| Dear Colleagues: IMPORTANT: QEP 20-Minute Information Sessions Next week Florida Atlantic will undergo our 10-year on-site re-accreditation review by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). An integral component of this accreditation review is evaluation of the institution’s Quality Enhancement Plan or QEP. During the visit, reviewers may ask students, faculty, or staff about the QEP titled: Education Reimagined: Engaging Students through Peer-Assisted Learning. It is essential that all members of the community are familiar with the QEP. If you would like to learn more, please join us for one of three 20-minute online QEP information sessions: Tuesday, March 26 3 – 3:20 p.m. Wednesday, March 27 11 – 11:20 a.m. Thursday, March 28 10 – 10:20 a.m. For security purposes, register for the session you select by clicking the date/time and the Zoom link will be emailed to you. These sessions will be 10 minutes of information about the QEP, followed by your questions. We hope people throughout the university community are excited about the new plans at FAU to engage and excite students in the learning process through course redesign with the LA model. For additional information, visit www.fau.edu/QEP. For questions or accommodations, email qep@fau.edu. Sincerely, Brittanney Adelmann, Ph.D. Director, Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) Jennifer Bebergal, Ed.D. Co-lead, Quality Enhancement (QEP) |
