Be a part of a special program for women seeking to become leaders in higher education administration and student affairs. This year’s program will have a special focus on the economic challenges facing colleges and universities and what you can do to address it.

Coproduced by more than seven higher education associations, this unique program will bring together mid-level administrators from across campus functions to help you: 
  1. Hone your leadership skills for working in a rapidly changing environment 
  2. Develop a better understanding of the campus as a workplace and culture 
  3. Share experiences with others about how campuses are adapting and adjusting to the new reality
  4. Create new personal networks and networking skills to better tap the higher education community
Through presentations, small-group exercises, and discussion, you will gain a practical understanding of what it takes to be a leader on a college or university campus—both the challenges and the rewards. Examine the unique roles, skills, and relationships needed to lead as higher education faces and deals with the most challenging period in 50 years.


What You Will Learn:

  • To effectively utilize key leadership skills: negotiation, communication, introducing and managing change, developing yourself and others, and creating effective work environments
  • To develop your greatest strengths and talents through a highly regarded personal assessment tool
  • To recognize and appreciate the roles, responsibilities, and perspectives of a broad range of higher education professionals
  • To build relationships and improve goal achievement when working with people from across campus
  • To help your institution respond successfully to the unique challenges of today

Who Should Participate?

The program is designed for women who aspire to become senior leaders in higher education. Current responsibilities should include administrative functions that regularly require decision making that affects departmental operations and involves other important relationships on campus.

What participants have to say:

“The workshop was fantastic—well-organized, informative, and thought-provoking—thank you!” “I loved the fact there is an all-women institute. I appreciated the variety of ages and years of experience in the delegates.” “What made this conference valuable was the interaction with other participants and personal time to reflect and rejuvenate.” "This is the best conference I have ever attended."

 

 

The ACUI member fee listed above is extended to all members of ACPA, ACRL, ACUHO-I, APPA, NACUBO, NAEP, and NASPA.
