Process that identifies relevant experiences
for college credit receives the University’s ninth award
University of Phoenix today announced it has been honored for
the sixth consecutive year with the “Showcase in Excellence”
Process Level award from the Southwest Alliance for Excellence
(SWAE). This year, the University was recognized for its Prior
Learning Assessment Professional Training Portfolio, which
identifies relevant learning, work and life experiences that can be
applied toward college credits.
“University of Phoenix is honored to be selected as a recipient
of the 2014 ‘Showcase in Excellence Award,’” said Tim Slottow,
president of University of Phoenix. “The University is committed to
innovation in all areas of the organization, and this award
acknowledges excellence in a process that assists in providing
exceptional educational resources and services that help our
students successfully navigate their higher education
experience.”
The Showcase in Excellence Award recognizes organizations for
one specific process that is innovative or cutting-edge. The
process may be used as a role model in comparison to competitors or
result in exceptional performance. Organizations were encouraged to
apply for any organizational process they believe is exceptional,
relating the process to one of six categories aligned with the
Baldrige criteria.
“University of Phoenix’s recognition by Southwest Alliance for
Excellence year after year demonstrates their continued dedication
to improve academic and operational excellence,” said Karen
Shepard, executive director of the Southwest Alliance for
Excellence. “We are proud to empower organizations to pursue
performance excellence, improve outcomes and contribute to the
economic strength of their community and state.”
The 22nd annual Performance Excellence Program recognized
organizations for excellence in quality, performance and outcomes.
The program, modeled after the Malcolm Baldrige Award criteria,
provides not only an opportunity for recognition, but also valuable
feedback regarding where an organization is positioned on the
quality continuum. The goal of the program is to improve results in
organizations throughout Arizona, Nevada and Utah using the
Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence.
