Empowering Leadership for Student Affairs Professionals in Higher Education
February 27-29, 2012 | Babson Executive Conference Center | Wellesley, MA
register
The Professional Development Institute is a unique leadership development program for student affairs administrators seeking to lead organizational change, articulate a personal vision for their work, and build partnerships with campus colleagues. While we present these skills in the context of successful alcohol prevention leadership, these skills are broadly applicable to other realms of student affairs leadership - residence life, health and wellness, and beyond. Developed by leading prevention experts and in close partnership with EverFi, formerly Outside The Classroom, the program combines self-reflection, interactive dialogue, and practical application of learned skills to create an engaging learning experience.
