Dr. Glenn Whitehouse and Patricia Rice join Maggie and John to discuss the new Quality Enhancement Program (QEP) at the university - transferrable skills. What is it? Well, employers are looking for skills like leadership, communication, teamwork, but most of our courses don't have that in their title, though students are learning these and many more skills that are vital.  Adjunct faculty are given a privilege to not only promote these skills within their courses, but can also be employed at this university to help support students in this process.
