Leadership Academy

The Southern Utah University Leadership Academy trains new, junior, and other interested faculty in the concepts and skills needed to become an effective academic leader and administrator. The Academy meets five times each Spring Semester; each session benefits from expert advice delivered by experienced leaders, administrators, and faculty.

Participation will be determined every fall through consultations between CETL and each college Dean; those interested in joining the 2014 Leadership Academy should contact their Deans directly.
