The American Conference of Academic Deans (ACAD) has nurtured academic leaders for 60 years, focusing on the ethics and practice of academic leadership. As a longstanding supporter of SENCER ideals and reform efforts, ACAD will offer a pair of workshops on leadership development at the SENCER Summer Institute. These workshops are being developed in response to specific needs identified by SSI alumni.

Part I Laying the Groundwork: Building and Managing Working Teams

This workshop will help participants identify effective ways to sow the seeds of effective leadership.

Part II Getting There from Here: Strategic Planning

This workshop will give participants the opportunity to integrate lessons learned into a realistic framework for strategic planning.
