The Leadership Academy:

• Prepares mid-level practitioners — those below the level of vice president — to implement evidence-based reforms that improve student outcomes. Participants include a broad cross-section of community college faculty and staff. Typically, each cohort includes about one-third academic affairs faculty and staff; one-third student services staff; and one-third operational staff, including institutional research, information technology, finance, and workforce development staff.
• Builds individual colleges’ capacity by creating a stronger bench of reform-minded practitioners throughout the institution.
• Expands the pipeline of future senior leaders and helps colleges with succession planning.
• Enhances the statewide network of reform-minded practitioners who are invested in improving student outcomes.
