    Description

    The University of North Georgia: 150 Years of Leadership and Vision celebrates UNG’s growth from the North Georgia Agricultural College to the University of North Georgia, a five-campus institution of higher learning, a designated state leadership institution, and military college of Georgia. Throughout these changes, UNG’s students, faculty, and staff continue to exemplify leadership, civic engagement, and cultural enrichment in such fields as business, dramatic arts, cyber security, education, government, health sciences, and the military.

    Edited by Dr. Katherine Rose Adams, Dr. Michael Lanford, and Dr. Jason Mayernick, with contributions from 36 UNG administrators, faculty, staff, students, and graduates, this book explores UNG’s history; athletics; consolidation; National Institute for the Study of Transfer Students; community engagement and partnerships; mission of access and dual enrollment; Honors Program; Center for Teaching, Learning, and Leadership; global engagement; military leadership and global military programs; diversity and Allyship; presidential leadership; and future scholarship. The University of North Georgia: 150 Years of Leadership and Vision traces the diversity of UNG’s past, present, and future impact on the North Georgia region, state of Georgia, the United States, and the world.
