A new fellowship will support faculty members at Georgia State University’s Perimeter College who are pursuing doctoral degrees on the university’s Atlanta Campus.

The Pathway to Attaining the Doctoral Degree (PADD) at Perimeter College is a collaboration between Perimeter College and the Graduate School at Georgia State.

Faculty members at Perimeter College who do not hold terminal degrees are eligible for tenured positions. However, they may not hold a position higher than an associate professor. This fellowship will serve to increase career opportunities and expand career ladders for faculty.

The Diversity Dialogues, part of the action plan to address the recommendations of the Task Force for Racial Equality, brings together the university community to discuss ways to address racism and inequality.

This discussion included national, regional and local diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) leaders, with a conversation about moving Georgia State toward inclusive excellence. Speakers examined best practices in DEI initiatives and policy, exploring Georgia State’s evolution as a national leader in the field.
