On Oct. 18 in Charlotte, NC, the Committee on Accreditation for the American Board of Funeral Service Education (ABFSE) granted reaccreditation to HVCC’s Mortuary Science Program for seven years – the maximum allowed.
The announcement followed a late-June, three-day site visit to the HVCC Mortuary Science Program on the Troy campus.
Sincere thanks to our students and all the departments involved, including everyone who met with the site team members and provided necessary documentation for the self study.
I also wish to thank my colleagues who support the program; Dr. Patty Klimkewicz, dean of Health Sciences, and Jesse Gomes and Amanda Portelance, mortuary science faculty members, for their support and for accompanying me in Charlotte to represent the Mortuary Science Department.
