Chancellor's PEEQ Action Plan presentation set for Dec. 14

UW-Eau Claire faculty, staff and students are invited to a presentation on the PEEQ Action Plan by Chancellor Brian Levin-Stankevich Dec. 14 from 3-4 p.m. in Schofield Auditorium.

PEEQ — the Program to Evaluate and Enhance Quality — was a yearlong self-study process to help departments and units evaluate their mission centrality, quality, cost and opportunities for change. Based on recommendations developed by the PEEQ Evaluation Team and in consultation with vice chancellors, deans, directors and chairs, the chancellor has identified ways in which the university can more effectively meet its mission to serve students. He will share his action plan with the campus at the Dec. 14 meeting. The action plan and a video of the presentation will be available on the chancellor’s Web site following the meeting for those unable to attend.

Faculty and staff also will have an opportunity to discuss the action plan with the chancellor during a faculty and staff meeting scheduled for Jan. 26 from 3:30-5 p.m. in Schofield Auditorium.
