February 13, 2013 (Jackson) - Professor Bob Pennebaker, Chair of the Visual Art Department, has been appointed by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) to the NASAD Committee on Ethics Board.
NASAD is the national organization that accredits the 322 universities who have met their standards of excellence in visual arts. Belhaven has held NASAD accreditation for many years, but is one of only 30 Universities in America whose four primary arts programs are all independently accredited.
The Committee on Ethics consists of three elected officials, one Chair and two members. The Chair is elected by the membership. The other two members are appointed by the Board of Directors.
