Following a successful site visit from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) in April 2025, Georgia Tech’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), Leaders in Progress and Service, has moved from concept to implementation. This accreditation milestone marked a major achievement and set the stage for a five-year journey to bring the vision to life.
Following a successful site visit from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) in April 2025, Georgia Tech’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), Leaders in Progress and Service, has moved from concept to implementation. This accreditation milestone marked a major achievement and set the stage for a five-year journey to bring the vision to life.
Recognizing Leaders in Progress and Service
As Georgia Tech’s newest signature initiative, Leaders in Progress and Service helps students grow as changemakers at the intersection of technology and the human condition and offers a new pathway for earning a graduation distinction — alongside traditional academic honors — that will appear on their diplomas as “Leader in Progress and Service.” The distinction demonstrates how deeply Georgia Tech values students’ contributions to addressing the world’s most complex problems and their development as self-aware, reflective professionals.
“We are excited to make Georgia Tech’s commitment to our motto a central part of our undergraduate experience,” said Roberta Berry, QEP coordinator and associate vice provost for Undergraduate Education and Student Success.
To earn the distinction, students must complete a structured sequence of learning and reflection that shows their advanced achievement as future Leaders in Progress and Service.
The Foundational Course: Building a Framework for Impact
Progress toward the distinction begins with a foundational course that introduces students to complex problem definition and professional identity development. Students learn to integrate multiple perspectives when defining challenges, and they reflect on their strengths, values, and the kinds of leaders they aspire to become.
For Emiko Jones, a business administration major, taking the foundational course was transformative. “It was a framework for thinking more deeply about how to create real, lasting impact,” she said, noting how her experience reshaped her sense of purpose. “I have learned more about myself, my ambitions, and what I want to do in the Progress and Service Forum than in any other class.”
Experiences like Jones’ are possible in part because the course is designed with flexibility in mind. While central versions of the foundational course are offered as GT 2030: Progress and Service Forum, Colleges and Schools can also customize foundational courses to fit their students’ needs, ensuring the program feels relevant across disciplines. For example, the Explore Living Learning Community (LLC) in the College of Sciences is developing its own version of the foundational course, Civil Engineering has aligned an existing course (CEE 1090) with the program — enrolling more than 100 students in Fall 2025 — and the John H. Martinson Honors Program is redesigning its curriculum around Leaders in Progress and Service. Many other Colleges and Schools are also developing tailored foundational courses to serve their student populations.
Activities in the foundational course encourage students to reflect on their strengths, values, and the kinds of leaders they aspire to become.
Immersive Learning: Turning Insight into Action
After completing the foundational course, students move into immersive learning experiences that align with their interests and goals, such as study abroad, undergraduate research, Create-X, Vertically Integrated Project (VIP) teams, internships, and other experiences that students may propose. To help students connect these experiences back to the concepts introduced in the foundational course, Leaders in Progress and Service provides mentoring and structured reflection through immersive learning mentoring cohorts. Four students participated in the pilot immersive learning cohort in Fall 2025, led by the Leaders in Progress and Service Faculty Director, Chad Slieper.
As the number of students pursuing the distinction increases, faculty and staff will play an essential role in making these immersive learning experiences and the mentoring cohorts more meaningful. A community of Progress and Service Mentoring Fellows is being developed and will guide students in connecting classroom learning with real-world impact and reflecting on their professional growth. For Jones, her involvement in immersive learning included co-founding Plates Aplenty, a nonprofit focused on reducing food waste. “Being a Leader in Progress and Service takes intention and effort,” she explained. “It is a mindset that we can use in every professional decision and interaction.”
The Summit: Where Vision Meets Action
The final step in pursuing the distinction will be participation in the Progress and Service Summit, a new campuswide event that will being together students, faculty, and prominent leaders to explore solutions to some of society’s most critical issues. At the summit, students will present their work to the broader community and demonstrate how their actions as professionals can shape the world.
Why it Matters
Leaders in Progress and Service aligns with the Institute’s Strategic Plan, addressing a long-standing need to help students understand their professional identities and societal impact. By integrating seamlessly into existing experiential learning programs, it offers a unified framework for growth, leadership, and purpose, preparing graduates with growth habits and a long-term commitment to progress and service.
“Georgia Tech graduates are already impressive, with incredible contributions to make,” noted Slieper. “But the students who achieve this distinction will stand out as true leaders — the ones who envision change in bold, meaningful ways.”

The Atlanta Bridge Program is redefining what it means to be a transfer student. Officially launched in 2025, the program is designed to ease the transition for students seeking to move from Atlanta Metropolitan State College to Georgia Tech, offering not just academic resources but a sense of belonging and identity as future Yellow Jackets.
