An AEE review team also conducted a site visit, examining the FOP offices and filing systems, and presented a written report to FOP detailing its strengths and weaknesses.
"Our greatest strength was our leadership pool. There was a lot of enthusiasm for the program," McKee said.
Outgoing Steering Committee member Kristin A. Bevington '01 added that support and commitment from the administration, namely Dean of Freshmen Elizabeth Studley Nathans, made the program particularly strong.
The weaknesses AEE found were minor, Bevington said. The report recommended better systems for logging equipment use and improvements to the paperwork filing systems.
To receive final accreditation, the steering committee responded to AEE's findings, submitting plans for improving identified weaknesses, FOP officials said.
