Dr. Sorto passes out documents on the updated proposed QEP timeline and discusses the status of where the QEP is. As well as goes over the responsibilities of groups comprised of QEP members tasked to finalizing sections of the document.

 

Dr. Olson expresses to put the most effort into the assessment plan and hope to collaborate with other team members since President Trauth expresses that the assessment portion is the most important from the experience of past QEP plans.

 

Dr. Sorto shows everyone the model document that members should follow to meet the criteria for finalizing the QEP plan.

 

Teams break into groups
