Whether he s helping to 3D-print masks during the COVID-19 pandemic or medical devices for children with disabilities, a common thread exists for Dr. Jon Mehlferber, who manages UNG s MakerBot Innovation Center.
The University of North Georgia (UNG) professor of visual arts thrives on teamwork that assists others without concern for who gets the credit. A good leader shouldn t necessarily be noticed. They should be doing good things and coordinating with others toward a common goal, but not necessarily being in the spotlight, Mehlferber said. Getting the job done behind the scenes is more important than reveling in the glory or spotlight of attention.
