FEB 2017
Thank You GT 1000 Instructors!
From Dr. Lacy Hodges (CAE)

Thank you for teaching GT 1000 in Fall 2016! This year, we offered 94 sections of the class and 1,816 incoming freshmen registered for GT 1000. Your participation in the GT 1000 program is incredibly appreciated, and I want to personally thank each and every one of you for your dedication to helping our first-year students thrive here at Tech. Research has shown that one of the key ways that students feel part of their college community is through connecting with faculty, staff, and administration, and through your efforts in GT 1000, you've helped us to show our newest Tech students that we care about them and their success.

OUE is on Twitter!

OUE has started a Twitter account to increase interaction with students and partners across campus. We're going to post your stories, events, student profiles, and more. This account will also function as a "help desk" for students that have questions about our programs. Follow us @GTOUE and spread the word!

Continued Success with CAS Workshops

Liz Kazungu (CAS) gives us an update on the success of past workshops, and details on future workshops.
