The ACE Institute for New Chief Academic Officers provides practical executive leadership development for CAOs in their first 3 years on the job.
Begun in 2005, the Institute is an annual program with 3 sessions throughout the year. Each session is highly participatory, using a combination of discussions facilitated by experienced CAOs and presidents, case studies presented by program participants, conversations with peers from diverse institutions, and briefings by national experts. Our goals are to identify topics and issues of immediate concern to new academic vice presidents and provide the means to address them.
Invest in your institution through this investment in leadership.
