Emerging Leader Program

The Emerging Leader Program (ELP) celebrates the signal academic career achievement of promotion to the rank of professor. ELP both congratulates faculty on this accomplishment and provides them the opportunity to consider the next phase of success and career progression. This program brings newly promoted professors together with others who have flourished in this career phase to gather inspiration, build community, and foster sustained engagement in support of UGA’s tripartite mission of teaching, research and service.

At this event, Provost S. Jack Hu will offer insights on the role of faculty in the leadership of our institution. Further, Vice Provost for Academic Affairs Jeanette Taylor and Associate Provost for Faculty Affairs Elizabeth Weeks will provide insights into honors and awards, and leadership opportunities open to professors. A panel of esteemed, tenured professors who embraced leadership opportunities after their promotions will share insights into the new, deeper or continuing engagement they have embraced at this career stage.

Professors are invited to this event via UGA email. For more information, please email the Faculty and Leadership Development unit of the Office of Faculty Affairs at [email protected].
