Serve-Learn-Sustain is Tech’s new quality enhancement plan (QEP), a key component for reaffirmation of accreditation in which a university must develop a long-term plan to support student learning that also reflects the Institute’s mission. Serve-Learn-Sustain will improve undergraduate education by developing academic courses and experiences that combine community engagement with sustainability. Beril Toktay (Center faculty director ) and Ellen Zegura co-authored the QEP and are executive co-directors of Serve-Learn-Sustain.
The Center looks forward to collaborating on Serve-Learn-Sustain initiatives that engage Scheller College students.
