Call for nominations for Faculty Development in Georgia Program

Posted: September 18, 2019

The nominating period is now open for the Faculty Development in Georgia (FDIG) program. The deadline for application is November 1, 2019.

FDIG gives faculty members from institutions across the state an opportunity to continue their graduate education on a full-time basis. The program provides an assistantship that will enrich the faculty member’s professional and academic endeavors, and ensures an academic year of full-time doctoral study at the University of Georgia in the faculty member’s chosen field.

Please note that rather than applying directly to UGA for consideration, interested UNG faculty must apply through the UNG Center for Teaching, Learning, and Leadership (CTLL) to be the UNG nominee and be considered to represent our university.

To learn about FDIG and the application process, go to CTLL’s webpage.

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!
