Supervisor Development Header

Supervisors lead people and manage processes. Departments and units with skilled and knowledgeable supervisors strengthen the University as a whole. Great supervisors develop their faculty and staff so that they can better fulfill the mission of UGA and meet the grand challenges of our time.

 

 


SUPERVISORY FUNDAMENTALS 

As of Fall 2020, Supervisory Fundamentals has moved to an online format. Each session of Supervisory Fundamentals
will begin with a live Zoom meeting, and the majority of the content will be delivered through online, self-paced
modules. A live Zoom wrap-up meeting and Q&A will conclude the program. 

Supervisory Fundamentals is a foundational program designed to deliver the most essential knowledge and tools for supervising at UGA. Our online modules will allow participants the ability to learn the ins and outs of employment
guidelines and policies and managing a staff. 

 

 


THE UGA SUPERVISORS' ACADEMY  

Sharpen the tools you gained in Supervisory Fundamentals and take your team from good to great! The UGA Supervisors’ Academy is a cohort-based program that provides a professional network of other supervisors navigating similar situations whose advice is rooted in knowledge of UGA’s policies, guidelines, and procedures.

The cohort will meet over seven sessions to discuss and learn crucial aspects of supervising: managing self, managing culture, managing teams, and managing change. Program fee is $100/participant to cover materials and assessment cost.

Participants must:

(a) Be a current UGA supervisor, and

(b) Have completed the Supervisory Fundamentals program or the previous Certificate in Supervisory Excellence

 

 

 


SUPERVISOR SEMINARS  

The Supervisor Seminars are a collection of programs designed with current and aspiring supervisors in mind.

Seminars may be panel discussions, lectures from experts, or activity-based workshops and are open to aspiring supervisors, experienced supervisors, and anyone in between looking to sharpen their supervising skills.
