Seeking Input on Revised QEP Framework

Posted on by

Help define and refine our QEP–scroll down for a link to a survey and a list of our open questions.

QEP Background

The QEP’s original focus on Vocation, “Discovering One’s Purpose in a Changing World,” was determined to be too large by the SACSCOC On-Site Reaffirmation Committee. They felt we had too many wide-ranging activities and left vocation too nebulous to be successfully assessed. They suggested that we narrow our focus to “career and life planning” based on their findings from our written report and the interviews they conducted with both students and faculty.

With this suggested focus in mind, the QEP Interim Implementation Team has created an initial framework to guide the redevelopment of goals and SLOs. We would like students to learn about the process of career and life planning as opposed to an emphasis on getting jobs. We feel this is more in line with our liberal arts and Holy Cross approach to education.
