New Department Heads Workshop Series

The New Department Heads Workshop Series will be offered as a one-year community to support department heads who have been in administrative positions three years or less. However, we also invite seasoned department heads to attend and share their experiences. Participants will gather for three meetings during the fall and three meetings during the spring to discuss administrative issues including:

  • Budget management and fiscal concerns
  • Mentoring faculty and documenting teaching excellence
  • Preparing faculty for the annual review
  • Considering ethics in leadership positions
  • Navigating conflict resolution and student complaints, and
  • Preparing faculty for promotion and tenure

The series seeks to foster a common cultural dialogue of leadership at the University of North Georgia, and is open to all department chairs.
