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.
