The Office of Leadership Programs maintains institution-wide responsibility for management, coordination, and development of all Georgia College leadership programs and initiatives. Beyond Georgia College’s core leadership programs, which are directed and administered by the Office of Leadership Programs, the staff works collaboratively with members of GC's faculty and staff to develop affiliate programs. Affiliate Programs are courses and student programs that engage with leadership-related topics, including mentorship, civic engagement, social justice and inclusion, strategic thought, and global citizenship, and have as their goal developing students as citizens and leaders for the public good. Students may review their options and choose from a range of Georgia College’s leadership programs by visiting gcsu.edu/leadership. For questions about curricular and co-curricular leadership experiences, contact the Leadership Office.
