GOSS One-Day Spring Seminar 2023

---

Student success necessitates agility. We may often focus on the leaps students need to make to adjust to the rigor and expectations of college, but we higher education professionals must also be agile in helping students make those leaps. What do we do to transform classrooms, college policies, mindsets, and praxis to support students’ journey toward success? What are we doing to reach students where they are and not only acclimate them, but set them up to thrive within and beyond our institutions? How can we tear down barriers so that we might rebuild the path to success? What do we do to keep students from slipping into the chasm?

The Georgia Organization for Student Success (GOSS) invites you to join us February 10, 2023, in Macon at Wesleyan College in conversation over these and related questions. Potential topics include: 

· Strategies and/or practices for becoming a student-ready college across all facets of higher education, such as: 

     o Recruiting & Admissions 

     o Advising 

     o Wraparound services 

     o Academic support services 

     o Teaching 

· Agility in learning and pedagogy, academic support, and/or administration

· Achieving true equity, access, and inclusion for students from varying backgrounds 

· Evidence based practices in higher education 

· Helping students attain executive functioning skills 

· Other ideas? We’d love to read them!

We welcome proposals for individual presentations, panel presentations, roundtable discussions, and mini-workshops in a 25- or 50-minute format, as well as “lightning round” presentations of 5-7 minutes.
