From the provost: Academy grooms faculty for leadership

from-the-provost-logoPULLMAN, Wash. – Earlier this month I had the honor of celebrating the accomplishments of the Provost’s Leadership Academy. The intent of the academy is to infuse the faculty ranks, 25 to 30 people at a time, with knowledge of leadership and how the university works.

Since January, each of the 26 faculty members in the fourth cohort dedicated many hours to improving their people skills, communication techniques, and consensus-building tactics.

The fifth cohort of the Provost’s Leadership Academy will convene in early 2016. If you know a faculty member who is committed to improving leadership at WSU, please consider nominating him or her for the program.
