An annual, cohort-based program for new leaders in Academic Affairs. Facilitated by the Vice Provost for Academic Leadership and Faculty Affairs.
Program Goals
The primary goal of the New Academic Leaders Program is to enable each academic leader to lead and manage their units effectively and contribute productively to the University’s mission and strategic goals. To achieve that goal, the program is designed around the following learning outcomes:
Participants will
- Develop leadership skills across four levels of leadership mastery: personal, interpersonal, teams, and systems
- Understand the roles and specific responsibilities of academic unit leaders at Boise State University, including the legal- and compliance-related responsibilities of a unit leader and knowledge of state and university personnel and fiscal policies
- Gain practical skills in the day-to-day management of their department/program/unit
- Build a network of contacts within the University for ongoing problem-solving, support, and information sharing
