Service Opportunities
Interested in volunteering with HLC? Here are some opportunities to get involved:
HLC’s Board of Trustees
HLC is seeking nominations for candidates to serve on our governing board. The Board of Trustees leads our work in serving institutions, considers policy matters related to accreditation, and takes actions related to institutions’ accreditation status.
Institutional Actions Council Public Members
HLC is seeking members of the public—individuals who are not affiliated with a member college or university or a higher education agency—to serve on the Institutional Actions Council (IAC). The IAC reviews and takes action on recommendations from peer reviewers who evaluate institutions for compliance with accreditation requirements. This is a unique and rewarding volunteer opportunity to support quality assurance in higher education.
Peer Corps
HLC relies upon the work of peer reviewers for its accrediting activities. These volunteers generously share their knowledge and experience to assure and advance institutional quality. Serving as a peer reviewer is an engaging, immersive experience that allows you to gain insight from colleagues and develop a comprehensive understanding of HLC’s accreditation to help your home institution.
We seek experienced faculty, staff, and administrators at HLC-accredited institutions to join the Peer Corps. The application typically opens for one month in the spring and fall.
Academy Mentors
Academy Mentors offer guidance, advice and feedback to institutions in the Assessment and Student Success Academy. Mentors work with one or more institutions throughout the multi-year Academy experience to assist teams in developing and implementing their projects.
Periodically, HLC seeks new Mentors. The ideal Mentor has experience in assessment of student learning or student success and has been working in the field for at least five years. Priority is given to Academy graduates.
