Program Overview:

This program is a nine month blended learning program.  Participants will be required to participate in an online program (which provides flexibility for their schedules) as well as attend full day programs as scheduled.  Between sessions, participants will be required to practically apply newly acquired skills, get feedback from their institutional mentor, and then discuss what worked or did not work as part of the next learning session.

As part of the program, participants will take a series of leadership assessments to help determine areas for development and will be required to complete a “leadership challenge” project that will not only foster their own development, but benefit their institution.  Significant preparation will be required prior to the beginning of the program and current event reading will be included in the program.  Each participant will also be asked to have a program sponsor/mentor from their own institution to ensure that leadership development is enhanced before, during and after the program is completed.
