Engagement Academy for University Leaders

For many of our institutions, engagement with the external community is increasingly critical to their long term success. Virginia Tech is pleased to announce the Engagement Academy for University Leaders on June 9-13, 2008. This executive leadership experience is designed to build institutional capacity for engagement within the context of the institution's strategic plan.

CUMU, with AASCU and NASULGC, has been working with Virginia Tech's Center for Organizational and Technological Advancement to develop this program.

The participants in the academy will return to their campuses with the ability to:

• Advance the institution’s strategic plan for engagement
• Effectively link engagement to the teaching, research and service missions
• Build institutional commitment involving faculty, students, and community partners
• Evaluate and communicate the impact of engagement.

Attendance is limited to 35 individuals who are nominated by their institution’s president. Nominations are December 17, 2007.
