Second Century Initiative

The Second Century Initiative (2CI) is in its third year. The initiative will result in the addition of at least 100 faculty between 2010-2015. The primary goal of the initiative is to build internationally recognized scholarly strength and critical mass around common research themes in order to enhance Georgia State University's overall quality, interdisciplinary richness, and competitiveness. It is designed to build upon the University’s strategic plan, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration. An expected outcome is the acceleration of collaborative faculty research to support the expansion of new knowledge, scholarship and research activities. The initiative is intended to increase our level of competitive, federally funded research and to elevate GSU's overall recognition for excellence in research.
