Innovative Strategies for Developing New Academic Programs

It is essential for leaders to understand the impact of creating new academic programs as important parts of growing enrollment, maintaining relevance in the curriculum, and differentiating institutions. Too often, proposals lack rigor, are too ambitious or expensive, and lean too far into traditions as an approach for new program development.   Learn the art and science of growing academic programs in a way that maximizes your institution’s chance for success. You will walk through a set of criteria to consider when deciding whether to move forward with a new academic program or initiative. With the help of our expert speakers, you will consider ways to start small, think creatively, and build programs organically. We will dive deep into how you can assess a potential program and its: 

Leading High Performing and Inclusive Teams

In the aftermath of the “Great Resignation,” maintaining and supporting intact teams has become more difficult than ever before. Furthermore, dwindling budgets and decreased confidence about the viability of campuses of all sizes can make the willingness and ability of campus leaders to continue to motivate and manage teams feel daunting.  This conference is designed to provide leaders with a toolkit they can use with their teams to enhance psychological safety and improve outcomes among teams at all levels. With a focus on building trust, enhancing communication, understanding intersectionality and utilizing Academic Impressions’ Five Paths to Leadership℠ Self-Assessment, participants will have the opportunity to:

The Fundamentals of Leadership for New or Aspiring Leaders in Higher Education

New leaders often find themselves learning on the go—and often at the expense of intentional reflection on their leadership strengths, journey, or skill development. This leadership conference, facilitated by experienced higher education leaders, provides you with a set of tools for applying the key tenets of successful and equitable leadership. You’ll practice how to approach difficult and complex conversations through healthy and constructive dialogue so that you can increase trust, motivation, and engagement within your team. You will also gain the confidence and skills needed to become a more effective leader in higher education, rooted in both a deeper awareness of your core purpose as a leader and in your commitment to equity.  Highlights of the program include: 

Driving Institutional Strategy as a Chief Strategist or Chief of Staff

Higher education is at an inflection point. Small colleges have closed due to financial and enrollment challenges, there is public scrutiny over cost, curriculum, value, and the worth of a college degree, and student debt is at an all-time high. And for all of these issues, the Chief of Staff/Chief Strategy Officer plays a crucial role in helping to address them, yet they often have a more solitary professional experience than other Vice Presidents and Cabinet members—many times working through influence rather than via large divisional and organizational chart purview. Through the Academic Impressions Five Paths to Leadership℠ Self-Assessment, you will discover how you show up as a leader in typical circumstances as well as during times of stress and use this understanding to identify how to work more effectively in your strategy focused role.   This one-of-a-kind conference experience invites Chiefs of Staff, Chief Strategy Officers, and Chief Strategists like you to ensure that you have a data-informed and big-picture understanding of the critical issues facing higher education, and how those may impact the work accomplished by you, your President, and your institution. You will build community, develop resources to take back to your campus, and deepen your understanding […]
