Message from the Interim President

September 17, 2025

My profound thanks to everyone on campus who took part in the WSCUC Accreditation Visit to campus last week. Special thanks to Interim Provost Stacey Bosick and to the WSCUC Steering Committee for their outstanding leadership, and to the staff who supported the logistics necessary to make the WSCUC team’s visit run smoothly.

The review team offered several commendations that it will send to the Commission, including recognizing Sonoma State’s demonstrated commitment to student success; our achievements in retention, completion, affordability, and access; our use of data-informed decision-making and assessment; our reflection and engagement throughout the review process; and our commitment to serving as an anchor institution in the communities we serve.

This is tremendously good news, and a credit to the contribution every member of the campus community makes to ensuring the success of our students and to the university as a whole. 

Again – thank you!

Emily F. Cutrer
Interim President
