Chartered by the state of Georgia in 1785, the University of Georgia is the birthplace of public higher education in America and is the state's flagship university (https://www.uga.edu/). The proof is in our more than 240 years of academic and professional achievements and our continual commitment to higher education. UGA is currently ranked among the top 20 public universities in U.S. News & World Report. The University's main campus is located in Athens, approximately 65 miles northeast of Atlanta, with extended campuses in Atlanta, Griffin, Gwinnett, and Tifton. UGA employs approximately 3,100 faculty and more than 7,700 full-time staff. The University's enrollment exceeds 41,000 students including over 31,000 undergraduates and over 10,000 graduate and professional students. Academic programs reside in 19 schools and colleges, including our newly established School of Medicine.

The Global Leadership and Development (GLAD) Program is designed to provide educational, research, and training opportunities for students, professionals, and scholars who wish to develop their leadership and professional skills in this globally connected world.

The program originally began in 2006 by hosting visiting officials from Korea at the Carl Vinson Institute of Government ( CVIOG), UGA. Since then, the program has provided research and training supports for government officials from S. Korea, partnering with colleges and universities around the world. For over a decade, the program has provided professional development opportunities and trainings for over 400 visiting scholars at UGA.

Taking a holistic educational approach, the program consists of three pillars in providing an educational experience for program participants: global perspective and academic excellence with lectures and seminars from faculty in the highly ranked public and international affairs program in SPIA; professional and leadership development through internships, site visits, and networking opportunities with faculty at CVIOG and government officials in Georgia; and cultural understanding via out-of-classroom activities and field trips throughout neighboring communities and states in U.S.
