The Academic Affairs Policy Coalition works to make academics at Georgetown better for students. Because academics are such a broad and important part of life at Georgetown, the team often collaborates with other Policy Coalitions and groups on campus.
WHAT WE’VE DONE SO FAR:
- Assessed student priorities for academic changes
- Created a proposal for the expansion of available course credit for internships
- Worked with registrar on registration
- Worked with the GUSA Mental Health Team to evaluate academic aspects of medical leaves of absences
- Discussed skill tagging for courses and created a proposal to initiate the skills tagging process
WHAT WE’RE PRIORITIZING FOR THE REST OF OUR TERM:
- Continue to work with the administration on our internship credit proposal
- Facilitate student involvement and input in the registration process and any changes that may occur going forward
- Work to improve the process of medical leaves of absences based on academic concerns
- Continue with our skills tagging proposal and begin the process of tagging courses
- Work on new initiatives like textbook costs and study spaces
Feel free to email GUSA Academic Affairs Chair Sara Clark with questions, comments or concerns!
