QEP Mission

The mission of the Lawson State Community College’s Quality Enhancement Plan, Freshman Encounter: e3 4life is to provide freshmen with skills and knowledge that will contribute to their success at Lawson State and provide effective engagement strategies to facilitate their success.

The program assists students in making the academic and social transition to college.  The Freshman Encounter: e3 4 life is designed to help students learn to better navigate the scope and depth of what a full college experience has to offer; broaden individual skills, abilities and horizons; strengthen intellectual and individual responsibility and independence; and actively involve students in the learning process.

Relationship of the QEP Mission to the Vision & Mission of LSCC

The Freshman Encounter: e3 4 life  is both integrated and committed to the College’s Mission Statement of providing “accessible quality educational opportunities” and of “providing affordable and accessible lifelong learning opportunities in order to prepare students for employment or career advancement, enable students to transfer to senior colleges and universities…”  And, equally important, directly connects to the college’s vision to:  promote quality opportunities for lifelong academic, professional and personal learning for students; provide an accessible, integrated collegiate learning experience focused on instructional excellence and skill preparation for employment; provide a dynamic student life experience...; and promote continuous improvement through advanced technologies and administrative services.

The Link between the QEP and LSCC's Institutional Goals

Although one could argue, in assessing the design and projected impact of the QEP, that the QEP supports all Lawson State Community College’s Institutional Goals, the following Institutional Goals are more closely integrated into the fiber of the QEP:

Goal 1:    To develop an exemplary and world class instructional program;

Goal 2:    To maintain a comprehensive exemplary student services division;

Goal 3:    To thoroughly integrate technology college-wide in instruction;

Goal 6:    To enhance the faculty and staff development program; and

Goal 8:    To make the community a part of the college.
