During the 1999-2000 academic year, Valdosta State University (VSU) maintained and enhanced its position as a learning community distinguished by its dedication to student success. For the fourth consecutive year, VSU was invited to send a team to the AAHE Summer Academy focusing upon the theme of learning communities and organizational change to enhance learning. The University finalized its institutional self- study and had a SACS site-visit. The SACS team recommended reaffirmation of VSU’s accreditation with only ten recommendations. Also, this year the Sports Medicine/Athletic Training Program received another five-year accreditation by the Committee for Allied Health Education Programs. The Counseling Center was accredited by the International Association of Counseling Services, becoming one of only five Counseling Centers in Georgia to receive this accreditation.
