2027 ACJS Academic Leadership Development Workshop

Description

Throughout their academic careers, faculty members frequently find themselves serving in a leadership role for one or more periods. Most commonly, this might involve assuming responsibility for graduate or undergraduate degree programs or serving as a department chair or school director. Some colleges and universities provide limited training to faculty assuming new leadership roles, but that training is often technical (i.e., the “nuts and bolts” of paperwork and process compliance) rather than providing actual leadership skills (i.e., understanding how to guide a group of faculty through a reorganization process, how to proactively integrate inclusion considerations into unit operations.

The ALDS is designed for aspiring and new leaders (less than 3 years of experience). The Summit will explore the landscape of academic leadership, help participants better understand their leadership strengths and weaknesses, and foster a cohort of rising and aspiring leaders through networking and peer engagement.

The Summit will meet on Tuesday, March 30th, from 9 am to 5 pm. The 2027 ALDS is being offered at no cost to registered Annual Meeting attendees. However, participants must cover all standard conference costs (e.g., travel, lodging, registration, per diem). Space is limited; you must REGISTER in advance by March 5^th
