Leadership Fellows Program

Enhancing Your Leadership Skills

As one of the first MBA programs to emphasize leadership, Terry has set a high bar in turning students into business leaders. Here’s how our program will prepare you to take the helm.

The MBA Leadership Fellows program is an opportunity for second-year MBA students interested in developing their self-awareness, interpersonal skills, and team facilitation skills, and exercising their project management and leadership skills.

This year-long experience has the following required components:

• MGMT 7011 – Leading Evolving Organizations (Second Year)
• Self-Awareness & the Enneagram Workshop (6 hours – Fall/Spring Semesters)

In addition, Leadership Fellows must participate in any two of the following:

• NPF Board Fellows program (Two Years)
• Dawgs on Top Case Competition (First or Second Year)
• Service Learning Project (Spring Semester, Second Year)
• Workforce Diversity Certificate through Terry’s Office of Diversity Relations (First or Second Year)

Before your first MBA class even starts, you start building a firm leadership foundation through a series of workshops. Those workshops continue through the end of your second year. The workshops feature hands-on activities and topics such as:

• Communication techniques
• Personal Pitch Delivery
• Presenting to an Executive Audience
• Self-assessment
• Team facilitation

Each year, UGA’s Institute for Leadership Advancement (ILA) invites senior corporate executives to campus to share their knowledge and insights with you.
