MMI Earns SACSCOC Torch Award

At its annual meeting the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) announced the recipients of its inaugural Torch Awards, a new recognition program celebrating member institutions for their leadership in affordability, student success, and post-college outcomes. Like so many SACSCOC member institutions, the Torch Award winners have raised the bar for what higher education can deliver for students and their communities. Marion Military Institute (MMI) was named in the Post-College Success category among more than 780 member institutions. (Read the full listing of Torch Award recipients). The Torch Awards elevate the work of institutions that demonstrate exceptional commitment to access, quality, accountability, and measurable improvement, reflecting SACSCOC’s mission to highlight and support student-centered excellence across the region. The recipients were selected based on their strength across multiple indicators in each award category, rather than overall ranking.
