INSIGHTS FROM DR. CHARALEE GRAYDON, Professor of Law - "Advancing Quality Together with AAC"

“As an Oxford graduate and fairly seasoned academic, I found the AAC accreditation process well-organized and helpful to the Euler team participants in understanding the key areas of focus and improvement for the accreditation process. For instance, the committee's questions about Euler's mission allowed the team to highlight its seven pillars of core values and implementation. The AAC committee emphasized the importance of building a solid framework that supports ongoing interaction from academics, students, the Curaçao community, and other stakeholders. Of particular importance is that the AAC accreditation committee made it possible to identify both existing strengths as well as providing a roadmap for ongoing improvements at every step of our processes and operations. Also of importance is that the accreditation committee has provided a very comprehensive report to assist Euler in ensuring long-term compliance with all aspects required for the development, governance, and implementation of its vision.”
