Graduate Associate Leadership Award

GALA defines leadership as:

Leading others through passion and vision, produced by conviction. Having strong communication and listening skills. Assuring that team members have the skills and abilities to do their jobs and rise to their full potential. Giving feedback, coaching and training. Motivating and inspiring others to work toward achieving common goals and innovations.

Every year, our graduate students are actively engaged in many leadership activities both on and off campus. They engage in leadership through academic roles, such as teaching and research, as well as campus/community involvement, such as student government or mentoring peers.

GALA is now accepting nominations from graduate faculty and staff through the downloadable nomination form, which can be found on the website linked above. Completed forms should then be emailed to Jordan.1193@osu.edu.
