OMED's programs are always evolving to provide students with the necessary “tools” to succeed in Georgia Tech's rigorous environment. From its bridge programs (Challenge, Transitions, and Graduate Transitions) to its various academic programs, OMED Educational Services is among the elite academic support organizations in the nation. |
| DUAL DEGREE/TRANSFER COACH PROGRAM |
| The Dual Degree/Transfer Team Coach program is designed to connect small groups of incoming dual degree/transfer students with successful dual degree/transfer students at Georgia Tech who are trained in problem solving, academic success, and navigating the system. This program is used in conjunction with GT Transitions. As a result, students who have participated in the past have academically outperformed those who have not participated in the program. |
| FRESHMEN TEAM COACH PROGRAM |
| Freshmen Team Coach program is a year long program that begins in the fall of every school year. This program is designed to support freshmen students (both academically and socially) through their first school year at Georgia Tech. A "Team Coach" is assigned to a group of participating students. This coach is an upperclassman who will be responsible for helping freshmen get adjusted to their first two semesters. During the school year, team coaches will provide help with tutoring, registration, study habits, and a wide variety of 1st year issues. |
| GRADUATE TRANSITIONS |
| GRADUATE TRANSITIONS is OMED's program designed to help acclimate students to the academic and social environments and to introduce students to the many resources available here at Georgia Tech. The purpose of our planned activities during GRADUATE TRANSITIONS is to allow the new Georgia Tech Graduate student to become oriented to Georgia Tech by establishing a dialogue with returning students and learning from their shared experiences. Students who have participated in OMED's past Graduate preseason orientation have academically outperformed those who have not participated. |
| GT TRANSITIONS |
| GT Transitions is a bridge program that is designed to better prepare incoming minority dual degree and transfer students for the Georgia Tech environment. This program is not designed as a substitute for the general campus orientation program, but rather a more in depth supplement that targets the institute's underrepresented minorities. In addition, this program introduces students to available resources on campus, establishes a network base with returning students, and helps students achieve their academic goals. |
