Call for nominations: SEC Academic Leadership Development Program Fellows
- Nomination deadline: Monday, April 10
The University of Georgia’s SEC Academic Leadership Development Program (ALDP) Fellowship allows faculty to gain valuable knowledge and experience in academic leadership. To be eligible, a nominee must be a tenured faculty member or have a standing appointment as service or administrative faculty.
The program is part of a broader initiative involving the academic initiative of the Southeastern Conference, known as the Academic Leadership Development Program. The mission of the SEC ALDP is “to identify, develop, prepare, and advance faculty and early career administrators from within the Southeastern Conference universities.”
The goal of UGA’s ALDP is to expose faculty interested in administration to the challenges and rewards of such institutional service and to prepare them for potential leadership positions in the academy. Among UGA’s various leadership development opportunities for faculty, this program is the most externally focused, offering an in-depth look at the operations of other SEC schools.
Up to four outstanding individuals are selected each academic year to serve as UGA ALDP Fellows. During the fellowship year, they gather at monthly intervals to meet with senior campus leaders and participate in leadership development activities tailored to the interests of the cohort. In addition, Fellows attend two SEC ALDP workshops hosted by different SEC schools in October and in February.
Selection process
Individuals interested in participating in the SEC ADLP program should consult with the appropriate senior administrator in their school, college, or unit regarding nominations. This is an advanced leadership program, and most successful candidates have had some administrative experience at the department-head level or above.
Senior administrators may nominate a limited number of nominees; please visit the program page for more information or to submit a nomination.
