Celebrating a meaningful milestone with the DEAC community 🎉

We’re grateful that members of the Wilmette Institute team, Justin Scoggin and Jeff Albert, could take part in the DEAC Centennial Celebration in Washington, DC (April 19–21, 2026)—marking 100 years of advancing quality distance education and looking ahead to what’s next.

As an institution accredited by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC)—a nationally recognized accrediting agency dedicated to ensuring quality in online and distance learning—we were honored to be part of this global community of educators and innovators. During the ceremony, DEAC also recognized institutions that have achieved accreditation, celebrating their commitment to educational excellence.

From rich conversations and shared learning to moments of connection and celebration, the experience was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we work together toward a common purpose.

Here’s to continuing the journey of innovation, learning, and impact 💫

Applying to the Certificate Program doesn’t have to be overwhelming—you don’t have to do it alone. 💛

Join our Admission Support Sessions and get personalized guidance every step of the way. Whether you need help completing your application, refining your personal statement, or submitting documents, we’re here for you.
