GSUPEP has a working committee, which is always accepting new members, The committee helps build curriculum, organize events, direct internship and service-learning programs and aid the GSUPEP coordinators.
Other USG employees, including Georgia State Atlanta Campus faculty, can teach in several ways:
For-credit classes may be taught, but they must be taught as an overload and paid at the Perimeter College adjunct rate.
Enrichment courses may be taught on a volunteer basis. While enrichment courses must fall within faculty specialty areas, these courses can be more creative in scope, interdisciplinary and team-taught. They also may vary in length.
Tutoring opportunities are available at almost all facilities. We can use tutors in any subject area, but math and writing are our most critical needs. At this point, we still mostly are using volunteer tutors.

Faculty from non-USG schools can be hired as adjunct faculty to teach for-credit courses, and they must complete the full Human Resources hiring package and be hired by the appropriate department chair in their discipline.

Faculty from non-USG schools are always welcomed as volunteers to teach enrichment courses or to tutor students for test preparation and for supporting our classes.
