QEP Topic Proposal And Selection Process

The Office of the QEP assembled a QEP Topic Selection Committee with faculty, staff, and student representation from across the university.  The committee was tasked with leading the topic proposal process, vetting potential topic proposals, and making recommendations on the QEP to the Senior Leadership Team.

In an effort to make the next QEP topic selection an inclusive and transparent process, the Office of the QEP and the Topic Selection Committee requested input and topic proposals from across the university. We heard from various faculty, staff, and students from across the university.  The university community was encouraged to attend workshops and to submit a QEP Topic Proposal. 

Below are the QEP Topic Proposal Submission Guidelines along with the dates and times for workshops that were held to answer questions about submitting a topic. The workshops were also opportunities for the university to learn more about the QEP and to provide input on what the next QEP should be.  

The Office of the QEP sought topic proposals from the APSU community. Those with ideas for the next QEP were encouraged to submit a QEP topic proposal. Detailed information regarding the QEP topic proposal guidelines and resources below. 

 

To support topic proposal submission process, the Office of the QEP hosted a series of workshops to inform the university community of the requirements of the QEP and to answer questions. 

 

The workshops were held virtually.

  • Monday, February 7th from 12:30-1:30

  • Thursday, February 17th from 9:30-10:30

  • Wednesday, February 23rd from 2:30-3:30
