Developing Leaders

Building Leadership Capacity Cooperatively Across Chancellor-led Units

Inclusive Leadership Matters

We aim to: 1) promote understanding of how bias and discrimination along visible and invisible identity lines can disrupt recruitment and retention efforts, 2) highlight how issues of institutional culture impact climate and unit culture, and 3) build confidence in the ability of leaders to act in real time when instances of inequity appear.

Inclusive Leadership Academy

The Inclusive Leadership Network hosts this cohort-based program to equip academic and administrative leaders to engage in critical self-reflection, foster positive relationships, and work toward institutional transformation within their scope and areas of responsibility.

Workshop Topics:

  • "Equity Fundamentals for Leaders I & II"
  • "Learning How to Mentor Across Difference"
  • "Leading Productive Conversations about Diversity, Equity & Inclusion"
  • "Assessing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Goals"
  • "Orientation to Inclusive Leadership"
  • "NVC: A Tool for Conflict Conversations and Sensemaking"

Registration for Spring 2025 has closed.
