Hiwassee sends student missionaries
On May 4, following the weekend celebration of Hiwassee College graduation, four Hiwassee students joined Chaplain Eric Doolittle for a real world education in mission. After a day of travel by plane, taxi, sailboat, and 4x4 truck, they arrived in Anse-a-Galets, Haiti.
Anse-a-Galets is the principal town on Isle de La Gonave, off the coast of Port-au-Prince, and is one of the poorest areas of the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.
The team faced many challenges, but represented our community well in service, in worship, and in bringing hope to this isolated community. Read the full article.

Hiwassee College continues to move forward towards accreditation by TRACS, the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools. As follow up to the action of the TRACS Accrediting Commission at its April 5-7 meeting, the college is requested to provide greater detail in its institutional faith statement and to assure all components of the TRACS template are addressed.
“We look forward to continuing our discussion with TRACS,” said Hiwassee President Noseworthy. “This is an opportunity for Hiwassee College to clarify and affirm its theological position as a United Methodist-related college. We will be true to our tradition as we continue our work with TRACS.”
College officials were assured that TRACS leadership is interested in Hiwassee College being a part of the nationally accrediting body, recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. “We had reason to anticipate more significant progress at TRACS recent meeting, but that was not to be,” Noseworthy said.
During its April 17 meeting, the Hiwassee Board of Trustees received a full report from the President regarding the accreditation process. Noseworthy said, “The Board is resolved to address issues and options regarding accreditation. Trustees and administrators will work on issues regarding options for partnerships with other colleges and universities, and recognition by other accrediting bodies.”
Noseworthy noted that the college already has submitted its accreditation application for the dental hygiene program to the American Dental Association.
