QEP Steering Committee Appointed
Provost Warwick Arden has announced the appointment of the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) steering committee and the launching of the new accreditation website to provide updates regarding the progress of the university’s 10-year reaffirmation review by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).

The QEP steering committee is a faculty-led committee charged with guiding the process of developing the plan.

Members are:
- Meredith Davis, Professor, Graphic and Industrial Design
- Leda Lunardi, Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering
