Faculty Leadership in Academia: From Inspiration to Reality

The cupola on top of Love Library lit up red

The Faculty Leadership in Academia: From Inspiration to Reality (FLAIR) program helps faculty prepare to advance their careers by taking on formal leadership roles. This leadership development program is for faculty with strong, untapped leadership potential who have the rank of associate or full professor (tenured, practice, research or extension) and who are either considering a leadership role or are in their first leadership position and considering continuing on a leadership path.

The next FLAIR program will be during the 2024-2025 academic year.
