Quality Enhancement Plan Selection Committee
Dear University of Houston Faculty, Staff, and Students:
In March, we announced the selection of Community and Co-Curricular Engagement as the focus of the University of Houston's Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). A QEP should reflect a carefully designed course of action that enhances undergraduate student learning within the framework of the university's mission and goals. With this purpose in mind, a QEP Planning Committee has been formed that includes faculty representation from all undergraduate-serving colleges, staff members, and students. Dr. Rex Koontz, Professor and Director of the School of Art will serve as chair of the committee. This committee will be tasked with developing the proposal that will guide implementation of the QEP at UH and there will be opportunities for participation in the process by the broader university community. Committee members are listed below.
