The UGA Office of Faculty Affairs (OFA) provides professional development opportunities for academic leaders and registration is now open. We invite newly appointed academic unit administrators (department heads, associate and assistant deans, and other academic leaders) to register for the New Leader Program.

  • Fall 2023 New Leader Program (NLP): This cohort program will introduce a variety of important policies and provide opportunities to strengthen management and leadership skills through interactive discussions and activities.
