In this edition of the newsletter, we share two articles which illustrate the power of teamwork in IEPS. Contributors share how to approach two different Herculean tasks: preparing for program accreditation and advocating for university integration. Both endeavors demonstrate the importance English program administration leaders place on ensuring program quality and credibility. In future newsletters, we hope to share what you do to support quality and credibility in the field of TESOL.
