Eliminating Equity Gaps Through Data and Institutional Change

View the recording

For the past decade, Georgia State University (GSU) has been at the leading edge of demographic shifts in the southeast region. Using data to inform systematic institutional change, GSU has doubled its enrollment of underrepresented populations, raised graduation rates by 70%, and closed all achievement gaps based on race, ethnicity, and income level.

Through a discussion of innovations—from AI-enhanced chatbots and predictive analytics to meta-majors and micro-grants— Timothy Renick will share lessons learned from GSU’s transformation and outline concrete and scalable steps that you can take on your campus to improve outcomes for underserved students while increasing revenues.
