Strategic Vision 2029

Our Strategic Path Forward

Strategic Plan 2029 marks a bold new chapter for South Georgia State College (SGSC)—one grounded in data, guided by community insight, and aligned with the evolving needs of students and the region we serve. Developed through a comprehensive planning process and shaped by input from stakeholders across the institution and regional community, this plan reaffirms SGSC’s commitment to student success, academic innovation, and institutional sustainability.

At the heart of this plan are six strategic goals that reflect SGSC’s mission and its role within the University System of Georgia (USG). Each goal focuses on a key area of opportunity and improvement, designed to ensure measurable progress, informed decision-making, and meaningful impact. Together, they form the framework that will guide our priorities, initiatives, and resource allocation through 2029:

• Goal 1: Enhance Academic Programs & Student Success
  Develop and deliver academic programs aligned with workforce needs while improving course access, scheduling, and completion outcomes for all students.

• Goal 2: Strengthen Student Success & Engagement
  Enhance student support services, advising, and engagement strategies to increase retention, satisfaction, and academic performance.

• Goal 3: Expand Educational, Community, and Business Partnerships
  Build regional partnerships to improve recruitment, dual enrollment, adult learner access, and implementation of experiential learning initiatives.

• Goal 4: Strengthen Community & Business Partnerships
  Foster deeper collaboration with industry leaders and community organizations to provide students with experiential learning and career-ready opportunities.

• Goal 5: Support Infrastructure & Technological Resources
  Invest in facilities and classroom technology that create dynamic, modern learning environments and support evolving instructional needs.

• Goal 6: Responsible Financial Stewardship
