The mission of this leadership program is to “advance women’s leadership in the world by empowering our students to aspire to and achieve leadership roles”. It provides women at GSU with education, leadership skills, and self-awareness to realize their ultimate potential by building confidence in oneself, one’s professional work, and one’s engagement and impact within their community.
GSU’s Women Lead program is specifically focused on growing and building women leaders with intersectional backgrounds. Through this engagement, our colleagues and GSU’s students have formed relationships that extend beyond mentorship and employment. More than 67% of Alight’s interns in 2022 identified as ethnically diverse as a direct result of our relationship with minority-serving institutions.
The Military Outreach Center assists reservists, National Guard and active duty servicemembers, veterans and their dependents with the support and services they need to reach their academic goals.
Each center employs a staff of advocates, all of whom are military veterans or dependents, prepared to serve those who have served. The Military Outreach Center supports military-connected students through the development and implementation of outreach programs and services focused on meeting their unique needs. By consistently promoting and collaborating with community-based veteran and military-affiliated organizations, the MOC fosters partnerships that benefit student-veterans academically and professionally.
The IDEAL program is an Inclusive Post-Secondary Education (IPSE) program at GSU with a focus on creative media, art, film, theater, and music. Our mission is to prepare students with intellectual disabilities with job skills and employment-readiness information while providing access to university education, resources, and support that leads to higher levels of self-determination, meaningful employment, greater independence, and a higher quality of life.
IDEAL provides a two-year, five-semester course of study where the students can participate in work-study and internship experiences and participate in a variety of extracurricular activities on campus.
The Gender and Sexuality Resource Center (GSRC) is an extension of the Multicultural Center and focuses on providing services, resources and intentional support for students identifying as or connecting to LGBTQ+ and varying gender identities.
The GSRC provides services including programming, workshops, organizational support and mentoring that focus on all identities within the LGBTQ+ and varying gender communities. It supports student engagement by aligning their purpose with personal goals that will enhance students’ academic and career success by building a culture that fosters identity awareness, identity acceptance and support of all students from LGBTQ+ and varying gender identities.
