What is SharePoint?

SharePoint is a web-based collaborative platform that integrates with Microsoft Office.

Middle States Application

The Middle States site will serve as the collaboration platform used by the Steering Committee and each of the eight Working Groups in preparation for our 2020-2021 Self-Study.

This site will serve the following two purposes:

A centralized document repository for all relevant evidence related to the work of each group. A platform for cloud-based document collaboration.

If you have any questions about this site please direct them to John Runfeldt at runfeldtj@wpunj.edu or 973-720-2725.

You can also visit the Middle States Self-Study: 2020-2021 website at the following link: www.wpunj.edu/middle-state-self-study​
