QEP Survey Summary

The QEP Steering Committee asked faculty, staff, students, alumni, local employers, businesses and partners to respond to a survey. More than 800 individuals responded to the survey. Part of our QEP has to do with the idea of FUSE – helping students Find, Use, Synthesize, and Evaluate information ethically and effectively. Your input helped us as we continue to develop innovative ways by which students can successfully position themselves for their futures.
