Leadership Institute: Inclusive Excellence and Leadership: The Role of Individual Responsibility and Organizational Accountability
Each year, the Leadership Institute series allows academic administrators to interact with their peers around key topics. This series of short sessions are designed to expand upon themes introduced at New Administrator Orientation. These sessions are required for department chairpersons, school directors, and associate deans of non-departmentally organized colleges within the first two years of their appointments; all other administrators are encouraged to attend sessions they would find useful.
