"I am very pleased to announce the formation of the QEP Steering Committee as part of our 2026 Reaffirmation (reaccreditation) to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).

After consultation with the Faculty Senate, faculty, and deans, Dr. Rod McCrae and Dr. Renat Khatmullin have graciously agreed to co-chair the process of determining the topic for our next Quality Enhancement Plan. Over the coming days, you will receive invitations to town halls and to complete surveys.

These efforts are critical to Middle Georgia State University’s success as Georgia’s newest state university. Please join me in thanking our colleagues for taking on this project and for offering your help, as it will be needed and welcomed."
