  Featured Quality Improvement Facilitator – Karen Stubberfield, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo
 
 

As the Manager of Quality Initiatives and Training at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, Karen saw the role of Quality Improvement Facilitator at her campus as be a good fit, as her experience in project management and training focused on improving business processes and gaining efficiency. Karen is currently developing a robust process training and professional development program for her division. The training will focus on process improvement and developing a “toolbox” of growth tools, such as communication, project management, and decision making.

  San Marcos Presents at NCCI Conference
 
 

Katy Rees and Matthew Ceppi conducted a pre-conference workshop at the National Consortium for Continuous Improvement conference, held in Waikiki this past July. Participants learned about measuring what is critical, aligning measures to strategic priorities, filtering measures, creating dashboards, and data collection, reporting and presentation. For more information about this presentation, contact Katy at katyz@csusm.edu


  QI Newsletter has a New Look
 
 

During the last in-person meeting of the Quality Improvement Planning Committee, the committee identified a new name for the newsletter to better reflect the newsletter’s purpose. The newsletter will now be called “Campus Quality Exchange – Sharing Across the CSU”.

If you have any notable practices that you would like to share with other CSU campuses, please submit them to rpennington@calstate.edu. Your practice may either be highlighted in the next QI newsletter, or added to the CSU Quality Showcase at: http://www.calstate.edu/QI/qishowcase/qishowcasehome.shtml.
