In 2012, The Middle States Commission on Higher Education stated that Drexel University “...is a remarkable institution that has proven itself by meeting the multifaceted challenges of the past, truly challenging decade. Drexel is now poised not merely to succeed, but to lead. The moment is now Drexel’s to seize.”

Against the backdrop of the MSCHE report, the charge given to the planning group for Myths and Movements-Reimagining Higher Education Assessment was to produce a remarkable conference that would be a definitive, affirmative and authentic response to that challenge. Mindful of that charge, the staff sought to create a conference that would be truly unique, restorative and beneficial to all who attend. We hope that we have succeeded in doing that and that our attendees will enjoy an enriching and thought provoking professional development experience.
