A Message About the Upcoming Program

The Academy for Innovative Higher Education Leadership is a professional development experience unlike many of the higher education training opportunities available. While many programs focus on tactical training for leaders in specific functional areas, the Academy supports leaders in developing the skills necessary to cultivate innovation, lead transformational change and scale proven ideas.

We have considered the impact of COVID-19 on our institutions and higher education leaders and determined, we will not host our traditional intensive program in 2020-2021. We are in the process of reimaging and designing our program to ensure the health and well-being of fellows, faculty and staff and to address the operational realities of fellows' and their institutions.

If you would like to stay connected and learn of future offerings, please share your contact information with us.
