What is a Momentum Year?
Dr. Tristan Denley, Chief Academic Officer for the University System of Georgia, provides an overview of USG's Momentum Year approach.

Momentum Summit II
Building on the experience and successes of the past year, the Summit will provide institutional teams with an opportunity to reflect upon their Momentum Year plans and the work they have accomplished to date and identify what remains to be done in order to fully implement a Momentum Year on their campuses by Fall 2019. Additionally, the Summit is an opportunity for institutions to think more deeply about how the Momentum Year integrates across the breadth of a student’s experience in college. Participants will work through a series of engaging and creative exercises to develop personal plans for action that will inform campus-wide implementation plans.
Mindset Summit Agenda
The goal of the Mindset Summit is to help instituitons understand more about fostering productive learning mindsets in a way that allows them to take the necessary next steps on their campus.
Focus Areas and the Momentum Year Webinar
As institutions develop their plans for the Momentum Year, the most frequently raised questions involve the development and implementation of Focus Areas (sometimes called meta-majors). To help answer some of these questions, the University System of Georgia hosted a web conference on focus area development and implementation on Friday, April 20 with representatives from Columbus State where a focus area model has been in place for a several years, and Nikolas Huot of Complete College America and formerly of Georgia State University.

My research examines the nature and impact of students’ achievement motivation, or reasons for trying in school. Specifically, I aim to (1) document motivation trajectories across development, (2) explore personal and situational mechanisms through which motivation changes, and (3) design interventions tailored to the individual and learning context. Much of my research employs person-oriented analyses, which I use to understand students’ motivation and inform how interventions can be customized to meet students’ unique needs.
