Institutional
Diagnostic Service for New Presidents
The Council of Independent Colleges (CIC), partnering with The
Presidential Practice (TPP), is pleased to announce a new Institutional
Diagnostic Service (IDS) that will assist recently appointed college and
university presidents to identify (1) serious problems that should be
addressed immediately as well as (2) promising opportunities for strategic
attention. The IDS will engage a team of former presidents and experienced
consultants, who will review institutional documents and conduct interviews
with key individuals during a campus visit. The purpose of the Institutional
Diagnostic Service is to enable new presidents to make the most effective
use of their early months as president.
Funder: Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
Program Status: College presidents in their first or second year
in office may request this assistance. Up to ten institutions will be
selected to participate in the pilot phase of this program. Currently,
four institutions are participating in the pilot phase with submissions
for the next opportunity to participate currently underway. The deadline
for expressing interest to participate is October 12, 2007.
Costs and further information are provided in the program guidelines below.
