Foundations of Excellence
What is Foundations of Excellence?
The engine of The Foundations of Excellence process is a campus-based task force – a group with broad representation from across the campus. The work of the task force begins with a campus audit of the first year for new and transfer students and continues with a nine- to twelve-month process of evaluation using the Foundational Dimensions and related performance indicators and culminates in the development of a strategic action plan for campus improvement. Institutions that participate in the Foundations of Excellence process will have access to a wide array of services and support. The Foundations of Excellence (FoE) program hosts more than 100 colleges and universities as members.
Foundations of Excellence at Lone Star College-CyFair LSC-CyFair has begun the FoE program process with the creation of a task force to develop a specific plan for improvement. The work of the task force begins with a campus audit of the first year for new and transfer students, continues with an evaluation process of current practices using FoE’s benchmark Foundational Dimensions and culminates in the development of a strategic action plan for campus improvement.
The FoE Task Force began its work in September 2011, and looks to provide the full details of our proposed plan in January 2012.
