Knowledge, skills, and approaches to successfully lead and enhance the climate in an academic organization.
Advancing Academic Leaders (AAL) is a leadership development program designed to support the growth of leaders -- department chairs, Center/Institute/Program directors, coordinators and other academic leaders. This three-session interactive summer institute highlights the skills and practices of successful leaders who establish a vision, build relationships and enhance the climate in an academic organization. Participants attend all three sessions.
The Office of Engagement and Faculty Development, in cooperation with the UNH Browne Center, the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics and UNH Advance, is offering this faculty development program to build the knowledge, skills, and toolkits of academic leaders.
