Planning at Georgia State University focused on several themes, including: 1) creating and funding non-teaching-based research assistantships at the University and with local employers; 2) establishing an advising and mentoring program with industry, arts, and NGO-based alumni partners; 3) collecting alumni data; and 4) developing a digital humanities certificate and/or degree program.

Georgia State University’s intention is to build an infrastructure capable of encouraging and sustaining deep transformations in the training of humanists and in the attitudes of students, faculty, and administrators.
