Each year the Community College Leadership Doctoral Students present the Leadership Institute in which to facilitate workshops for its current Cohorts and alumni. The Leadership Institute prepares the student to function effectively in the cohort and provides direction for completing the requirements of the program of study. In addition, faculty members and visiting scholars share information on research initiatives, contemporary issues, and general aspects of leadership in community colleges. The Institute is usually a two-day session held in the fall and prior to launching the program of study for the year. Through participation in the Leadership Institute, Cohort members synthesize the requirements of the program of study, get acquainted with each other, and discover how their interconnectedness forms the basis of the Cohort experience.
Under the leadership of the Program Director, students plan, coordinate and conduct the Annual Leadership Institute. First year students view the institute as a means for them to gain insights about the CCLDP. The second year students see the Leadership Institute as a way to reassess their status in the program, as well as an opportunity for meaningful interaction, exchange and connection among participants as they engage in leadership development and research activities.
The Annual Leadership Institute focuses on the following objectives:
- provide opportunities for students to broaden their leadership skills,
- build a sense of community among new and continuing students,
- provide a forum for networking with local and national leaders from community colleges and associations
- provide an opportunity for new students to begin the development plan, and
- identify topic areas for their research study.
This year's theme is: Leading in Challenging Times. Despite the current shift in the national and global economy, today's leaders still have to know how to be productive and how to uphold the mission of the community college. As a result, Cohort 10 has designed this year's Leadership Institute to assist with these concerns. There are three (3) General Session workshops that will preface each concurrent session. Please see the list below in order to determine your session of interest, times, presenters, and location. We look forward to seeing you in August!
