Most academic leaders assume their positions with very little training or support at the institutional level. We offer a comprehensive suite of trainings and resources for Department Chairs, Deans, Associate/Assistant Deans, and Faculty Affairs professionals to help them be successful in their roles.
Our approach combines leadership development with the practical, skills-based training academic leaders need to lead effectively at the personal, team, and division levels each day. Our training and resources are all firmly rooted in the academic context and presented by vetted experts with firsthand experience as academic leaders themselves.
