The University System of Georgia and The Carl Vinson Institute will present census data to provide insight on low-income students in your service area and throughout the state of Georgia. Please note, your participation in the CCG Symposium will help inform and prepare you for the Statewide CCG Forum on October 3rd and 4th at Middle Georgia State University.
Recommended Audience: First Year Coordinators, Advisors, Academic Affairs, Financial Aid, Counselors, Student Affairs, Institutional Research, Student Success Coaches, and Retention Coordinators.
CCG Collaborative Capacity Grant Symposium
This day-long session on September 23 is an idea exchange to improve college completion. Morning sessions will consist of speakers focusing on three approaches (self-operated child care centers, on-campus contracted child care centers, and child care resource and referral service). The working lunch will feature speakers on funding opportunities for low-income student parents. The afternoon activities will allow time for attendees to work on action plans for their institutions and share their insights.
To register, please contact Dustin Worsley.
Recommended Audience: Faculty, staff, administrators, and/or student representatives.
At the 2015 CCG Forum, campus representatives asked the USG CCG staff to help facilitate regional conversations around college completion strategies and activities. A component of these conversations was hoped to be greater collaboration across institutions as well as deeper involvement of faculty in the work of college completion. In response, Complete College Georgia is hosting four regional gatherings in the spring of 2016 to begin the conversation and help foster collaboration.
