GWALA Nomination Process

We are now recruiting for the third GWALA cohort.
Eligibility requires a minimum of five years of professional experience in a university setting, one reference, and an interest in serving in an academic leadership position at GW.
The ideal candidate is a leader in a lab, school or academic unit and/or a faculty member in a position to lead a project or team.
There are two ways to submit a nomination:
1. Faculty may submit a self-nomination form.
2. GW leaders may submit a candidate nomination form.
Nominations close on August 19, 2022.
Selection decisions will be based forming a diverse cohort of fellows from across GW. As needed, based on the number of nominiations we receive, we will factor in interest and need to prioritize.
If you have questions or would like more information, send an email to the program facilitator.
