Associate Professor Marta Hatzell and Associate Professor Susan Thomas have been selected to join the seventh cohort of Georgia Tech’s Emerging Leaders Program.

“We’re pleased to welcome the seventh cohort of the Emerging Leaders Program,” said Steven W. McLaughlin, provost and executive vice president for Academic Affairs. “Supporting faculty as they pursue their leadership journey, the program is an investment in our faculty, our strategic plan goals, the Institute, and the Georgia Tech community as a whole.”

Starting in Fall 2022 and continuing through Spring 2023, Hatzell and Thomas will take part in several leadership development activities, including a fall weekend workshop, monthly workshops, small-group work, and a 360-degree assessment.

“I am happy that Marta and Susan have been chosen to expand their leadership knowledge and skills through the Emerging Leaders Program," said Devesh Ranjan, Eugene C. Gwaltney, Jr. Chair of the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering.

All six of Georgia Tech’s Colleges are represented in the seventh cohort.

The Emerging Leaders Program started in 2016 and is designed for associate and full professors who have attained tenure. The program is a collaboration between the Office of the Provost, the Office of the Executive Vice President for Research, the Institute for Leadership and Social Impact, and the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty.
