OQI advances a culture of continuous improvement that supports Carleton’s strategic goals. We create opportunities to collaborate, innovate, and develop in order to encourage learning, facilitate engagement, and build community. We believe in living by Carleton’s Service Excellence Standards. You can find our updated, tailored Service Excellence Standards here.
All Services provided by the Office of Quality Initiatives are supported by the Organizational Excellence Steering Committee.
