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 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.

Your Account Manager is your strategic partner dedicated to both maximizing membership adoption and ensuring its impact. We are invested in the success of your team and we customize our approach to your professional growth and development.

Access: At the start of the partnership, your Account Manager will work with you to plan launching membership resources to all assigned users. They will collaborate with you on a communication plan, conduct virtual open houses with your users, and ensure those with membership access have the resources they need to succeed.
Adoption: Throughout the course of your membership, your Account Manager will monitor usage and help identify professional development opportunities that will engage your team.
Impact: With the help of stakeholders, your Account Manager will deploy one or more impact surveys over the course of the membership term to help you understand what impact professional development has had on individuals. We measure satisfaction and gain an understanding of what your users have learned by engaging with Academic Impressions professional development opportunities.
