UGA Fact Book 2018 Fact Book 2018 50th Edition THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA www.oir.uga.edu Fact Book 2018 Cover design by Timothy P. Welsh Bulldog Print + Design Cover photos by Peter Frey UGA Photographic Services, UGA Marketing and Communications Cover At nearly 160 years old, the cast iron Arch bordering North Campus and Downtown Athens, represents both the past and the future of the University of Georgia. The Arch is modeled after the Georgia state seal featuring the three pillars of wisdom, justice and moderation. To that end, the Arch is a reminder of the university’s ties to Georgia as the birthplace of public higher education in America and its commitment as a land-grant and sea-grant university to serve the people of Georgia.

  • The Inclusive Academic: Strategies for Maintaining Balance in a Changing Academic World
    The Inclusive Academic: Strategies for Maintaining Balance in a Changing Academic World 18th Annual Teaching Matters Conference – Abstracts by Session Thursday March 12, 2020 Session 1 – 8:30 – 9:30am A - Instructional Complex (IC) 111 How I Changed my Syllabus: A Discussion with a Grade Appeals Committee Prof. Jean Cook, Dr. Kathie Barrett, and Dr. Jill Drake, University of West Georgia As student populations get more diverse and faculty evolve and innovate their classes to be more inclusive, the opportunities for untended miscommunication and lack of clarity in expectations between students and faculty grow. These unintentional consequences can be reflected in increased disputes over grades. Students may feel aggrieved by the institution as a whole, and faculty can feel judged or at risk in their positions. Grade appeal or grade grievance procedures can be intimidating, yet the grade appeal committee is mainly focused on finding a fair resolution for BOTH the faculty and the student. Based on the presenters' combined twenty years of experience on a university Grade Appeals Committee, this panel discussion with cover common policy and communication missteps by students and faculty as well as share best practices for effective policy, rubric, and syllabi drafting. Attendees will leave prepared to effectively approach or even avoid a grade appeal hearing. B - Instructional Complex (IC) 207 Research Workshop: Developing a Supportive Network Dr. Katie Wester-Neal, Dr. Brent Johnson, Dr. Julie Little, and Dr. Beth Pollock, Gordon State College One strategy that academics can use to maintain balance in changing times is to develop a network of supportive colleagues. In this workshop, we plan to start a research network through which participants can encourage and assist each other in reaching professional writing and research-related goals.
