PIT Crew support begins with a conversation with the project sponsor or departmental leadership. Interested departments can start that conversation by filling out the intake form or by contacting Amber Leytem (arleytem@alaska.edu, 474-5113).
Departments will be asked to provide a short description of the project, the desired timeline, and the identified project sponsor (the sponsor is the person ultimately responsible for the process, such as a Director or Vice Chancellor).
During the week of January 7, 2021, a small group of UAF faculty, staff and administrators met for nine hours to create a process flowchart of the current Academic Program Review process and to identify rubs in the current process. Rubs are anything that is not working and/or makes the process difficult or expensive. Facilitated by the UAF PIT Crew, this work was completed to determine whether a full-scale process improvement effort was the next best step.
