditation.

Our “boots-on-the-ground” approach allows us to work alongside your team, designing customized plans that alleviate stress, streamline processes, and support successful outcomes for initial or reaffirmation status.
