The Institute for Leadership Advancement (ILA) in the Terry College of Business develops values-based, impact-driven leaders. ILA offers two undergraduate paths to earn the Certificate in Personal and Organizational Leadership: The Leadership Fellows Program (for students in any UGA major) and the Leonard Leadership Scholars Program (for Terry College majors). These programs aim to create a new class of leaders who are well trained and embrace ILA's core values of responsibility, stewardship, excellence, integrity, and purpose.

In both programs, students learn behavioral and organizational leadership skills that promote self-development, effective communication, team work, innovation, and adaptability in a changing global environment. Students develop their effectiveness as leaders as they gain a deeper awareness of ethical and social issues, furthering their commitment to service and volunteerism. The Leonard Leadership Scholars Program (LLSP) is a highly selective two–year leadership development program designed exclusively for Terry undergraduates. The program provides personalized leadership training through innovative courses, enriching co–curricular activities, and challenging Service-Learning opportunities. The student commitment creates and sustains a strong servant–leader culture.
