Faculty Research Colloquium: River Research and Professional Leave

Posted: September 19, 2013

Two years ago, Robert Fuller began to develop a research project and grand adventure that he hoped to carry out during a one-year leave from teaching. In December, 2011, he formally applied for a one-year professional leave at half pay rather than the optional half-year at full pay. At the same time, he worked to develop external funding to pay the project's expenses and to make up for the loss of half of his salary.

This Faculty Research Colloquium presentation will report on the process of developing a professional leave proposal, options for taking professional leave without losing any income, and the outcome of his research trip.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
