The fifth cohort of Georgia Tech’s Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) has been selected. Starting in Fall 2020 and continuing through Spring 2021, the 16 participants will take part in leadership development workshops, a fall weekend activity, small-group work, self-assessments, and 360-degree assessments. The 2020-21 group includes four College of Sciences faculty: David Ballantyne, Facundo Fernandez, Brian Hammer, and Jake Soper.
“As we enter our fifth year, we are so pleased with the continued interest and engagement with the Emerging Leaders Program from faculty across the Colleges,” said Rafael L. Bras, provost and executive vice president for Academic Affairs and K. Harrison Brown Family Chair. “Since 2016, the program has supported faculty who are passionate about continuing their leadership journey and, in so doing, has promoted a growing culture of leadership at Georgia Tech.”
