We welcome nominations and self-nominations for this yearlong, cohort-based program designed to foster engaged and experienced faculty leaders across the University. The ideal candidate is already a leader in a lab, school, academic unit, or team, or is someone who shows promise as they step into a new leadership role. GWALA is open to full-time faculty who hold either regular or specialized appointments. For those holding specialized appointments, teaching and service must be among their duties. If you have questions about eligibility, please contact Faculty Affairs.
