AQIP Action Projects

Every institution associated with AQIP is asked to clarify certain major quality initiatives it declares as being central to the success of its mission. Action projects might include specific improvement projects that drive an institution’s quality program. Action projects are selected by an institution to promote learning and cultural change and respond to problems, opportunities for improvement, or challenges. Every AQIP institution reports to AQIP annually on the progress or completion of its projects. Action projects are shared via the AQIP website to promote collaboration among AQIP institutions.

Fort Hays State University participated in the AQIP Strategy Forum in February 2006. New AQIP Action Projects were established based on strategic projects discussed at that time. They are reflected in our 2007 Performance Agreement with KBOR and are listed below:

• Improve Undergraduate Student's Writing Abilities
• Develop Mobile Learning Environment
• Internationalize the Campus and Curriculum
• Strategically Manage New Enrollment Opportunities: Kansas Turnpike Corridor and Hispanic Initiative
• Improve Learner Outcomes in Computing

Retired AQIP Action Projects

Occasionally, action projects are retired. When projects are accomplished, or when conditions that warranted their consideration have changed, then it is customary that those projects are no longer called "vital" to the success of the mission, and are subsequently dropped. FHSU retired action projects are:

• Developing the Workforce Baccalaureate Degree
• Attract and Retain Qualified Students
• Reengineering the University Student Information Systems
• Mapping and Improving Systems Processes in the Virtual College
• Improve Environment that Fosters Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity
