Complete College Georgia-Georgia Tech (CCG-GT) Steering Committee. The best practices outlined above are guided by the CCG-GT Steering Committee, a diverse team cross-campus leaders who provide input for our student success initiatives and promote engagement of our Momentum work across Georgia Tech. Chaired by Dr. Steven P. Girardot, Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, the CCG-GT Steering Committee meets several times annually to review, refine, and assess retention and completion strategies.
Georgia Tech continues its efforts to enhance academic advising through a renewed focus on major selection protocols and how students select and change majors. Georgia Tech students declare a major before admission, and academic advising is primarily major specific. Since undecided/general studies students do not exist on campus, major selection and major change protocols significantly impact the student experience.
Exploring equity in success metrics and expanding access through enhanced support for underserved populations (e.g., first-generation students, transfer students)
Georgia Tech’s curricular analytics efforts are ongoing to study degree programs, identify majors with high program complexity, and develop adjustments designed to lower complexity and accelerate time to degree completion.
The curricular analytics analysis aligns to the Expand Access focus area of the ISP and overlaps with our examination of equity in student success metrics described in Activity 2.
Georgia Tech’s Big Idea from Momentum Summit IV in 2021 was to link our Momentum work with our Institute Strategic Plan (ISP) by establishing an internal mini-grant program—the Amplify Momentum Project or GT-AMP. Evaluating the mini-grant projects and examining their impact was a key component of our 2023 Momentum plan.
