2018 Leadership Academy

Leadership Academy Purpose

To build a diverse pool of academic & staff employees with the knowledge and skills to be successful in leadership roles at UCSC.

Eligible Participants

With the change to career tracks, we are piloting new staff eligibility criteria for 2017-18. Staff employees (P3-P5, S1-S2, M1-M4), with a minimum of six months of service, are eligible to participate. All Senate faculty are eligible; continuing Lecturers may apply and will be accepted into the Academy if space permits.

Overview

The Leadership Academy will meet over a three-month period, from January through March 2018. Each session will highlight specific issues and challenges faced by UCSC leaders. Through presentation, discussion, and experiential learning, participants will broaden their understanding of how UCSC operates and hone their leadership skills and abilities. The Academy provides a unique opportunity for cross-campus networking, and for dialogue with the Executive Vice Chancellor, and other campus leaders. Three of this year's sessions will be held jointly with the Graduate Student Leadership Program. There is no fee to participate.
