Scaling

Continuing to develop a first-year experience course, using high impact practices. This course will, ideally, be taken by all incoming freshmen who have not already completed their Institutional IMPACTS requirements. However, due to resource restraints, preference will be given to students who are first-time freshmen with no college credit. The course meets 3 hours per week and covers topics for academic and personal growth and wellness. Active Learning techniques will encourage students to tackle diverse perspectives and practice collaboration.

The College will create a dynamic roadmap to guide students on all the steps they need to take and the information they need to learn after they are admitted to the college, to ensure a successful start of their college career at Coastal.

We will increase the number of students experiencing High Impact Pedagogies as part of their curriculum across all five campuses and improve our ability to track these experiences for students.

UGA students are very well-prepared. The Class of 2027 posted an average high school GPA of 4.13, an average ACT score of 30, or an average SAT score of 1322. Often such high-achieving students have never experienced any kind of failure. But the demanding pace of a research institution like UGA often poses significant and unexpected challenges for our students.

Experiential Learning at the University of Georgia empowers every student to apply their learning in real-world contexts, equipping them with the competencies and expanded perspectives to thrive in the emerging, dynamic global society. 

This initiative centered on training advisors to help students create fuller schedules (15 or more hours) and complete Area A requirements within 30 hours, aided by the use of scheduling tools and success markers in Navigate.

The “Boost” Mindset project, so named to reflect its goal to provide participants a boost towards academic success, embodies a series of virtual workshops to which every currently enrolled student has access via SGSC’s GeorgiaVIEW LMS. The series includes content about motivation, note-taking, time management, study skills, the neuroscience of learning, etc. Those students who choose to participate may earn certificates (for which some faculty offer incentives).

Evaluate all program maps in light of the USG Core IMPACTS and update our associate pathway for our two associate degrees (Core in Arts and Core in Science) using the changes/adjustments made to Core IMPACTS. Stabilizing the leadership in the coordination of the curriculum and implementation of FYE.

This project aims to equip students with the soft skills (super skills) needed to succeed in the workplace. Savannah State University (SSU) will implement trainings, activities, and programming to teach and reinforce soft skills development

KSU aims to take full advantage of data gathered through the LMS, D2L, for a faculty audience. Our online learning unit, Digital Learning Innovations, has revised their mission to support faculty in using the LMS to manage learning in all modalities and using the data to identify problems, diagnose root causes, and take targeted actions during the semester to impact student success within the semester. The learning analytics solution, uHoo Analytics, is available to all faculty. Additionally, faculty are provided professional development in tool use and data interpretation.
