Office of Continuous Improvement
Established in 2013, the Office of Continuous Improvement has been open for more than a decade helping make work at Berea College easier and faster. We are located on the first floor of Fairchild Hall, room 104. Over the years, we have worked on several projects with individuals and departments to update processes on campus. Some of our project partners include Berea College's Farm Enterprises, Office of Sustainability, Facilities Management, Human Resources, and the Alumni, Communications, and Philanthropy Division.
Our Mission
The Office of Continuous Improvement exists to promote and sustain a campus-wide culture of continuous improvement at Berea College by supporting departments in their efforts to become more effective and efficient in meeting departmental goals and objectives.
