The HERS Leadership Institute

Each year, Academic Affairs sponsors at least one colleague to participate in one of the nation’s premier leadership development opportunities for higher education professionals. Open to tenured, tenure-track, and academic administrators.

The HERS Institute is one of the most compelling leadership development opportunities in higher education. Participants are asked to share their vision of leadership and what they hope to contribute to their respective institutions and are then challenged to develop the skills to actualize their professional vision. As a non-competitive space, participants are also encouraged to champion the growth of other participants. Alums of the HERS Leadership Institute (HLI) emerge more confident and skilled at leading with their unique voice, providing institutions and the higher education sector overall with a much-needed infusion of bold new leadership.

The HERS programs and services are open to all regardless of gender identity.

Internal applications for institutional sponsorship due date TBD.

Application form includes a brief narrative and should be submitted to Academic Affairs. The selected candidate will then have to apply directly to a HERS Institute.
