Abstract
There is no shortage of need regarding areas of opportunity for positive change in higher education. One university’s approach to enacting change and continuous improvement in the area of mission alignment across all graduate program curricula was evaluated for theoretical connections to the Appreciative Education (AE) framework to establish overlap and congruence with the tenets of the framework. The current theory-to-practice article includes suggestions for future research regarding ways to determine empirical findings and further the body of knowledge on the AE framework in the context of higher education.
