Academic Leadership Development
Since 2014, Augustana College has hosted a two-year, cohort-based Academic Leadership Academy. This transformative program is designed to enrich leadership capabilities within higher education by guiding faculty through a rigorous self-assessment of their leadership strengths and capacities, while cultivating a profound understanding of their institutional context.
