ALP is an intensive year-long program to develop the leadership and managerial skills of faculty who have demonstrated exceptional ability and academic promise.
Chairs, Directors and Other Faculty Leaders
These programs are designed for faculty with formal leadership experience, whether as a department chair, program director, division chief or other leadership role in your school or unit.
