In just a few weeks, UH Mānoa will be holding its ten-year accreditation review from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, or WASC. In this virtual symposium, the MIRO team will discuss how they have built a robust data infrastructure that aims to make data more accessible, transparent, and consistent for both internal and external users; as well as share how this system effectively helps the University respond to accreditation standards while providing timely data support for the University’s accreditation preparation.


Honored Guest

Wendy Pearson currently serves as the Senior Advisor to the Provost and the UH Mānoa Accreditation Liaison Officer. She supports the Provost on a number of campus-wide initiatives, including the post-pandemic budget planning, strategic planning, and WASC accreditation. Prior to serving in the Provost Office, Wendy managed the academic program review process, professional accreditation, and program and course actions in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
