Academic Leadership Development Opportunities
CIC Academic Leadership Program, which was developed to hone the leadership and managerial skills of faculty members on CIC campuses*. Participants take part in three two-day seminars that rotate among the CIC institutions. More than 70 Ohio State faculty members have participated in the program since its inception in 1989, and many of these former fellows now hold prominent roles in university leadership.

President's and Provost's Leadership Institute, a two-year program for long-term faculty leadership development. Focusing primarily on the nature of effective leadership rather than discrete leadership tasks, the institute aims to create a pool of potential leaders from groups that traditionally have been underrepresented in key leadership roles, especially that of department chair. Participants are tenured faculty who don’t currently hold significant leadership positions, but who may be in a position to do so within two to five years.

The Academic Leader Development Series, aimed at training all of Ohio State’s new academic leaders in the roles and responsibilities of a leader, faculty review and development, critical legal issues, staff performance management, and financial stewardship. We encourage the participation of new deans as well as all new associate and assistant deans, school and center directors, and department chairs. The Academic Leader Development Series is meant to serve as a follow-on program for participants in the President's and Provost's Leadership Institute.
The Higher Education Resource Services (HERS) Bryn Mawr Summer Institute is a month-long residential program presenting an intensive leadership and management development curriculum for approximately seventy women faculty and administrators on the campus of Bryn Mawr College.
