The art of research can be a daunting task. Finding an idea is hard enough without considering how to construct your methods and analyze your data. It can be overwhelming to try and describe your idea to another person, and getting support can feel impossible.
At the Quantitative Methods Consulting Center (QMC), we understand how hard the research process is, and we’re here to help! Our consultants are educational researchers trained in statistics and research methods and offer a wide range of services, including research planning and design, software support, survey and assessment design, grant support, and much more. Our goal is to help you connect the dots for your research project, from development to reporting. We have expertise in a wide range of statistical tools and will work with you to find a method that matches your goals and data.
We also offer office hours to assist with questions from students in ANOVA and regression classes. Stop by Aderhold Hall Room 321A on Wednesdays from 10 a.m.-noon with your coursework questions and get in-person help. To request a consultation, please visit our website or email us at qmcenter@uga.edu.

To recognize high-achieving Mary Frances Early College of Education students, the Marketing and Communications Office features “Amazing Student” profiles on the College’s website and social media channels.
We encourage faculty and staff members who work closely with students to submit a nomination using the Mary Frances Early College of Education Amazing Student nomination form. If the criteria are met, a marketing and communications team member will contact the student about how to submit the profile.
Note: Students must be majoring in the College of Education to qualify.
Nominees can be amazing students for a variety of reasons, but we’re looking for well-rounded students whose accomplishments extend beyond the classroom. There needs to be something—preferably multiple factors—that makes the nominee stand out. The nominator can provide details in the nomination form, but the primary criteria are:
- Outstanding academic credentials
- Scholarship (research and/or creative activity)
- Honors and awards
- Community service
- Leadership positions
- Significant participation in student organization(s)
- Overcame major obstacles to succeed in college
- Volunteer/service-learning work
- Other related factors will be considered, but they must relate directly to the student’s work or involvement at UGA
Nominate an amazing student today!

“These personal seat licenses are essentially depreciating assets,” he said.
