As a bridge between administration and faculty, department chairs have one of the toughest jobs on campus. Research experts at Ithaka S+R will join experienced academic leaders at Dever Justice LLC in a program hosted by the Chronicle of Higher Education that will help guide new and experienced chairs through the challenges and transformative opportunities of their role.

This series has been enhanced to improve the participant experience through greater scheduling flexibility and a more dynamic program format. This program offers multiple modes of learning, including large-format seminars, small-group collaborative workshops, and written development exercises. The seminars on broader higher-ed context and practical applications of leadership skills will empower chairs with the tools needed to create meaningful change. Interactive workshops will guide chairs through the process of creating personal and departmental goals and making progress toward their initiatives.

On June 2 at 11am ET, join Ithaka S+R’s Martin Kurzweil and Catharine Bond Hill for a session on national trends in higher education, and at 2pm, Martin Kurzweil will moderate a discussion with Brian Gittens on the department chair’s role in building department culture.
