Who Should Attend?

This program is designed for those in higher education who aspire to more significant leadership roles, including disciplinary faculty, librarians, information technology professionals, and administrators—people who view themselves in the middle of the educational structure of their institutions.

Participants must be nominated by a member of the institution's senior leadership and will be selected competitively from among applicants who have a commitment to, and talent for, leadership within higher education. The group as a whole will be chosen to reflect the variety of backgrounds and diverse expertise that constitute higher education.

Attributes of successful candidates include the willingness to take risks, the capacity to understand the environment outside one's immediate surroundings, and the ability to apply critical and creative thinking to problem solving.
