The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is part of our ongoing effort to support student learning and success.
The QEP process is designed and mandated by our University’saccrediting body as a data-driven and grassroots undertaking.
It is an opportunity for us to collaborate, innovate, and make a positive impact on our campus community.
Past QEPs have established programs and initiatives that are now part of the academic fabric of 91´óÉñ, including Experiential Learning (EXL) and the recently rebranded Engage.
91´óÉñ’s new Quality Enhancement Plan, determined by the campus community, is Career EDGE (Excellence, Development, Growth, Experience).
Career EDGE prepares our students for meaningful professions through enhancing career development, self-development, and professionalism.
The Career EDGE program development committee, comprised of faculty, staff, and students across campus, has developed specific goals over the past year.
• Goal 1 is to support students through enhanced career advising and mentorship opportunities.
• Goal 2 is to support students through enhanced integration of coursework and National Association of Colleges and Employers career readiness competencies.
Potential initiatives being discussed to support these goals include:
• Assisting students in career progression
• Integrating two key National Association of Colleges and Employers competencies in coursework (career and self- development, and professionalism)
• Providing incentive grants for students, faculty, and staff to innovate around Career EDGE goals
A pilot program and Faculty Learning Community will be launched this fall.
If you wish to provide input on further Career EDGE progress, please attend our next town hall, at 3 p.m. Oct. 1 in BAS S102.
