College's communications director joins new class of Women's Staff Leadership Institute

Jen Williams, senior communications director for the College, is among the participants selected for the 2019 Women’s Staff Leadership Institute. This initiative, offered by the Office of the President and the Provost’s Women’s Leadership Initiative, is designed to support and encourage women to flourish, advance, and make their fullest contributions during their careers at UGA.

The institute includes mentoring conversations with senior administrators, learning experiences with some of the extraordinary women leaders at UGA, the opportunity to explore and develop each participant’s leadership identity and capacity through expert-led workshops, and building a close professional network among cohort members.

In her nomination, Dean Denise Spangler noted Williams’ role in supervising the College’s communications team and the challenging, long-term projects they have taken on, often starting from scratch.

“She provides leadership and vision for the College’s website, marketing activities for programs such as Double Dawgs, print materials such as our annual report and annual alumni magazine, and our social media presence, among their many responsibilities,” she said.

The institute runs April through November.
