  • 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.

  • PUBLIC SERVICES and CONTINUING EDUCATION Mr
    PUBLIC SERVICES AND CONTINUING EDUCATION Mr. Bill Muntz, Director 903 North Patterson Street PUBLIC SERVICES The Office of Public Services, with offices in the Regional Center for Continuing Education, 903 North Patterson Street, administers a number of educational and educa- tion-related programs that are presented on campus as well as other sites located throughout South Georgia. Public Services programs at Valdosta State are designed to aid residents of south Georgia in continuing their education. The personnel in Public Services desire to learn of the needs and interests of area residents that can be met best by the university. Efforts are made to identify resources located in the institution and in the community to develop educational programs and services to meet community needs and interests. There are three major divisions in Public Services: Continuing Education, Distance Education, and Satellite Services. CONTINUING EDUCATION (NON-CREDIT COURSES) The Continuing Education Division oversees professional development programs, leisure-type programs, and adult and children’s programs, for persons in Valdosta and surrounding communities. The division presents seminars and courses for persons in professions, business, and industry. Some courses are developed especially to meet the licensing or certification requirements of specific professional groups. Continuing Edu- cation activities also includes Learning in Retirement, Children’s Programs, and Personal Enrichment Classes. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools requires the use of the CEU (Continuing Education Unit) by member institutions and provides this definition: “One continuing education unit is ten contact hours of participation in an organized, continu- ing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction.” Continuing Education administers the CEU procedures for the University.
