Institute for Leadership Advancement
Our Mission: To develop values-based, impact-driven leaders.
The Institute for Leadership Advancement (ILA) is a privately funded unit within the Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia. ILA is an innovative, ever-evolving certificate program that combines coursework with real-world experience to sharpen the next generation of leaders who stand out distinctly because of their unwavering commitment to make values-based, impact-driven decisions.
ILA students and alumni continuously demonstrate the core values of responsibility, stewardship, excellence, integrity and purpose. For these reasons, recruiters target the ILA network for internships and career positions at companies and organizations such as Chick‑fil‑A, EY, Google, KPMG, Newell Brands, The Home Depot, Wall Street banks, Delta and UPS. To date, ILA’s leadership development programs have graduated more than 1,500 UGA students.
