Abstract of Presentation
Why the Emphasis on Leadership?
We understand that our field requires outstanding leaders across the higher-ed mission and across many types of institutions. As such, we operate a graduate program that aims to do the following year over year:
Recruiting & Preparing Leaders
We emphasize leadership qualities in our screening and recruitment criteria for Ph. D. applicants, seeking credentials, experience, and achievements that speak to leadership potential as well as behavioral qualities consistent with effective leaders.
Leadership in the Academy Comes from Excellence in Research, Teaching, Outreach & Engagement, Institutional & Professional Service.
Our program focuses on preparing students to be outstanding in all areas of academic life by emphasizing the different forms leadership can take. xxii
