‘Pitches for a Purpose’: Annual INNOVATE Pitch Competition features new twist
"INNOVATE is about shaping the future for a purpose," says Lynsey Steinberg.






Committed to cultivating a welcoming environment for all students, faculty, and staff at Augusta University
Working hand-in-hand with university administrative units, academic departments and senior leadership, the Office of Institutional Access, Success, & Belonging (ASB) strategically builds, aligns and coordinates efforts throughout the university to advance the organizational goals and to enhance Augusta University’s business operations.
In order to remain a destination of choice in today’s quickly evolving society, Augusta University understands that it must attract and develop talent from a broad array of backgrounds and experiences. Therefore, ASB works to foster an environment that celebrates unity and access to opportunity. We also promote cultural humility/responsiveness in which all backgrounds and cultures are valued. In addition, we emphasize respect, trust and empowerment, achieved through transparency, open communication, and the development of collaborative working relationships that extend beyond the campus to the surrounding communities that Augusta University serves.
Our Certificate is a microcredential designed to increase awareness and understanding of the importance of cultivating a welcoming environment for all of the AU community. It is offered in partnership with Wellstar MCG Health and other campus leaders. This certificate reflects the university's commitment to cultivating a welcoming educational environment that prepares our students to thrive in our global society as well as effectively recruit and retain our faculty and staff.
