State Opportunities and Fellowships

Governor's Teaching Fellows

The Governor's Teaching Fellows Program was established by Zell Miller, governor of Georgia, 1991-1999, to provide Georgia's higher education faculty with expanded opportunities for developing important teaching skills. The program is offered through the Institute of Higher Education at the University of Georgia (UGA).

Faculty cannot apply directly to UGA; instead, they must apply to be the University of North Georgia (UNG) nominee and be chosen to represent our university. This nomination process is being facilitated by the UNG Center for Teaching, Learning, and Leadership (CTLL).
