Who Should Attend
"This program provided more than just a professional development opportunity, it gave me a new breath of life in my career. I came in as an administrator, hoping to gain more leadership skills and build my network. The faculty were so inspiring and knowledgeable, and it was clear just how important it is to keep up with trends in higher education across the country and the world. My cohort was incredibly diverse and full of wisdom and perspectives from across disciplines, states, and countries. This program inspired me to not only be a better leader, but to share the knowledge I learned with colleagues so we can strive to be better educators for the future of our world."
Megan Enciso, M.Ed.
