Asian students, faculty, and staff continue to be underrepresented in higher education, and as we look at leadership positions, this gap widens further, with only 1% of college presidents identifying as Asian. While individual support and leadership advancement is important, it does not address the systemic issues that created these inequities in the first place. In this virtual session, we will discuss steps you and your institution can take to create a more inclusive and equitable environment to support Asian faculty and staff. This program is the second in a two-part series. While this second program is intended for any leader interested in creating systemic change at their institution to better support Asian leaders, the first program is specifically for leaders who identify as Asian.

Connecting your everyday work with your life’s purpose to find greater well-being contributes to improved professional satisfaction and productivity, but it requires continued reflection and iteration. Join us for a 1-hour discussion where we will further explore themes from Actualize Your Purpose: A Workshop on Improving Your Well-Being.
The pandemic has fundamentally altered the way we work: remote and hybrid environments, students and colleagues in greater need of support, and demands for greater work-life balance. This is the perfect time to take stock, check in with yourself and your goals, and start creating work habits that work for you. Join us online for an interactive workshop and discussion that will help you refocus your time, energy, and future work in realizing your purpose and professional vision. You’ll begin the workshop by assessing the current state of your well-being and reflecting on the factors that most contribute to it. You’ll then explore to what extent inherited norms shape your definition of success, so that you can create your own definition of success based on your values and the impact you want to have in the world. Finally, you’ll document a practical and tangible plan that outlines the goals and tasks you’ll need to craft the meaningful life and career you desire.

In a 2021 survey conducted by Academic Impressions, 51% of respondents reported experiencing clinical levels of burnout. These high levels of burnout come on the heels of department chairs being asked to do more than ever during the COVID-19 pandemic. You likely already know that you need to set boundaries both with your Dean and faculty to better manage the effects of burnout and help yourself regain a sense of well-being. However, it’s not always clear how to effectively communicate those boundaries to others. You might say “yes” or give more of yourself than you should, for fear of making others feel angry, disappointed or rejected. Join us online to learn how to say “no” and communicate your boundaries in a clear and empathetic way – one that builds trust and nurtures your relationships with others. Our expert speaker, Dr. Jackie Leibsohn, is a clinical psychologist who has also served in faculty and leadership positions in higher ed. Through this interactive workshop, you’ll explore and practice a framework that can be used with all stakeholders and that will enable you to: Communicate your boundaries respectfully and compassionately. Validate the needs of others and acknowledge the impact that saying “no” can […]
Alumni volunteers are immensely valuable to institutions in both their service and giving power— they tend to give 10 times more than non-volunteers. However, since the pandemic, the script has flipped on how we recruit and engage alumni volunteers through digital channels. In-person volunteer opportunities continue to foster alumni engagement, but with digital opportunities growing increasingly common as well, we must continue to learn best practices from one another to remain successful. In this virtual training, our expert panelists will guide you as you share your own lessons when digitally engaging your alumni volunteers. Together, we will identify emerging best practices regarding volunteer recruitment, training, and engagement that lead to the retention of your most dedicated alumni. You will leave this training with the best current practices to engage your volunteers — during this pandemic, and beyond. In this updated edition, a Q&A with the speakers, Clarybel Peguero and Parks Smith, has been added to the recording.
Creating and maintaining an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone on a campus is necessary to recruit and retain diverse faculty, students, and staff, as well as to create an environment that promotes Global Citizenship to reflect an increasingly global society. Yet at most institutions, DEI initiatives only focus on domestic diversity and lack a global perspective. By not incorporating global diversity into larger DEI work, we risk short-sighted DEI initiatives and alienating different forms of diversity, including international faculty, students, and staff. We know that research points to an enhanced focus on Global DEI as increasing inclusivity and feelings of belongingness by fostering a welcoming environment for all. This effort, overwhelmingly resulting in positive effects, can only be possible if all faculty, staff, and students (international and domestic) are continuously trained in terms of intercultural competencies. In this training, we’ll therefore focus on how to infuse Global DEI into your overall DEI strategy. We’ll frame how doing so will help you to leverage multicultural perspectives, provide a voice to international and multicultural populations, foster cross-cultural interaction, and provide intercultural education and engagement opportunities.

Higher education is at its best when faculty and staff have a sense of freedom to be their best selves at work. Common causes of this lack of freedom include a fear of reprisal for sharing feedback or not feeling valued as a whole person. To create healthier workplaces that build confidence and provide a more supportive atmosphere, leaders must understand what causes their team to feel constrained, so that they can accompany them in this co-creative process of change. By applying trauma-informed and liberation psychology approaches, we will discuss how leaders can build healthier working environments that free people to be creative, innovative, and experience a deep sense of belonging. You will leave this two-hour virtual training with a deeper understanding of your own role in cultivating healthier working environments—including what motivates you to work for change and how you might bring about those changes, no matter your leadership role. You will also leave with practices and strategies to continue the self-reflection required to stay the course and walk with others, as collaborators and co-creators of new ways of being and doing.
American higher education includes over 4000 institutions of varying size, structure, and focus, with each serving an increasingly diverse and dwindling number of traditionally college-aged students. But there are still some commonalities in how institutions are governed, financed, organized, and assessed—not to mention the fact that institutions face similar enrollment and retention challenges across the board. This course is designed to give you a broad overview of the American higher education landscape. Our expert instructor, Dr. Kelly Wesener Michael, will walk you through the different types of institutions that exist, how these institutions are typically funded, who is involved in governing both public and private universities, and how institutions set and assess the effectiveness of their mission and goals. Accompanying the course is a workbook designed to help you gain familiarity with the processes and mission of your own institution—how governance works for you, what the demographics of your student body are, where your funding comes from, and how your institution does strategic planning. This course will be highly beneficial to anyone who is new to higher education, either in a first professional role or who is transitioning to higher education from another industry. Additionally, faculty or staff whose experience […]
