Team established to improve approval process for academic courses, programs
June 24, 2019
A new process improvement team is focusing on how the approval process for academic
courses and programs can be streamlined to increase the number of new programs and
courses offered, increase enrollment, and modernize the student experience. The Alaskans
Leading Program and Course Approvals team — or ALPACA — was developed in response
to a strategic enrollment process objective. The changes that come from this process
improvement group are intended to increase offerings and empower and engage faculty
in their innovate pursuits.
Members of this team include Jennifer Tilbury, Meryum Udden, Hayley Williams, Nicole
Cundiff, Christina Sutton, Amber Lammers, Sean McGee and Sandra Wildfeuer. They are
facilitated by members of the UAF Process Improvement Team: Jennifer Harris, Briana
Walters, Amy Bristor, Kelly Gitter and Amber Leytem.
