Academic Leader Development and Seminars
The Offices of Academic Affairs and Human Resources collaborate on orientation and ongoing development opportunities for academic leaders including deans, associate and assistant deans, department chairs and school/center directors. Academic Leader Development consists of a series of seminars over the course of a year that address such issues as leader roles and responsibilities, promotion and tenure, faculty review and development, evaluating instruction, legal issues, managing staff and financial stewardship. The seminars, scheduled at the end of summer and prior to the beginning of autumn quarter, are designed primarily for new academic leaders; however, all academic leaders are encouraged to attend all sessions as new material is provided every year.
