  • Georgia State University Complete College Georgia
    2016 Status Report Georgia State University Complete College Georgia Overview When it comes to higher education, the vision of the United States as a land of equal opportunity is far from a reality. Today, it is eight times more likely that an individual in the top quartile of Americans by annual household income will hold a college degree than an individual in the lowest quartile.1 Nationally, white students graduate from college at rates more than 10 points higher than Hispanic students, and are more than twice as likely to graduate with a 4-year college degree compared to black students.2 The United States Department of Education cites a six-year graduation-rate of 39% among Pell-eligible students,3 a rate that is 20 points lower than the national average.4 In 2003, Georgia State’s institutional graduation rate stood at 32% and underserved populations were foundering. Graduation rates were 22% for Latinos, 29% for African Americans, and 18% for African American males. Pell students were graduating at rates far below those of non-Pell students. Today, thanks to a campus-wide commitment to student success and more than a dozen strategic programs implemented over the past several years, Georgia State’s achievement gap is gone. The graduation rate for bachelor-degree seeking students has improved 22 points—among the highest increases in the nation over this period (Chart 1). (See Appendix for all charts.) Rates are up 36 points for Latinos (to 58%), and 29 points for African Americans (to 58%). Pell-eligible students currently represent 58% of Georgia State University’s undergraduate student population, and over the past three years have graduated at rates, on average, equal to those of non-Pell students.

  • Georgia State University 2020 Campus Plan
    Georgia State 2020 Campus Plan: Voter Engagement University SUMMARY As Director of Student Civic Engagement at Georgia State University, it is my pleasure to share with you our campus plan for voter engagement. With the pandemic, and subsequent push to online learning and engagement there is an even greater need to create a collaborative plan to reach our students about the importance of voting. After all, traditional methods of setting up voter registration tables, visiting classes, and so on- are no longer feasible. Students quickly tired of online engagement, and social media outlets and emails became flooded. So how do we reach our students with the education and tools they need to vote? What is our best strategy? Our strategy developed very quickly. First our Student Civic Engagement team set out to “find our people”. I think we would all agree that, once we started looking, we have A LOT of people who share in our mission to engage students in the democratic process. Next, we chose one main message to send to students: visit vote.gsu.edu. By using one main site- one main message- we hope to our message is loud and clear. Other strategies include collaborative events and marketing and having a “vote early” push. After the November 3rd election, we plan to report and celebrate all our accomplishments together. Through the creation of our voter engagement plan, we created a large collaborative working group, one which I hope will become institutionalized as a CLDE committee. I am very excited for what we can do as a collaborative team.