The Atlanta Bridge Program, a pioneering partnership between Georgia Tech and Atlanta Metropolitan State College (AMSC), is redefining what it means to be a transfer student. Officially launched in 2025, the program is designed to ease the transition for students seeking to move from AMSC to Georgia Tech, offering not just academic resources but a sense of belonging and identity as future Yellow Jackets.
Unlike traditional transfer pathways, the cohort-based Atlanta Bridge Program allows students to progress together, building camaraderie and shared purpose while gaining access to a wide variety of Georgia Tech resources.
“One of the main aspects of the Atlanta Bridge Program is reducing transfer student shock,” said Susan Belmonte, associate director of Pre-Graduate and Specialized Advising Initiatives at Georgia Tech. “The courses and resources help gradually integrate students into Tech, no matter their individual timelines.”
Expanding Access
The Atlanta Bridge Program reflects Georgia Tech’s Strategic Plan, which prioritizes expanding access to higher education and creating clear, affordable pathways for talented students of all backgrounds.
“It opens doors for students who may not have seen Georgia Tech as within reach,” said Arlena Stanely, assistant vice president of Enrollment Management at AMSC. “It gives them the support and opportunity to prove they can thrive in a rigorous environment.”
Transfer students make up more than 21% of Georgia Tech’s Fall 2025 undergraduate population, and initiatives like the Atlanta Bridge Program are helping to grow that number year after year.
“Atlanta is our backyard,” said Rick Clark, executive director of Georgia Tech’s Strategic Student Access, stressing the importance of the program. “Georgia Tech can be globally excellent, but that starts with taking care of our own community.”
The Atlanta Bridge Program was made possible through a $250,000 grant from the American Talent Initiative’s (ATI) IDEAS Fund. Supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, ATI — a national alliance of high-graduation-rate colleges and universities — aims to enroll and graduate 50,000 additional high-achieving, lower-income students by 2025. Georgia Tech was one of just 16 institutions selected from a competitive pool of 47 applicants to receive this funding.
For Georgia Tech, this means building a structured, cohort-based transfer pathway that includes academic advising, mentoring, and co-curricular programming to help incoming students thrive. AMSC students who complete a minimum of 30 credit hours and earn a cumulative GPA of at least 3.3 after successfully completing required courses can transfer to Tech to complete their degree.
Unlike traditional transfer pathways, the cohort-based Atlanta Bridge Program allows students to progress together.
Seamless Integration and Academic Support
Students attend AMSC full-time while participating in the Atlanta Bridge Program, but they benefit from Georgia Tech resources like the Navigate360 advising platform and Knack peer tutoring as well as BuzzCard and library access. A “Bridge to Tech” course, taught by Belmonte through the College of Lifetime Learning, introduces students to life at Tech in a flexible, non-semester-bound format.
Academic advising is also an important aspect of the program. Evan Burnett, an academic advisor at Georgia Tech, serves as a primary advisor for the Atlanta Bridge Program students and works across both the Tech and AMSC campuses. He provides personalized guidance as students navigate the complexities of transferring, ensuring they feel confident and connected throughout the process.
“What I enjoy most is the mentorship and relationship-building,” Burnett shared. “I love getting to know each student’s story, seeing their confidence grow, and helping them realize that a Georgia Tech degree is not just possible, but within reach.”
Building Community Beyond the Classroom
This emphasis on connection reflects the program’s core purpose: creating access and opportunity through collaboration between Georgia Tech and AMSC. Faculty, advisors, and administrators from both institutions work together to create a unified support system and shape a positive student experience.
Beyond academics, the inaugural cohort has already experienced Tech culture firsthand. In June, they gathered for the Atlanta Bridge Program’s kick-off event for an overview of the program, a campus tour, and a bowling social at Tech Rec in the John Lewis Student Center. Since then, students have attended a dinner hosted by the College of Engineering, seen Young John Lewis at the Georgia Tech Ferst Center for the Performing Arts, and cheered on the Yellow Jackets against the Pittsburgh Panthers. Additional events are planned for Spring 2026 to strengthen the students’ sense of community.
Atlanta Bridge Program students and staff attend the Young John Lewis performance at the Ferst Center.
Scaling Impact Statewide
Currently serving 20 students, the Atlanta Bridge Program plans to double enrollment next year. The long-term vision includes scaling the program by partnering with multiple institutions across Georgia, thereby increasing the number of transfer students at Tech and expanding educational opportunity statewide.
