Quality Initiative (HLC)
The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) Quality Initiative invites campus-wide engagement in culture, inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility (CIDEA) to create a climate of intercultural proficiency and understanding.
换妻社区 is accredited by the HLC. The Quality Initiative is a project that Hope undertakes between years five and nine of our 10-year accreditation cycle.
Beginning in fall 2020, academic and administrative units identified two or three CIDEA goals they undertook in that year.
The 1.C. Working Group serves as the advisory group for the Quality Initiative. They provide feedback and support throughout the year and share unit successes with the broader campus community.
