During an afternoon of presentations on April 30 designed to enhance the leadership styles of faculty and staff, special guest Dr. Kathy Kegley, founder and principal consultant of Synchlora LLC, presented
"Creative Thinking in Leadership."
Creativity comes in all shapes and forms, Kegley, who has a doctorate in
computer engineering, said. After being told she wasn't creative as a teenager
because she didn't possess traditional artistic skills, it took some time to "reclaim my sense of creativity," she said.
Plans are unfolding for a year-long focus on community engagement at North Georgia College & State University, during which a special effort will be made to encourage and recognize activities that contribute to that important aspect of the institution's mission.
In 2010, North Georgia plans to apply for an elective classification in Community Engagement from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and the upcoming academic year will serve as a period to document engagement activities.
