The CIC, an academic consortium of 12 world-class universities, established the Academic Leadership Program in 1989 to help selected faculty on its member campuses to develop their leadership and managerial skills. Each year on a rotating basis, CIC member institutions host a series of three two-day seminars on the themes of leadership and human resources, long-range planning and budgeting, and motivating change at public research universities.
The CIC advances its mission by sharing expertise, leveraging campus resources and collaborating on innovative programs. For 50 years, the CIC has created new opportunities for member universities to work together toward greater efficiency, effectiveness and impact.
This year’s fellows, who were nominated for the program by their deans, will attend seminars at the University of Minnesota, Indiana University and Pennsylvania State University. Assistant Provost Glenda Haskell is the program’s institutional liaison for U-M.
