Senior Leadership Academy

The Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) and the American Academic Leadership Institute (AALI) are pleased to announce the 2013–2014 Senior Leadership Academy (SLA), a year-long program for mid-level administrators in higher education who aspire to senior leadership positions in independent colleges or universities. By completing the program, participants will have acquired considerable knowledge, skills, and experiences that are germane to the portfolio of responsibilities and activities central to the work of a college or university vice president or cabinet officer.

 

 Current Status

 
Twenty-five participants from independent colleges and universities were selected to participate in the program, which is intended for individuals whose next position most likely would be a cabinet position in academic affairs, student affairs, finance and administration, enrollment management, or advancement and who would like to advance in college administration.

Selection of participants was announced on Friday, February 22.
 

 DATE AND LOCATION

 
The fall seminar will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, beginning with lunch at noon on Friday, November 1, 2013, and ending at noon on Sunday, November 3, 2013. The closing seminar will be held in Washington, DC, June 10–12, 2014.
 

 Costs

 
The program fee for the 2013–2014 academic year is $1,250. The fee includes all program costs as well as meals during the two seminars. The SLA is supported generously by AALI, the Henry Luce Foundation, and Academic Search, Inc. The participant or his or her institution is responsible for travel and lodging expenses. Support to offset some of these costs is available to a small number of participants at institutions with unusually limited funding for professional development.
