As Provost, she oversaw all aspects of the educational and student success enterprise, as well as institutional effectiveness, planning, and accreditation. During her tenure she led multiple formal teach outs, an acquisition, unique mergers, and large-scale transfers.

While there, she co-led the development of alternative accrediting processes, redefined and led the systems for institutional change and decision-making, and served as the creator and founding director of the Commission’s Academies for Assessment of Student learning and Student Persistence and Completion.During her tenure, she was responsible for the accreditation processes, including the decision process, the peer corps and peer review, education and training, eligibility and initial accreditation, and substantive change. In her 14-year tenure at the Commission, Dr Priddy played a pivotal leadership role in the conceptualization of the Commission’s new accrediting process, Pathways, the development of the 1600+ member Peer Review Corps, the establishment of AQIP, the alternative accrediting process based on continuous quality improvement principles, and the founding of the academies.

      Dr. Priddy began her higher education career at Nicolet College (community and technical college), serving there from 1986 – 1999 as Vice President for Institutional Effectiveness, Evaluation, and Planning; Director of Research, Assessment, and Development; and English/Composition Faculty. She is a summa cum laude graduate of the State University of New York at Geneseo with a B.A. in English, a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities with an M.A. in English; and a summa cum laude graduate of Capella University with a Ph.D. in Higher Education, research and evaluation.

      Dr. Priddy currently serves on several boards in the United States and abroad. Known as an innovator, inspirational leader, and gamechanger, Lynn has focused since the 1990’s on high-quality, deeply engaged online and immersive learning as a means for access, affordability, and equity. She is a frequent national and international speaker and large-group facilitator and has consulted extensively in higher education strategy, change, and quality assurance and improvement both in the US and abroad.
