Building an In-House Leadership Development Program in Higher Education

Denver, CO | June 24, 2025 8:00 am MT - June 25, 2025 4:00 pm MT


Learn flexible and proven approaches to developing your leaders on campus.

Event Information

Academic Impressions has helped more institutions to develop in-house leadership programs than any other organization in higher education, and in this flagship two-day event, we’ll share what we’ve learned over 15 years of developing leaders and supporting in-house programs. Whether you are simply dipping your toe into the leadership space for the first time, or you’ve run a successful cohort-based program for years, we’ll share a wealth of resources, methods, and approaches that you can implement right away to develop the next generation of leaders at your institution.

Our Approach  

Adaptable: We have intentionally designed our program to explore multiple ways to develop leaders. Whether this is accomplished via one-off programs, cohort programs, or something in between, we’ll show you how our frameworks, models, and content can be adapted to fit your needs.

Human-centered: In addition to sharing proven leadership resources, special attention will be paid to ensuring that your programs center inclusivity and develop innovative and forward-thinking leaders.

Hands-on and Experiential: To help guide you in making critical decisions, we’ll share a workbook we’ve built through 15 years of working with institutions to develop their leadership programs. You’ll also experience firsthand a variety of tools and activities you can integrate into your program to increase self-awareness, build interpersonal leadership skills, and develop high-performing teams.

To preserve an intimate and productive experience, this conference is capped at 30 attendees.

Reviews


“This is one of the best workshops/programs I have ever been to. It’s precise, hands-on, perfectly scaffolded in segments that helped me to understand what my institution needs. Thank you, AI team!”

“This program provided practical and innovative training to not only build the attendee as a leader, but also to develop the future leaders of our institutions. You will walk away with ideas, but more importantly, with the skills and resources needed to implement these ideas.”

“The Academic Impressions experience is a great way to bond with others, learn similarities and differences, gain new ideas from our new colleagues, and benefit from top-notch content presented by the AI team.”
