Leading Academic Units provides academic leaders in these roles the opportunity to learn strategies for leading and supporting student success efforts within and beyond their academic units. Regardless of the initiative that each community member has been tasked with leading, during their year in this community, they will learn effective leadership techniques for ensuring that student success remains a priority for their academic units and that strategies they use are appropriate for their student population, institutional structure, and organizational culture.
