Center for Faculty Leadership
The Center for Faculty Leadership (CFL) is dedicated to developing and sustaining a high quality of academic leadership that is central to the mission and goals outlined in the university's strategic plan.
The center serves as a resource for:
- individuals with aspirations for academic leadership
- as a training center for newly appointed department chairs, division coordinators and program directors
- and as a retooling center for current, mid-level academic leaders interested in improving the quality of their academic programs and/or advancing their professional careers in university administration.
Information and assistance emphasize exploration, experimentation and networking with programs presented in a variety of venues:
- informal discussions
- formal workshops
- guest speakers
- conferences
- networking and alliance building
- mentoring and shadowing
The center's mission encourages collaborative initiatives by the faculty. Thus, the Center also serves as resource and support for faculty-generated initiatives that require institutional support beyond the departmental or program level.
