e society we serve can be confident that a program meets the quality standards that produce graduates prepared to enter a global workforce. We began as the educational standard against which professional engineers in the United States were held for licensure.

Developed by technical professionals from ABET’s member societies, our criteria focus on what students experience and learn. Sought worldwide, ABET’s voluntary peer-review process is highly respected because it adds critical value to academic programs in the technical disciplines, where quality, precision and safety are of the utmost importance.

Last Friday, we observed Juneteenth/Freedom Day, a day that commemorates June 19, 1865, when news of emancipation finally reached enslaved African Americans in Texas, which was more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation had taken effect.

Juneteenth reminds us that freedom is not simply the existence of rights. It is also access to the information, education and opportunities that allow people to fully participate in society.

As an organization dedicated to advancing quality higher education worldwide, ABET recognizes the importance of expanding access to learning and opportunity. By preparing future engineers, technologists and computing professionals to address society's most pressing challenges, we contribute to a future where innovation and opportunity are more broadly accessible.

Learn more about the historical legacy and significance of Juneteenth through the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Mark your calendar: 📆On Thursday, June 25 at 4 http://p.m. BST, University World News and ABET are hosting the free live webinar "Innovating to Widen Access and Success in Higher Education."

Featured panelists include Graeme Atherton, director of the World Access to Higher Education Network; Roberta Malee Bassett, global lead for tertiary education at the World Bank; Pamela Dube, vice-chancellor of the Central University of Technology in South Africa; and global higher education expert Jamil Salmi.
