We are pleased to present our first leadership podcast, Suicidal Leadership. There is an ocean of advice about how to be a successful leader, but this podcast describes what not to do. Suicidal leadership describes how leaders in business, education and government sometimes turn their initial successes into ultimate failure, leading to termination. Dr. Patricia Daugherty presents research about suicidal leadership, teaching listeners about the definition and phases of the suicidal leader.

About the Student Activity/Recreation Fee
Providing a vibrant, engaging learning environment that promotes the development of the whole person and supports student achievement in and out of the classroom is part of the University of Georgia mission. Consequently, Student Activity/Recreation Fees funds are used to promote such an environment. Students enrolled in six or more credit hours at the Gwinnett Campus are required to pay the Gwinnett Campus Student Activity/Recreation Fee of $45. Proceeds are to be used to fund the activities and events of registered student organizations and to promote personal development, learning or other beneficial out-of-class experiences. Certain purchases are prohibited by law or policy – e.g., alcohol – and other purchases are very restricted – e.g., food.
The fee proceeds fund several types of events, including three main initiatives: Coffee and Culture, Healthy Habits and Raising Respect (see details below). We regularly assess student interests and event effectiveness, and we make changes based on that data. We increase access by tailoring events to suit the unique needs of Gwinnett Campus students, such as offering events on multiple nights to ensure equal access and creating many events in a “ten minutes or less” format.
About the Initiatives
Coffee and Culture is a weekly series in which artists are invited to perform or show their work in an informal coffeehouse-type setting. The purpose is to promote the personal development of students by presenting unique forms of cultural or artistic expression in a way that is easily accessible to the busy Gwinnett Campus student.
Healthy Habits is a weekly series in which we encourage students to make time for healthy choices on a regular basis, with a special emphasis on stress management. We do this by providing information, opportunities to get immediate relaxation via chair massage, as well as providing a free yoga class.
Raising Respect is a regular series in which we provide information about various identities, ethnicities, cultures, experiences and individuals for the purpose of deepening students’ understanding of difference and promoting inclusion, discussion and mutual respect.
Please contact Dr. Teresa Raetz with any questions or concerns. Thanks for your input!
