The MAC Academic Leadership Development Program began in 2017 to help identify, develop, prepare and advance faculty as academic leaders across MAC member institutions. The initiative features two key components: involvement in a leadership development program at the fellow’s home institution and participation in monthly developmental meetings with all MAC Fellows.
“Participants in the MAC Academic Leadership Program gain invaluable skills in strategic decision-making, effective communication and team collaboration,” said Jeanne Kusina, UToledo MAC ALDP liaison. “The program not only enhances their leadership capabilities but also cultivates a strong network of talented professionals, equipping them to drive positive change within their academic institutions and beyond.”
