Last month, CBC asked for your help in selecting a QEP topic that resulted in a tie. Since then, CBC was awarded Title III Grant funding that will cover much of what the QEP topics originally proposed. This includes: 

• Onboarding 
• Career/transfer planning 
• Online readiness diagnostics/assessment and support 
• Innovated Advising and counseling  
• Implementation of a Customer Relationship Management communication system  
• Tutoring program that includes a writing/math center 
• Redesign of online curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment 

In response to this award announcement, the proposed QEP topic will address areas not covered by Title III funding, including:

• Mental health resources 
• Basic Need resources 
• Emergency aid resources
