During the 2023-2024 academic year, the QEP Topic Selection Task Force reviewed input from the university community through the strategic planning process and institutional data to identify the topic for our next QEP. The next phase of the QEP is developing the topic into an action plan based on a review of research-based best practices and continued dialogue with the university community. The QEP Research and Design (R&D) Team, representing a wide range of stakeholders across the university, including faculty, staff, administrators, and students, will lead this phase. The QEP research and design process will take place primarily during the 2024-2025 academic year leading up to the on-site visit in March 2026.
