SEC Academic Leadership Development Program

Four faculty members, including Tracie Costantino of the Lamar Dodd School of Art, will be among the faculty and administrators from the 14 institutions of the Southeastern Conference that gather at UGA this month for a three-day workshop that aims to develop the next generation of academic leaders.

The workshop is part of the SEC Academic Leadership Development Program, which began in 2008 and has two components: a university-level program designed by each institution for its own participants and two, three-day, SEC-wide workshops held on specified campuses for all program participants. The workshop at UGA will be held Oct. 14-16, and the spring workshop will be held at the University of South Carolina.

Congratulations to these faculty members, who represent a real cross-section of campus. They are some of our best at thinking about learning, as well as how to enhance the student experience going forward. Costantino, for one, has been at the center of developing NSF-funded collaborative teaching projects between the School of Art, the College of Education and the College of Engineering.
