In December of 2023, the Student Success Deep Dive Task Force sought your input through a survey to investigate how our departments at UNG are delivering the 4 Pillars of Student Success: Academic Achievement, Belonging & Engagement, Sense of Purpose, and Well-being. This survey served as a foundation to inform a deeper examination of where and how UNG supports student success through purposeful delivery of services, experiences, programs, and initiatives. Dr. Chaudron Gille and I invite you to attend a Town Hall to provide an update on our endeavors in exploring Student Success, including some analysis of the survey results and potential next steps.
