Academic Leadership Academy
The strength of any organization can be measured by the capacity of its members to be leaders at many levels. WMU is pleased to offer faculty and university professional staff the opportunity to develop their leadership skills through the Academic Leadership Academy (ALA). The ALA program is designed to help participants:
Identify techniques that will allow for effective facilitation of groups/organizations.
Understand collaboration and opportunities to mitigate (limit) conflict that is detrimental to team success.
Uncover the more nuanced organizational cultural contexts of WMU and other institutions.
Identify and prioritize challenges and leadership opportunities in realms such as academic, research, and economic development and social justice.
Understand leadership literature and translate that literature into practical application.
In Fall 2024, the WMUx Office of Faculty Development, in conjunction with the Provost's office, will introduce an updated structure for the Academic Leadership Academy and will invite faculty and university professional staff to apply for the 2024-25 academic year at that time.
