The University System of Georgia: Early Progress. Learning from the Reform
Education Commission of the States
This report documents the results to date of reforms underway from the University System of Georgia (USG)--Strong Start to Finish, one of the six systems that make up the first phase of the Strong Start to Finish initiative, an initiative of Education Commission of the States. In March 2019, USG officially launched the Momentum Approach, which expands the Momentum Year into a broader paradigm that focuses on student success from first contact through completion. USG-Strong Start to Finish has provided the resources and motivation to transition from the original Momentum Year initiative into the expanded Momentum Approach, which also integrates the Complete College Georgia efforts. The goal for the USG-Strong Start to Finish project has been to expand the Momentum Year initiative systemwide so that all incoming students complete gateway courses in math and English and select an academic focus area in their first year. The project continues to focus on several priority action areas to build upon the work of the first Momentum Summit. All 26 institutions in the USG system are engaged in the USG-Strong Start to Finish work, and collectively they serve more than 44,000 first-time students each year. This report describes the context of reform within the state, the current status of project activities, and some early insights coming out of the work.
