As someone who remembers all the stress the accreditation of SNESL caused the students through the years, I hope the Alumni are not forgotten. I think a “grandfathering” of all SNESL alum would be in order if this “gift” were to be accepted and the school was then accredited. This is extremely important as most students took a leap of faith and stayed at SNESL throughout the many negotiations through the years for acrceditation and mergers. It is a wonderful school and I hope this is the answer to the accreditation problem.
