CCG Collaborative Capacity grants provide funding for one-time symposia or a series of gatherings to address strategies to meet CCG goals for institutions across the state. The grant’s purpose is to support the convening of faculty and staff from at least two (and preferably more) institutions of higher education (IHE) to create plans, policies and procedures to assist the institutions and state to better meet CCG goals. Six symposia are planned for Fall 2016.
This project proposes to develop a customized publication of resources and services that can strengthen support for first-year low-income students to address their needs beyond financial aid. Please join us on November 3 as we solidify resources within our region to increase retention and completion rates for students who are in dire need of our help. The University System of Georgia and The Lumina Foundation will offer insights to ensure academic success for low-income students in your service area and throughout the state of Georgia.
This professional development opportunity on October 20th will explore best practices to support core learning outcomes for academic advising. Sessions will convey a consistent message to increase student retention and persistence system-wide while providing a fundamental framework in which institutions can build upon to best serve their unique student populations. Attendees will have the opportunity to leave sessions with a foundation to develop meaningful assessment plans to make data driving improvements to academic advising.
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.
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.
This day-long session on September 30 will begin with greetings, an open discussion about sophomores at our institutions, a keynote by Dr. Carolyn Denard, Associate Provost for Student Success and Director of the Center for Student Success, Georgia College and State University, followed by concurrent sessions that will be repeated after lunch. Lunch will include roundtable discussions on various relevant topics.
The CCG Collaborative Capacity grants are a follow-up to the 2016 CCG Regional Meetings that gathered schools from four different regions of Georgia to pool resources in search of solutions to CCG challenges. As stated at the Regional Meetings, these grants are intended to be the next stage in planning to produce concrete, actionable steps to address identified challenges. The notes from each of these meetings can be found here.
