Introduction
In addition to the presentation slides based on our October, 2017 Leadership session on Supporting the Development of Academic Staff and Fixed-Term Faculty, these books were listed as resources.
The series of meetings for women chairs, school directors, associate deans from non-departmentally organized colleges, and directors of academic programs similar to departments/schools will continue this year. Marilyn Amey, Assistant Provost for Faculty and Academic Staff Development (and former department chair) will host these monthly sessions.
Description
Each year, the Leadership Institute series allows academic administrators to interact with their peers around key topics. This series of short sessions are designed to expand upon themes introduced at New Administrator Orientation.
There are many additional resources you may access, offered through MSU’s institutional partnership with national and regional organizations. Please take advantage of these opportunities.
