Mission
Leadership UGA, established in 1985, is a program unlike any other at the University. The purpose of this program is to recognize the truly outstanding leaders on this campus, provide them a unique opportunity to interact with each other and prominent leaders, and to become more aware of the social issues facing our campus, community, state, nation, and world.
This year’s Leadership UGA theme is “The Power of One”. We will learn and explore stories about individuals that have made an impact in their community. We will also be reading selected stories from the book The Soul of a Citizen:Living with Conviction in Challenging Times. Through participation in Leadership UGA students will also have a better understanding of themselves and their values, a commitment to serving their community, and an understanding of one’s self and others. The program emphasizes community, integrity, active citizenship, justice, life-long learning, interculturalism, responsibility, and collaboration.
The 2011-2012 Leadership UGA program will accept applications until September 2nd and 4:00 P.M. Leadership UGA will begin with an all-day retreat on September 25th. The programs will take place on Tuesday evenings on: September 27th, October 11th, October 25th, November 8th, and November 29th. The program will conclude with a graduation on December 4th.
