Written by

PEAK, which stands for “Professional Expectations, Attendance and Knowledge,” is the name of Southwestern Community College’s new Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) — an essential element in the re-accreditation process through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.

The decision to focus on developing work-ready professionals was made after seeking and receiving significant feedback from regional employers. PEAK will be available for the first time in the spring semester of 2017 on a limited “pilot” basis in order for officials to get feedback and make any necessary modifications before full implementation begins in the fall 2017 semester.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
