SEEK King Cake while learning about OLLU’s QEP and new Staff Assembly

All Staff are invited to celebrate Mardi Gras and enjoy some King Cake while learning about OLLU’s Quality Enhancement Plan, “SEEK Transformation,” and hearing about the new Staff Assembly structure.

The event will be held in the Mall Area on Tuesday at 2:30 p.m.

Quality Enhancement Plan
OLLU’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is part of the university’s reaffirmation of accreditation process through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). All institutions undergoing reaffirmation of accreditation must develop a QEP. OLLU’s QEP is SEEK (Skills, Experience, E-Portfolios, Knowledge) Transformation. It is focused on having students develop e-portfolios to collect signature assignments, document skills and experiences, and make connections between course work and career readiness. Students will use their e-portfolios to develop résumés for job and graduate school applications

Staff Assembly

Staff Assembly is the new representative body for OLLU’s staff. It was created by bringing together the functions of the Staff Advisory and Staff Organization. Staff are invited to learn more about the Staff Assembly and how to become involved.

OLLU’s QEP named ‘SEEK Transformation’

Students Daniela Ponce and Haven Ortiz are winners of the naming contest for OLLU’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP): SEEK Transformation.

SEEK (Skills, Experience, E-Portfolios, Knowledge) Transformation is the new E-Portfolio program designed to ensure that students have an extensive portfolio to use for job and graduate school applications and interviews when they graduate.

Students in the freshman Applications of Learning classes will build e-portfolios and use them to begin collecting signature assignments and documenting skills and experiences that will prepare them for careers and graduate school. As students, through their undergraduate courses, they will continue adding to their e-portfolios during General Education courses and classes within their majors. The e-portfolios will be built within Handshake, an online system available through OLLU’s Center for Career Development and Testing that students can continue to use after they graduate.

SEEK Transformation was developed as the university’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). The QEP is an essential part of the reaffirmation of the accreditation process that all universities undergo every 10 years. OLLU, which is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, (SACSCOC), is currently in the reaffirmation process.

A QEP pilot program was conducted last semester with students in the Application of Learning (NDS 1311) class. Students took part to name the QEP.
