Building Pathways for Success: Historic $80 Million Gift to Support Major Efforts to Transform Downtown Atlanta Campus

Building Pathways for Success: Historic $80 Million Gift to Support Major Efforts to Transform Downtown Atlanta Campus

An $80 million gift from the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation will help Georgia State University begin what is perhaps its largest transformation project ever. The foundation’s contribution will help fund $107 million in upgrades across Georgia State’s downtown Atlanta footprint, a slate of nine projects set to reinvigorate and reimagine the campus experience.

The gift is the largest in Georgia State’s 111-year history, and the largest ever by the foundation to a University System of Georgia (USG) institution.

The Building Pathways for Success Initiative, approved conceptually by the USG Board of Regents’ Committee on Real Estate and Facilities on Tuesday, Nov. 12, includes projects centered around Hurt Park and Woodruff Park, two marquee downtown greenspaces amid Georgia State’s classroom and administrative buildings.

High School Students Solve Real-World University Challenges

High School Students Solve Real-World University Challenges

Students of the Veritas School of Social Sciences came together at Georgia State University on Wednesday (June 28, 2023) to learn more by tackling challenges that corporate and institutional leaders face — including at the university itself.

The Veritas Corporate Immersion Day brought more than 35 students ages 14 through 17 to Georgia State, where they heard from university leaders and were tasked with forming potential solutions to issues ranging from cybersecurity training, student engagement and operational matters to student involvement, enrollment and course success.

The Veritas School provides access to academic and professional skills training that places students on pathways to excellence at colleges and universities, and toward high-earning careers. The aim is to close academic opportunity and economic inequality gaps for Black and brown students through programs like Veritas Corporate Immersion, a debate institute, a global travel program and programs in career readiness along with K-12 teacher training.
