ABAC has reliable data on its Momentum initiatives and retention and graduation rates (internal tracking, USG Qlik, and IPEDS). The top data gaps for ABAC identified during the Momentum VI Summit include:
Workshops and 1:1 consultations with educational specialists offered in-person and virtual
Green Zone training is offered to all faculty and staff to learn more about our military- connected student population. The military-connected student population is 12-14% of our total student population at Georgia Southern University.
College-wide intentional Career Readiness curriculum built into non-Core foundation courses across Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes with specific course-based assessments for credit to enable students to engage with a professional development arc beginning during their first year.

Over the past year, the Associate Provost and Provost’s Faculty Fellow have been expanding on the embedded dual enrollment pilot to include Chatham County schools. The Office of the Provost has established a partnership with the SCCPSS Superintendent's office as well the principles within the Chatham public school system to provide on-site courses where access to our Armstrong campus location would be difficult (due to lack of transportation) or awareness of DE as a viable option (lack of partnership/communication).
Georgia Tech continues its efforts to enhance academic advising through a renewed focus on major selection protocols and how students select and change majors. Georgia Tech students declare a major before admission, and academic advising is primarily major specific. Since undecided/general studies students do not exist on campus, major selection and major change protocols significantly impact the student experience.
