The College of Education will hold its Fall Convocation for graduating students on Tuesday, December 13, 2011, at 4:00 p.m. in the Peachtree Ballroom at the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel (210 Peachtree Street, Atlanta 30303). 

While the University Commencements and Hooding Ceremonies on December 14 signify the official conferral of degrees, the College of Education Convocation, a pre-commencement ceremony, is an opportunity for the college to recognize its graduates and celebrate its students' achievements. We encourage our graduates to participate in both events.

Along with our graduates earning their degree this December, the college will also recognize its August 2011 graduates at this event.

Convocation will feature guest speaker and COE alumnus Sandra Hofmann (B.S. '74), president and board director of Women in Technology, and CIO-in-residence with the Advanced Technology Development Center at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Ms. Hofmann is also the College of Education's 2011 Distinguished Alumnus recipient.

Registration for this event is required and graduates and degree candidates wishing to participate should confirm their attendance by December 8, 2011, at coeconvocation@gsu.edu.

Blurring Boundaries: An International Educational Development Conference

April 10-11, 2012

Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel
210 Peachtree Street
Atlanta, GA 30303  

Many countries have requested, indeed mandated, that their universities serve as levers of change for educational improvement in their communities. Universities are being asked to use their formidable intellectual resources to expedite the development of education and educational capacity for children and adolescents. For many universities, however, active involvement in school improvement has proven challenging because a template for such work does not exist - at least not one that is readily applicable to a variety of nations and cultures. 

The overarching goal of this conference is to provide examples of practices and research that cross the traditional boundaries between institutions that are involved in educational improvement for children. This goal is accomplished by bringing together not only schools but also the philanthropic, business, governmental, university and other institutions that support education.
