#29 Closing the Achievement Gap at Georgia State University (with Dr. Tim Renick)

Talking About Cities with Carol Coletta of The Kresge Foundation

Georgia State University’s successful decade-long effort to use big data to improve student success – especially among students of color and first-generation students ­– is the focus of the latest episode of the Talking About Cities podcast series hosted by Kresge Senior Fellow Carol Coletta. Dr. Tim Renick, senior vice president for student success, explains how GSU used hundreds of points of data already available to craft warning signs and interventions that head off problems facing students early, keep them on track to graduate and close achievement gaps between different groups.
