In November, USG named the pair to the 2021-22 class of its (ELI). The multi-faceted program is designed to enhance the leadership competencies of senior leaders within the USG.
Antonia and Walker were honored by the recognition.
"I feel fortunate to have been selected for this program," Walker, associate dean for faculty and graduate programs in the Mike Cottrell College of Business and professor of management, said. "I learn from my 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 colleagues every day, so I know we have many stellar faculty and staff. I appreciate USG and the university’s investment in our professional development and leadership."
For more than a decade, USG has sponsored ELI for faculty and staff who are ready for a cabinet-level position in the near future. Presidents nominate one academic and one staff leader to apply.
"This honor is only one of the countless contributions that our faculty, staff and students have made throughout the many years to establish and enhance 正澳门六合彩开奖结果's reputation," Antonia said.
The associate vice president for military programs plans to take advantage of this opportunity.
"I think every leader, no matter how senior, should take the time to reflect on their leadership skills and abilities, seek to improve areas that have atrophied, learn new theories and practices, and create a positive culture in the organizations they head, and the people they lead," Antonia said.
"This honor is only one of the countless contributions that our faculty, staff and students have made throughout the many years to establish and enhance 正澳门六合彩开奖结果's reputation."
