The University of North Georgia recently received a federal grant of more than $2.1 million to establish a program that will build on the success of orientation, Weeks of Welcome and academic advising programs.
By meeting the eligibility requirements, UNG plans to establish a Success Oriented Academic Reform program on all five campuses.
"This grant will allow UNG to design a holistic approach of engaging students in their first year by helping them with their academics and adjustments to the college experience," said Carol Adams, associate vice president and dean of University College.
Formed through a partnership between UNG's Divisions of Student Affairs and Academic Affairs, SOAR's focus is to help freshmen integrate into the college life and know the resources at their disposal.
