Spring 2024 Critical Friends Peer Mentoring sessions

This opportunity is open to all department chairs, school directors, associate deans in non-departmentally organized colleges, and directors of academic programs similar to departments/schools.

This program will focus on developing a community of peers, by providing a venue to give and receive effective feedback and promote group problem-solving.  Used at the Big Ten Academic Alliance Department Executive Officer (DEO) Training, the Critical Friends* model will be used to facilitate these structured problem-solving conversations around particular topics or issues participants want to discuss

The first session will provide a brief overview of the program, followed by at least one round of the Critical Friends model. Before each session, I will email to ask if anyone registered would like to share a current issue they are dealing with.
