What is the Academic Leadership Institute?

The UAF Academic Leadership Institute is a unique and exciting, two-semester-long professional development opportunity for a cohort of UAF employees who are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of current issues and the changing landscape in higher education. 

The Institute meets once a month on a Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to noon. Most meetings will include a dialogue with an invited speaker (such as the UA President, a UA Board of Regent representative, a community leader, or another key Alaskan leader), a question and answer session, and a case study discussion. Continental breakfast will be served. Required reading will be assigned for every session, and each of the participants will receive a book and reading materials.

Who Should Consider Applying?

  • Relatively new administrators
  • Faculty or staff who are considering administration as a potential career path
  • Faculty or staff who are interested in the topic of leadership in an academic setting
  • Rural campus employees are encouraged to apply; rural participants will be connected via audio conference system
