Sewanee’s Quality Enhancement Program (QEP), “Learning to Speak – Speaking to Learn,” has fulfilled its promise.

The program, with roots in the 2005-2006 “Eloquence Initiative,” the 2012 Strategic Plan, and the 2013-2014 revisions to the General Education curriculum, was designed to foster improved speaking and listening practices, cultivate a richer appreciation for the spoken word as a critical and cultural resource, and deepen understanding of the rhetorical qualities of communication and community in a world of controversy and division.
