Questions & CommentsInstitutional 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.
