Baldrige system
 

The Baldrige System continues to dominate the State's plans. We hope to move ahead in our training in applying Baldrige Criteria to our program and instructions. Possible basrriers include lack of funding from the State. New standard requires such a system to be in place. The system works but does require collaboration and implementation throughout our faculty and students.
