This summer, the University System will be offering a New Deans and Department Chairs Workshop at Middle Georgia State University in Macon, Georgia, July 17-18, 2023
The USG Teaching & Learning Conference is back! Join us from March 27-29, 2023, at the Classic Center in downtown Athens, Georgia.
The Capstone event for the Momentum Summit VI will be an in-person gathering of campus Momentum team leadership to present and share plans for Momentum and engage with peers on moving this work forward across Georgia.
Institutions across the University System of Georgia collect every year to share experiences, learn new strategies, and plan their work for student Momentum for the year ahead. The Momentum Summit V is an opportunity to review and refine the work institutions have committed to, assess progress, and chart a path forward for building upon success.
The 2022 CoReq Academy will offer an opportunity to reflect upon what has been learned from the past few years and delve into what is on the horizon. The Academy will include some general topics as well as discipline breakouts to allow for conversations around specific topics in English, Math and Learning Support administration.

The 2021 USG Advising Academy will be held virtually on Thursday, September 23, from 9:00 am to noon. Focused on reinforcing an integrated Momentum Approach to the transition to college success, the 2021 Advising Academy convenes campus leaders in advising, enrollment management, and orientation and transition to discuss progress, practices and challenges in supporting students from the inquiry stage through to their transition to careers, professions, or academia.
Over the past four years, the System has made tremendous gains in implementing a Momentum Approach to student success. The past eight months have tested some of this work and underscored its vital role in achieving our goals for increasing the number of Georgians with college degrees and closing gaps in academic achievement.
The overarching goal for the Summit is to support institutional teams to make concrete plans for sustaining gains in student Momentum and address those areas that have been affected by disruption, by reflecting upon the past year’s accomplishments and challenges. The past year has underscored the need for strong support and engagement for students across the institution, reinforcing the value and benefit of the Momentum Approach. Equally, it has exposed a range of ways in which existing and planned work around Purpose, Pathways, and Mindset has been delayed, disrupted or needs adjustments.
The “unprecedented” and uncertain nature of the last six months, particularly the sudden shift to remote learning, has forced us to get creative in totally unexpected ways and develop new student success superpowers to guide our students to the finish line—all while holding academic policies and expectations high.
We have tested the limits of flexibility when it comes to digital student engagement, delivery methods, remote teaching and learning, and meeting student learning outcomes. How do we continue supporting students and keeping them engaged when they’ve pivoted so much they’re dizzy, and so are we? Let’s share our successes, struggles, and lessons learned as we begin to imagine what student success will look like in a post-COVID pandemic world.
The Statistics Pathway Fall Summit will provide institutions that are participating in the prototype to share their experiences, challenges, and thoughts for next steps. For institutions not in the prototype, the Summit affords the opportunity to learn from our collective experience and to discuss the potential for pursuing joining a second cohort of institutions in the prototype in the coming year. Institutions with no current plans to develop a statistics pathway are encouraged to join the discussion as well.
