The Power of Analytics: Delivering on the Promise of Education Symposium
October 2016Valdosta State University
CCG Collaborative Capacity Grant Symposium
This day-long session on October 13 provides an opportunity for institutions to explore the adoption and use of analytics as a strong indicator for success in higher education as well as share best practices and discuss ways to address outstanding challenges. This will also be an opportunity to educate those who may not currently be involved in CCG activities and discuss strategies for broader campus engagement in completion work.
Beyond Financial Aid is a toolkit designed to help two- and four-year institutions close attainment gaps for low-income students. BFA expands the concept of “financial supports” for college beyond grants, scholarships and loans and describes six college-tested strategies for helping low-income students overcome the significant challenges created by limited resources. BFA features a self-assessment that college teams can use to analyze their service capacities and an interpretation guide to help map out their first steps toward strengthening these capacities.
On October 3rd and 4th at the Professional Sciences Conference Center at Middle Georgia State University in Macon, Complete College Georgia will convene a meeting for institutions to explore the BFA toolkit, analyze their student and community data, and identify priority strategies to support low income students on their campuses.
