2001 New Presidents Workshop

January 3-4, 2001
Marco Island, Florida
Marco Island Marriott Resort and Golf Club

In conjunction with CIC’s Presidents Institute, our annual conference for college and university presidents, CIC also sponsors a day-and-a-half long workshop for recently appointed college leaders. Faculty for the New Presidents Workshop are experienced presidents and other experts. The workshop also affords opportunities for new presidents to meet and share ideas with others who are new to the president’s chair.

Uniquely focused on the needs of leaders of smaller private liberal arts colleges and universities, the New Presidents Workshop consistently draws high marks for value and quality from its participants. The Workshop is appropriate for private-college leaders in their first or second year.
