Coordinator of Academics and Accreditation

Introduction

Katie Bowers is the Coordinator of Academics & Accreditation in the Office of Concurrent Enrollment Programs. In this role, Katie works to ensure PNW’s concurrent enrollment program is in alignment with NACEP standards.

Why I Love Concurrent Enrollment

Concurrent enrollment gives high school students the chance to earn college credit and gain exposure to college while in high school. My job includes creating onboarding and professional development opportunities for high school concurrent enrollment teachers, as well as providing support for PNW Faculty Liaisons and high school administrators, students and families.
