Thiel College says farewell to:

• Rob Clune, women’s basketball coach

Thank you to the College community

On behalf of the CSD/SLP students, faculty, and staff, I would like to extend our sincere appreciation and gratitude for your outpouring of support during our site visit for full accreditation for the MS-SLP Program. We received a very positive exit report from the site visit team. They noted that we had evidence to support our compliance for all of the accreditation standards. They also commended the program for its innovation, rigor, and personalized support for each student. The final accreditation decision will be announced in August, but the successful site visit was a huge step toward full accreditation.

Thank you!

Mary Beth Mason, Ph.D.

Stickers available to support The Thiel Players
