Program Focus
Interdisciplinary faculty and staff interaction, leadership concepts and experiences,
and interaction with leaders on and off campus.
Each class begins and ends its program with off-campus retreats and participates in
one full-day session each month throughout the academic year.
Inclusive Leadership Institute members commit their time, energy, ideas and enthusiasm to the
program and come away with leadership skills, expanded university contacts and friends
that last a lifetime.
Program Participation
Faculty and staff members are selected to participate in the program each year through
their respected Deans or Vice Presidents.
Staff classes are comprised of between 20-25 members and run from October until June.
