Competencies for Academic Leaders
What are the key skills academic leaders need right now? These workshops and programs focus on the core competencies unit leaders have identified as most critical. Each offering provides practical tools and strategies to support success in today’s higher education environment.
Current Conversations
These sessions connect unit leaders with campus and university leadership to exchange insights and stay informed about emerging issues.
Academic leaders are invited to participate in 1-hour sessions hosted by the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs (OVPFAA). Discussion is shaped by questions submitted in advance by attendees.
Community Building
Your fellow academic leaders are an invaluable source of insight, support, and shared experience. Throughout the year, we offer opportunities to connect, learn, and collaborate with peers across campus.
Take advantage of these gatherings to exchange ideas, navigate challenges, and build a strong leadership network at IU.
