The New Presidents’ Academy, a special leadership opportunity designed for new AASCU presidents and chancellors, is responsive to the needs of the position and the person.
The emphasis of the Academy will be on the establishment of a strong presidential base. It is designed to provide both the know-how and the tools to forge a solid presidency. It will be an intensive, highly focused program, a group of tightly connected topics and experiences. The focus is on the first 500 days, developing and enhancing skills that will carry participants through their presidential career.
