帝王会所

帝王会所 has joined with other colleges and universities in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) to participate in the Academic Leadership Program (ALDP).  

The goal of the Mid-American Conference Academic Leadership Development Program is to assist a select group of individuals (Leadership Fellows) to develop and enhance their ability to be effective academic leaders.  The overarching goal is to build the leadership pool at Mid-American Conference institutions. 

The expected outcomes of the ALDP are:

• Describe the impact of the external influences on the role of leaders in a higher institution 
• Identify best practices in academic leadership 
• Assess one鈥檚 own leadership potential 
• Communicate the importance of inclusive excellence 

Up to four outstanding individuals are selected each year to serve as OHIO ALDP Fellows under the mentorship of the Vice Provost for Faculty Development. The program has two components: (1) a university-level development program led by the Vice Provost, and (2) participation in a series of MAC-wide workshops including two in-person sessions and monthly virtual sessions.
