Meetings
The Learning Support Academy is hosted by Complete College Georgia and is part of a series of discussions with faculty and staff focusing on the connection of large-scale initiatives across the system to promote student success. The theme of the conference series is "Momentum Year"--an effort to combine several proven elements of success during a student's first academic year to help them stay in school and graduate on time.
Guided Academic Pathways: Mapping for Student Success brought together selected academic department heads, faculty leaders, advisors, and university administrators to strengthen their understanding and appreciation of academic maps, and assist them in developing the insights and skills necessary to actually construct these maps and apply them at their home institutions.
On March 1, Complete College Georgia hosted a symposium “Data Analysis for Advising” at Gordon State College’s Nursing and Allied Health Sciences Building. The symposium featured remarks from Tom Sugar, Senior Vice President of Complete College America, as well as an opportunity to share experiences with colleagues from across the state.
The workshop-format event built on Complete College America’s Guided Pathways to Success and the Lumina Foundation’s Beyond Financial Aid and explored strategies for advisors, institutional researchers and others to collect and analyze data to strengthen advising practices. This workshop provided institutional examples of data collection and analysis, effective approaches to establishing relationships between advisors and institutional researchers, as well as practical ways to inform decision making.
