Faculty affiliation is open to any member of the Georgia College faculty at the rank of lecturer, senior lecturer, assistant professor, associate professor, or professor. Applications should meet with the approval of the chair of the faculty member's primary academic department. Affiliate status will neither supplant nor replace a faculty member's primary academic appointment. Affiliate status remains contingent upon a faculty member retaining his or her primary academic appointment and will be terminated should the faculty member no longer hold an appointment in one of the accredited disciplines of the institution.
The faculty affiliation framework neither precludes nor supersedes the traditional mechanisms of faculty collaboration across disciplines and among the programs of the university. Furthermore, all members of the faculty, regardless of affiliation within this framework, by virtue of their rank and position, remain integral members of all leadership students' education and mentoring.
In a statement of rationale, please explain how affiliation might support your teaching and scholarship. Please outline how you intend to connect your discipline to leadership, broadly defined, including citizenship, democracy, public affairs, and public service.
