State Representative Stacey Evans (D-Atlanta) has been appointed by Speaker Jon Burns (R-Newington) to serve on the House Study Committee on Assessing the Semester and Quarter Systems at USG and TCSG Institutions.
“I’m thrilled to be appointed to the study committee to assess the semester and quarter systems at USG and TCSG schools,” said Rep. Evans. “Making sure that our systems track best practices that yield practical results for our students—our future workforce—is crucial to building the future Georgia we all strive for.”
Created by House Resolution 1384, the House Study Committee on Assessing the Semester and Quarter Systems at USG and TCSG Institutions will examine respective advantages and disadvantages of semesters and quarters for institutions of the University System of Georgia and the Technical College System of Georgia, and whether the anticipated benefits of converting to the semester system have been realized. The study committee will have the opportunity to submit their findings into proposed legislation during the 2025 legislative session.
Speaker Burns also appointed State Representatives Shaw Blackmon (R-Bonaire), Ginny Ehrhart (R-Marietta), Mike Cheokas (R-Americus), and Chuck Martin (R-Alpharetta) to this study committee.
